Smores Pancakes

Who doesn't love s'mores?   

Sitting around a warm, cozy campfire on a crisp, fall day...roasting marshmallows....and sandwiching them between 2 graham crackers...having that Hershey's chocolate bar ooze down your fingers.  Mmmm..there's nothing like it.  Especially --- with peanut butter.  In case you didn't know, I have a HUGE peanut butter obsession.   I put it on everything... especially pancakes.  But anyways, this was inspired by my s'mores cake I made a few months ago, which turned out phenomenal.  The pancakes are the #1 pancake recipe on allrecipes.com, but I substituted graham cracker crumbs for the most of the flour, and added some brown sugar.  I was nervous the graham cracker crumbs would make the pancakes too grainy, which is why I kept some of the flour.  I was also scared the marshmallows would melt or burn, but they turned out to be melt-in-your-mouth perfection.  I got the sipping chocolate at Whole Foods (a bazillion times better than that Swiss Miss junk), and decided to sprinkle it on top...oh man...it was so good.  My parents and I licked our plates clean.
