Instructions
In a mixing bowl, mix the shortening and sugar until creamy. Then add the milk, eggs, and vanilla.
3/4 stick vegetable shortening, 3/4 cup sugar, 3 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 tbs vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, graham cracker crumbs, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Once mixed, combine with the wet ingredients.
2 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs, 3/4 cup flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsp baking powder
Spray a 13 x 9 baking dish with oil and pour in the cake batter. Cook at 350°F for 30 minutes.
Let the cake sit and completely cool. The cake must be cool to poke holes in it. Once the cake has cooled, poke holes in the cake using the round handle of a wooden spoon.
Melt the chocolate melts with the oil to create a ganache. Stir to combine completely. Pour the warm ganache over the cake and spread it into the holes as needed. Make sure each hole includes ganache.
12 pack chocolate melts, 1 tbs oil
Once the ganache has cooled, spread the marshmallow cream across the entire cake. Top cream with chocolate bars and using a torch, apply flame to marshmallow and chocolate before sprinkling crumbs over the cake.
7 oz marshmallow cream, 6 chocolate candy bars, 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Notes
You can use a kitchen torch like this one to melt the Hershey bars. Useful for creme brulee too! If you don't want to get a torch, just pop it back in the oven for a few seconds to soften the bars.
