== Directions ==
=== Marshmallow ===
# Pour cold water over gelatin.
# Set aside.
# Put first measurement of corn syrup in mixer bowl.
# Combine hot water, corn syrup, and sugar in small saucepan.
# Stir over medium flame until sugar dissolves, then let cook without stirring.
# Cook mixture until it is 230°F (use a candy thermometer).
# Pour into reserved corn syrup.
# Whip on medium-high, adding gelatin mixture bit by bit.
# Continue whipping for ten minutes.
# Add vanilla extract, mixing just to combine.
# Spread in lightly buttered bread pan, shallow pan, or roasting pan.
# Make sure height is at least ½ inch.
# Let sit 24 hours, uncovered.
# Cut with hot, wet cookie cutter and toss in powdered sugar to keep from sticking to each other.
=== Frozen cocoa mousse ===
# Bring water, sugar, and vanilla to boil.
# Remove from heat.
# Add gelatin to sugar mixture, stirring to dissolve.
# Add cocoa, stirring well to get out lumps.
# Press through sieve into bowl over ice.
# Stir frequently until room temperature.
# Whip cream to soft peak with electric mixer.
# Fold into cocoa mixture.
# Whip egg to soft peak with electric mixture.
# Fold into cocoa mixture.
# Spoon mixture into a shallow baking sheet lined with plastic and spread out to ½-inch thickness.
# Freeze for at least 6 hours.
# Cut with cookie cutter or knife (so that it will sit on top of the marshmallow, which will sit on top of the graham cracker).
=== Graham cracker ===
# Combine dry ingredients well in mixer with paddle attachment.
# Changing attachment to bread hook, add rest of ingredients.
# Mix just to combine.
# If dough does not seem pliable, adjust water amount.
# Roll on lightly floured surface to ⅛ inch thick.
# Cut with a 4-inch diameter round cookie cutter and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
# When all are cut and on sheet, prick cookies all over with a fork.
# Bake at 325°F approximately 5 to 8 minutes until just lightly colored on the edges.
=== Malt sauce ===
# Incorporate egg yolks, sugar, and malt powder in a bowl and mix together well with a whisk.
# Scald milk and take off the heat.
# Using a ladle, temper the egg yolk mixture by adding a small quantity of milk to the bowl and then whisking together quickly (don't allow the yolks to cook or you will get a grainy final product).
# Continue adding milk in this fashion until you have a creamy liquid.
# Add this mixture to the saucepan with the remaining milk and blend together well.
# Using a wooden spoon, cook the sauce over a low heat, stirring constantly and making sure that the bottom is continually scraped.
# Cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens (it will leave a clean line on the wooden spoon when you draw your finger across it).
# Pour into a bowl and place bowl over an ice bath to cool.
=== Assembly ===
# Cut marshmallow with round cookie cutter one size smaller than the graham cracker.
# Place marshmallow on plate and torch with kitchen propane or butane torch (if not available, broil briefly under the broiler).
# Place marshmallow on top of graham cracker and put on plate with malt sauce.
# Place cocoa mousse in/on warm marshmallow and put onto the graham cracker.
# Top with second graham cracker and serve immediately.
