5 Minute S'mores Cake in a Mug

O.K. I know this is Labor Day weekend, the 'last' weekend to enjoy S'mores on the Grill, but if for some reason you're not at an end of summer barbecue, you don't need to miss out on S'mores! Here's a fab recipe that is a bit of a twist on the 5 minute Mug cake. You will love this!!! It's adapted from a recipe on The Food Network and How Sweet It is. As always, the final product and taste will only be as good as your ingredients--but it's all about your personal palette, isn't it? This recipe is a bit more complicated than the traditional 5 Minute Mug Cake, but I think you'll enjoy the results so much more! This is sooo fudgy. This doesn't have to be reserved for the Labor Day holiday. This 5 Minute S'mores in a Mug is fabulous any time.
