We hope that this Recipe link is useful to you all! Now that the Summer Holidays have officially begun, here are some fun ways to enjoy every bodies favorite summer time treat - S'mores!
Nothing really can beat a classic S'more that consists of: a graham cracker, a fire roasted marshmallow, and a decent sized chunk of chocolate. It has been my experience however, that we always, without fail... run out of chocolate. And usually before we've even managed to roast a single marshmallow! It's the strangest thing! No matter how much chocolate I come prepared with - it just disappears and we are left with plain old marshmallows and crackers. (Would you believe me if I blamed that on the kids?) We've recently begun using Nutella in place of chocolate bars, and here's why. Kids, (ok and parents to) can't eat it all up with one bite, it spreads easy, and you can slather as much of that stuff on as you'd like. That means MORE CHOCOLATE!!! (The yummy hint of hazelnut doesn't hurt either!)
Another fun S'more twist that we enjoy comes in the form of these delicious S'more Cookies! They are easy to make, taste like an actual s'more, AND your kids won't smell like Campfire after eating them! (see the baking instructions below)
