As much as I like cake, it’s important to find sweet treats that have less fat and calories.  In the summer, I love s’mores.  It brings me back to summers spent camping and enjoying the outdoors.  It’s not yet warm enough to sit outside, even around a campfire, so I decided to bring the fun indoors.  To lighten the dessert, I chose to use Chocolate pudding.  With chocolate, Graham Cracker Crumbs, and toasted marshmallows- this dessert hits the spot!

S’Mores Pudding Pie                                         Serves 4

1 pkg. chocolate instant pudding

2 c. cold milk

1/2 c. chocolate chips

1 c. crushed graham crackers

1 – 2 c. mini marshmallows

• Crush the graham crackers with a food processor or a rolling pin.  Sprinkle about 2 Tbsp. of the crushed graham crackers on the bottom of each baking dish.  Next, whisk the pudding mix with the milk.  Spoon over the graham crackers pieces.  Then, sprinkle a few chocolate chips over the pudding.  Top with mini marshmallows.
• Heat the oven to broil.  Place the baking dishes on a baking sheet.  Broil for 3-4 minutes, watching carefully, until toasted.  They can burn quickly!  Garnish with chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbs.
