Ingredients
- 1 medium buttercup squash
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 8 slices baguette, 1/2-inch thick, cut on an angle
- 1 small chunk fresh ginger, peeled
- 8 large marshmallows
- One 4-ounce bar dark chocolate, cut into shavings
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the squash in half, scrape out the seeds and place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 50 to 55 minutes. Halfway through the cook time, flip the squash so it is cut-side up to release some steam and dry the squash out a bit. Once you can press the squash with your finger and make an indentation, the squash is cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then scoop out the flesh.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, the combine maple syrup, butter and 1 cup of the roasted squash. Paddle until smooth with a rubber spatula. Add the cream cheese and salt and mix until smooth. Cover and keep warm over low heat.
- Toast the bread until golden on both sides, then rub the bread with the ginger. Set aside.
- Thread the marshmallows onto skewers and toast over a fire (either in a fireplace or over a gas range flame) until darkly toasted and melty but not burnt.
- To assemble: Smear each slice of bread with some warm squash puree. Top with some chocolate shavings, then with a marshmallow. Consume immediately, in front of the fire.

Sooooo delicious and super creative!
I can make them over a campfire.
S’MORES? NO MORES! A HEALTHY, BUT DELICIOUS ALTERNATIVE. I SERVED THEM AS A SNACK TO GRANDKIDS BETWEEN LUNCH AND DINNER. PUTTING CHOCOLATE & A MARSHMALLOW ON ANYTHING USUALLY WORKS. OF COURSE THERE’S THAT ONE GRANDSON WHO TOPS EVERY THING WITH WHIPPED CREAM…SO INSTEAD OF THE MARSHMALLOW…WELL…REDDI=WHIP!!!!
real real good
