Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 250° (hard-ball stage)., Meanwhile, beat egg whites in a heat-proof large bowl until stiff peaks form. With mixer running on high speed, carefully add hot syrup in a slow steady stream, beating constantly at high speed for 5 minutes or until thickened. Cover and set aside., In a large heavy saucepan, combine the remaining sugar, corn syrup and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Steps:

• Spread a generous dollop of peanut butter onto one side of 8 of the cracker squares, and then spread the chocolate-hazelnut spread onto one side of the other 8 squares.
• Thread the marshmallows onto 2 metal skewers and carefully toast over a flame on the stove top. Place 1 toasted marshmallow onto each of the peanut-butter-covered graham crackers. Top with the chocolate-covered crackers and sandwich together gently.
• Melt the white almond bark and milk chocolate in separate glass bowls set over simmering water. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally to keep the chocolate melted.
• When the toppings are at room temperature, one by one dip half of the sandwiches in the white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Work quickly, and then add on whatever sprinkles or toppings you'd like to use. Repeat with the remaining 4 sandwiches, dipping them in the milk chocolate and finishing with the desired toppings.
• Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Then you can store the s'mores at room temperature or in the fridge until you're ready to serve!

• 2. Melt almond bark in microwave. Dip each log into chocolate, place back on cookie sheet and refrigerate again until hardened. I also sling white chocolate over these as an added touch.
