S’mores are one of my favorite treats.  And being able to make s’mores baked goods in the house all year long makes me happy.  These s’mores knots are fun and gooey and you can really “make them your own” based on changing the fillings to  fit your tastes.  You like the gooey, goodness of marshmallow – add more.  You like the warm, melty milk chocolate – add more! Prefer dark or white chocolate – switch it up!  Want some colors – add some colorful jimmies!

Pizza dough Time: 5 hours

Prep for Knots: 45 minutes

Bake Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 55 minutes (plus pizza dough time)

Ingredients

• ¼ cup milk chocolate chips.

Prep & Cooking Steps

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Roll out your pizza dough into a rectangular oval.

10. Twist and tie each piece into a knot and add to a parchment lined baking sheet.
11. Bake for 10-12 minutes
12. Serve warm with freshly melted marshmallow on top.  If you’re a chocolate lover, drizzle some extra chocolate on top. Enjoy!
