Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

S'mores Tarts

I reworked my chocolate tart recipe to create these fun, cute and yummy s'mores tarts. This recipe is rich and delicious and oh so decadent! And easy! Did I mention that? Just plop a big ole' marshmallow on top to change up this campfire treat into something wonderful. I used the big marshmallows but you could use the mini ones too! We loved these! (Psssst! If your not a marshmallow fan, just use whipped cream instead!)

S'mores Tarts



12 graham cracker tart shells ~ store bought or homemade
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1 12-ounce package semisweet chocolate chips
4 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs ~ room temperature

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Heat the heavy cream and milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat, until it just begins to simmer.

Remove from the heat.

Add the chocolate chips and stir until melted.

Add the sugar and salt and whisk until well combined.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs and then add a little of the chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Then add the egg mixture to the remaining chocolate mixture, stirring until completely blended.

Divide the filling into the graham cracker crusts.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Place on a cookie sheet and chill until set.

Heat oven to broil.

Place marshmallows on top and set under the broiler until lightly browned....just a few seconds!
