Are you sick and tired of traditional s'mores? Perhaps there just hasn't been as much innovation in the world of chocolate, marshmallow and graham crackers as you'd like. Well, why not try some s'mores spaghetti?
The brown "noodles" you see in the pictures are really made of Hershey's chocolate. The white ones? Melted marshmallow. Topping it all off are a couple crushed up graham crackers.
The chocolate and marshmallow noodles are made using agar powder, which is derived from algae and can be used to turn liquids into gels. The cooking process involves melting the chocolate and marshmallows in separate bowls and combining each one with a little bit of water, some milk and two grams of agar powder.
The mixture is then sucked up into a plastic syringe and injected into plastic tubing, which is placed in a bowl of ice water to allow the spaghetti to set. After a few minutes air is injected back into the plastic tubes thus pushing the finished noodles out the other end.
The great thing about agar powder is that it's completely tasteless, so when biting into the s'mores spaghetti all that your taste buds are met with are the flavors of chocolate and marshmallow.
Still not interested? perhaps you'd enjoy Peeps s'mores, deep fried s'mores, a s'moreo or a s'mores quesadilla instead!

I use molecular gastronomy to make better stuff. I use an anti-griddle(flat super cold surface) and spread marshmallow spread on top. then I brulee or caramelize the top with a torch(while the bottom is still frozen cold). I spread a little melted dark chocolate on top then sprinkle graham crackers on top. I use a thin metal spatula to unstick the marshmallow from the surface and then roll it around a skewer. and viola, crunchy frozen marshmallow on the outside(like freeze dried ice cream!!) but hot warm caramelized marshmallow on the inside with hot melted chocolate and graham cracker bits. :D
Plus, when making stuff like this s'mores spaghetti I never really know how it's going to turn out so I'd hate to spend a bunch of money on some really good chocolate and then end up throwing it away it it didn't work out.
