BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 From the Disney Food blog...S’mores a la Wilderness Lodge Jul 14th, 2011 by AJ. Disney World’s Wilderness Lodge carries the atmosphere of America’s great National Park Lodges — places where tall trees, fresh earth, clear lakes, and campfires are the backdrop for incredible vacations and explorations. And some quintessential eats at places like this are, of course, S’mores!! For those who aren’t sure what S’mores are, they’re a campfire dessert made by smooshing a roasted marshmallow with a piece of chocolate (Hershey’s is standard) between two graham crackers. Sounds pedestrian, but it really is a very rich and satisfying dessert! The name? Just imagine kids saying, “May I have s’more?” after getting their first taste! Wilderness Lodge offers two versions of S’mores in its restaurants: the S’mores cupcake at Roaring Fork, and the S’mores cheesecake at Whispering Canyon Cafe!S’mores Cupcake Over at Roaring Fork, Wilderness Lodge has introduced one of the most well-done S’mores cupcakes I’ve ever seen. Usually, S’mores cupcakes use fully formed marshmallows, but I love that this version tops off with melted, gooey, browned marshmallow on top! S'mores Cupcake You’ll also find a graham cracker-flavored cake underneath the marshmallow topping. But where’s the chocolate? Two places! Inside the cake are hidden a couple of pieces of Hershey’s chocolate. There’s also a piece of Hershey’s chocolate plopped onto the top of the Marshmallow. S'mores Cupcake Cross Section Chocolate Pieces Inside This dessert is amazing. I’m not a huge fan of marshmallow sauces, but this gooey marshmallow topping feels and tastes just like roasted marshmallow, and the graham cracker cake is a very interesting and unique touch. Delicious.S’mores Cheesecake This flavor-packed dessert has been on the menu at Whispering Canyon Cafe for years! Graham cracker crust is topped with dense, sweet cheesecake. Another layer of crust tops this, then chocolate ganache is spread all over the cake. Finally, marshmallows make up the top texture. S'mores Cheesecake at Whispering Canyon Cafe This one is not usually available via take-out, but you can always ask!Other S’mores Options There are plenty of other spots to find S’more-ific things in Disney World. S’mores-themed desserts can be found at Trail’s End, 50’s Prime Time Cafe, Le Cellier Steakhouse, and more! Don’t forget to check out the S’mores roasting at the Movies on the Beach at many Disney resorts — and at the Campfire and Sing-a-Long at Fort Wilderness! Chocolate covered pre-made (and relatively shelf-stable) S’mores can also be found at the Main Street Confectionery and other candy stores around Disney World. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Had the S'Mores Cupcake at Roaring Forks ... less than thrilling. The Marshmallow Frosting was perfect; the Graham Cracker Cake was OK; NOT ENOUGH Chocolate! You get the one piece stuck in the frosting and a couple of small pieces in the cupcake - no where near enough chocolate to make it taste right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
campingpixi 11 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I had the one a the forks and at boardwalk bakery and I have to admit the one at the boardwalk was WAY BETTER!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Ed is right, the cupcake at Roaring Forks needed lots more chocolate to make it right. I thought the cake was rather dry and dense, but if they injected some hot fudge into the cake it would have been perfect! I loved the frosting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
