Instructions

Stay Awake

1 Place the crackers on a board. Mix cocoa powder with maple syrup to make a paste. This suddenly turns runny after initially being very stiff.

2 Spread the paste over the base of the crackers. Top each cracker with some banana then add some apricots.

3 Divide marshmallows among crackers, sticking them to the cocoa paste and banana. Press down slightly.

4 Place on a microwave-proof plate and heat for 20 seconds, or until the marshmallows have puffed slightly and become gooey. Serve immediately.

Variations

Make it vegan: Use vegan marshmallows. Check crackers are vegan.

HFG tip
