Stacked Campfire Donuts

The S'mores Donut Sandwich Turns the Outdoor Dessert into a Gourmet Meal

— August 11, 2016 — Lifestyle
Giving the outdoor S'mores recipe a revamp for the gourmet palette is lifestyle blog The Merry Thought that shares a campfire donut sandwich inspired by the same flavors. The dish incorporates all the staple elements that make a S'more, but augment them to a much more decadent level of taste and presentation.

The dish can be customized to suit a variety of tastes by selecting different donut flavors. The donut replaces the traditional graham cracker cookies in the fireside dessert. The recipe begins with a simple glazed donut topped with a layer of toasted marshmallow and dark chocolate. To enhance the flavor, chocolate peanut butter cups are added to give another flavor dynamic. Eaters can also further accent the sandwich with fragrant floral herbs, such as fresh thyme and rosemary.
