Smoked, S’mor-ssants
EQUIPMENT
Traeger Ranger Smoker (or any pellet smoker)
Wood pellets (e.g., hickory, cherry, or pecan for a sweet smoke flavor)
Aluminum foil
Tongs
INGREDIENTS
4 croissants
1 jar of marshmallow fluff
4 full-size KitKat bars (or 8 minis)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation:
Preheat your Traeger Ranger Smoker to 350°F (177°C) using your choice of wood pellets. Allow the smoker to come up to temperature, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
Preparing the Croissants:
Slice each croissant in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom half.
Spread a generous layer of marshmallow fluff on the inside of each bottom half of the croissants.
Place a KitKat bar on top of the marshmallow fluff.
Cover with the top half of the croissant, pressing down gently to secure the KitKat and marshmallow fluff inside.
Wrapping the Croissants:
Tear off a piece of aluminum foil for each croissant, large enough to wrap the entire croissant.
Optionally, brush the outside of the croissants with melted butter for an extra golden and crispy exterior.
Wrap each croissant individually in the aluminum foil, sealing the edges to ensure no steam escapes.
Smoking the S'mor-ssants:
Place the wrapped croissants directly on the smoker grate.
Close the lid and smoke for about 10-15 minutes, or until the marshmallow fluff is charred, and the KitKat has melted.
Finishing Touches:
Carefully remove the croissants from the smoker using tongs. Be cautious as they will be hot.
Let them cool slightly before unwrapping the foil.
Serving:
Unwrap the croissants and serve immediately while they are warm and gooey.
Enjoy your delicious smoked S'mor-ssants!
Tips:
Wood Flavor: Experiment with different wood pellet flavors to find your favorite combination. Fruity woods like apple or cherry add a nice sweetness that complements the marshmallow and chocolate.
Extra Gooeyness: If you prefer extra gooey marshmallows, add a bit more marshmallow fluff.
Alternative Chocolates: Try different chocolate bars, such as Hershey's or Reese's, for a variety of flavors.
Enjoy your unique and decadent smoked S'mor-ssants!
