This Pumpkin S’mores Lush is FAST to make and the perfect no bake treat!
Can we just stop for a second and gaze at the beauty that is that crust. I mean, seriously. Check that thing out. It’s like an inch thick! Okay . . . it isn’t really. But it’s a THICK crust, friends!
Full confession: I made too much graham cracker crust.
***scoffs**
Is there even such a thing??
So, at first I was thinking, “OMG. This crust is way too thick. People are going to be so irritated with this.” And my literal next thought, a fraction of a second later, was:
There is NO.SUCH.THING. as too thick of a graham cracker crust!
If you happen to be of a weird school of thought that is easily frightened off by a thick graham cracker crust . . . . then I’m not sure we can be friends anymore.
Just kidding! #sortof
But for real, if it is too much for you, then cut the crust recipe by like a third. But really? You can’t have a good s’mores recipe without including the graham cracker and this it!
So this dessert combines the best of summer and the best of fall. No Bake + S’mores + Pumpkin = All the heart faced emojis! And honestly, this no bake treat was so easy to make! I did it in the middle of a CRAZY week for me and it was like less than a half hour start to finish. After you throw together all the layers you pop it in the fridge overnight to firm up and then you throw some chocolate chips, marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbles and top and serve it up!
It’s so good! Piper saw a picture of it the day after tasting it and said, “Ooooo! Yummy cake!”
