The other day I needed dessert. Usually, when I find myself in such a mood, I whip up some cookies and problem is solved. This time, though, I wanted more than just a cookie. Cookies are like a dessert snack. I needed a dessert main course.
I gathered up some items I had in my pantry and threw together this insanely rich cake. A thick bottom layer of crushed graham crackers is the foundation with roasted marshmallows stealing the show on top. What's in between, you ask? Only some warm ooey gooey fudgy cakey goodness! You might want some ice cream with that...
