It’s Hit or Miss Wednesday! Last week I made this HGTV Copcat Candy Wrapper Lampshade. This past Saturday I made Chocolate Graham Pancakes from the August 18 edition of Woman’s World magazine. The mag was inserted in a lovely gift basket I received for my birthday.
Right smack dab in the middle of the magazine was a two page spread of S’more recipes from the S’mores Cookbook by Susan Whetzel. And my eyes quickly settled on the Chocolate Graham Pancakes. I immediately knew that I would be trying the pancakes for Hit or Miss Wednesday.
Half of the flour is replaced by finely crushed graham cracker crumbs. Anytime a recipe calls for finely crushing graham crackers, I skip the crushing crackers step and just buy a box of graham cracker crumbs. It’s just easier.
Cocoa powder is another addition to the pancakes and the piece de resistance is the simple marshmallow syrup. These pancakes could also be served as a scrumptious dessert!
I scoured the web for the recipe, but couldn’t find it, so I’m sharing it here.

Was it a hit?
My husband said it was pancake heaven! I didn’t think I was going to like the marshmallow syrup, but I was very pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
My daughter said it tasted like dessert for breakfast and reminded her of eating cake, fall and unicorns, all rolled up in one! She said the pancakes were the best she’s ever eaten and that the Marshmallow Cream Syrup was off the chain!
If you like pancakes, here’s my sweet potato pancakes I created after eating them at Cafe Intermezzo in midtown Atlanta.
