Italian S'mores
- 1 baguette, cut into 24 (1/2-inch thick) slices
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 (3-ounce) bars gianduja chocolate or semisweet chocolate with hazelnuts, broken along the indentations into 24 pieces
- 24 large marshmallows
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat, parchment paper, or foil.
- Arrange the bread slices on the baking sheet.
- Generously brush the butter over the bread slices.
- Sprinkle the slices with sugar.
- Bake until the crostini are crisp and golden, about 15 minutes.
- Arrange the chocolate pieces in a single layer atop the crostini.
- Skewer 1 marshmallow onto each of 6 skewers.
- Roast the marshmallows directly over a campfire until toasted to desired doneness.
- Push 1 roasted marshmallow atop the chocolate on each crostini and serve.
- Repeat to make 24 s'mores total.
- Alternative: Chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella) may be used instead of the chocolate bars.
- To do so, omit coating the bread slices with sugar before baking them, and spread about 2 teaspoons of the chocolate-hazelnut spread over each crostini before topping it with the roasted marshmallows.
