Graham Cracker Pancakes and S'mores Pancakes by extension

One of the great things about summer is that all of the fixin's for s'mores go on sale at the grocery store. Not that I ever go camping. But I do make use of those fixin's throughout the year. Here's one example: graham cracker pancakes. The pancakes are a little hearty, with a hint of graham.

This is all very good... but s'mores pancakes would be better! I added chocolate chips and mini marshmallows to the batter. The result was only ok--the marshmallows tend to disappear into the pancake, so it ends up being more like graham cracker chocolate chip pancakes. And there ain't nothing wrong with that.

But in my dream world, the ultimate s'mores pancakes would consist of marshmallow fluff and melted chocolate slathered between two giant graham cracker pancakes. Sounds good, doesn't it?

No picture! My camera ran out of batteries!
