Sundaes BestWhen you're short on time, you can easily add some frosty fun to dinnertime by serving up a variety of toppings and sauces and letting family members concoct their own scrumptious sundaes. Or scoop up one of these sweet and simple suggestions and treat your family to a refreshing dessert: Drizzle chocolate sauce over a scoop of strawberry ice cream and top with sliced berries and kiwi. Dollop with whipped cream. Instead of the usual chocolate sauce, top vanilla ice cream with warmed orange marmalade and a few fresh berries. For a super chocolaty treat, place a scoop of chocolate or chocolate mint ice cream on a brownie and pour on the hot fudge sauce. Add a spoonful of whipped cream, sprinkle with peanuts and accent with a maraschino cherry or a chocolate kiss. Like s'mores? You'll love this! Dress up a scoop of ice cream with chocolate sauce, mini marshmallows, whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs. Give a tropical-flavored ice cream added appeal with canned mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks. Serve with gingersnaps.

Simply bevcause even the word "Smores" makes me ill.I was a Girl Scout leader, and we made smores on our first cookout.My co-leader and I had a l;arge troop, 27 girls, and they each HAd to make each of us a smore.Do you know how sick even one bit off each of 27 smores will make you?It's been over 40 years, and I STILL get ill at the word.Evaporated milk and condensed milk are the same. I think the rater is confusing them with SWEETENED condensed milk, or Eagle Brand milk.

I made this cake and it started out tasting good, but as you kept eating it, just left a bad taste in your mouth. I will not be making this again. Go buy the smores in the store, a lot better taste than this cake.

Made 1/2 recipe as cupcakes. It was a trial run before making the whole cake for Thanksgiving dessert. YUM! I agree with an earlier review that the marshmallow is a bit of a pain to make, but it's worth it. Like the idea about adding fudge in the middle. Might have to try that myself on Thursday!

I made this to the "T" and I know it turned out right, it just wasn't a hit with the family. I think it was the denseness of the cake. I don't think I would make it again, but if I did, I would probably make a box yellow cake and sprinkle grahamn cracker crumbs on top of the frosting.Also, there is enough frost to put more than 2/3 cup in the middle, I did exactly that and had a lot more left over than I used on the cake.

I liked it a lot. If you want to make the frosting more flavourful just add a touch more vanilla.Redram I've sent you a message on suet and substitutions so I hope that helps!

Very good recipe but I tend to enjoy the roasted marshmallow flavor of real s'mores. The marshmallow frosting was not quite what I expected and I thought it had a slightly odd taste... But then again, I may have done something wrong. :) I made it last night and didn't really enjoy it when we sat down to eat it, but today I enjoyed it more. I think that's just because I have a tendency to "taste-test" everything while I'm cooking. Lol. I also had wished that the cake had more of a graham cracker taste.

My son was excited to try something new so he picked this cake. He was very disappointed in the time spent compared to the blandness of the cake.

This cake is not only deliciious--it is also easy to make.Does anyone out there know of a substitute for suet? Used in suet pudding and sometimes in mincemeat?

Just want to add to my review - I accidentally used condensed milk instead of evaporated which is why mine came out so sweet.
