Kick back with S'mortinis

This drink sounds fattening and labour intensive. I prefer my vices simple and a drink is not a -tini just because it is served in a martini glass. I hope that my guests don't develop a perverse prediliction for this beverage - anyone who requests one of these babies will never be invited back.
Frozen S'mortinis
Adapted from a recipe by Libby Brewer, web producer at Teletoon. 24 miniature marshmallows
1-1/2 tbsp graham cracker crumbs
1 tbsp chocolate cookie crumbs
2 tbsp corn syrup
2 cups ice
1/2 cup Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
2 tbsp each: Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur), creme de cacao (chocolate liqueur)
1 cup whole milk
Skewer 4 marshmallows each on 6 long toothpicks.
On medium plate, mix graham and chocolate crumbs with fork.
Pour puddle of corn syrup on to small plate. Dip rims of 6 martini glasses into syrup. Dip rims into crumbs to coat. (Leftover syrup and crumbs can be discarded.)
Put ice, Kahlua, Frangelico, creme de cacao and milk in blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into prepared glasses.
Using cook's torch, toast skewered marshmallows until golden brown. Garnish drinks with marshmallows.
Makes 6 servings.
