S'mores Coffee Cake







This delicious, moist coffee cake is loaded with chocolate chips, toasted marshmallows and graham crackers in the filling. Can you think of a more delicious coffee cake. Not me, I love this recipe.
I have S'mores on my mind because we are going to Lake George and every night we have S'mores. I am bringing all of the stuff to make the S'mores but I am also making this coffee cake for the morning. This is another great recipe when I found it, loved it ever since..

  9. Place the cake under the broiler and bake for a few more seconds until the marshmallows are puffed and slightly brown. Just a few seconds so watch..
