SMore Bread
Recently, we had a regional foods exchange on the IHMMB Forums and I was lucky enough to get assigned to Myself. Heh, we have all kinds of fun with that user name on the forums, dontcha know, we’re just wild and crazy gals like that, you betcha! I don’t know that I could have asked for a better partner, she send oodles of neat stuff – I can’t help but think that it wasn’t by accident I was assigned a partner with a gluten allergy, so as to be sure I wouldn’t send Cheeseburger in a Can.
Myself tells me she found the bread at her local farmer’s market and that it’s a grand prize winner. She didn’t specify what sort of contest the bread won, but that’s okay, I was undeterred from trying it.
SMore Bread
The first slice just looked like a plain piece of white bread and I was concerned that maybe it was just regular bread with a bunch of S’More extract thrown in. This bread did come from Utah. Now, I don’t know anything about Utah except for Utah Hair and Utah Babynamer and that my box of Utah regional foods came with Lime Jell-O and marshmallows, so it didn’t seem outside of the realm of possibility that they make generous use of artificial S’More flavoring in baked goods. But, I decided to cut another slice and found this:
SMore Bread Cross-section
Yummy chocolate swirls! I love chocolate in bread, in Germany they have slices of chocolate to put on your bread like lunch meat. I always found that very civilized. And who can turn down a chocolate croissant?
Slice of SMore Bread
So I took a slice and it was pretty darn tooting tasty. It did taste kind of like a S’More, I think there were either crushed graham crackers or Golden Grahams in with the chocolate and I’m not sure where the marshmallow taste came from, but it was there. I can see why it won a grand prize! My google search didn’t yield a recipe, just a lot of —-s more bread sites, but I might try my hand at replicating it for the holidays. Thanks Myself!
Join me in a week or so when I finally work up the courage to try the Utah fake coffee Myself also sent. She also sent some really yummy looking homemade prickly pear jelly which I’d write about but I’m afraid it doesn’t really fit into the Museum of Snack Foods since I can’t really see any mocking opportunity there. Sorry, Myself.
Hehehe, I said Myself but I didn’t mean me — see, it *never* gets old!
ETA – I did wind up writing about the Prickly Pear Jelly for our other site blog, read it here!

Share the wealth. Send chocolate.
Chocolate always accompanies any kind of package I am sending out, it’s a personal requirement of mine.
We had a loaf of rootbeer bread (which did make use of artificial flavoring IMO) and I couldn’t reconcile the bread texture with the rootbeer flavoring.
Thanks for the write up, wonderful as always.

Good golly, that looks tasty!
I bet the marshmallow flavor is from the fluff in a jar mixed in with the other bread ingredients before the rolling process, or laid down as a layer before the chocolate. I’d think it would be pretty invisible once it got baked up.
Oh, that looks so good.
lime jello and marshmellows – classic.
Too bad funeral potatoes probably wouldn’t travel well.
That bread is making me hungry.
