Week of Recipes--Day 3

S'mores Party

We invited some friends over for a fire in our backyard fire pit and we created a "s'mores buffet". It was kind of a disaster because it was hotter than you-know-where, but the idea was a success...

There are 3 parts to a s'more: base, chocolate, and marshmallow. We had several options in each category.

Base: graham crackers, chocolate chip cookies, vanilla wafers (for mini s'mores)

Chocolate: Hershey bars, peanut butter cups, peppermint patties, and a jar of Nutella

Marshmallow: regular-size white mallows, regular-size chocolate mallows, and the giant Campfire brand "Roasters", which are about the size of 4 regular marshmallows.

We also had "man s'mores", which were summer sausage, cheddar, and Ritz crackers.

Our kids liked the chocolate marshmallows best, especially when paired with peanut butter cups. I liked graham-Nutella the best, as well as just dipping vanilla wafers in the Nutella jar! Sam ate a lot of man s'mores--sweets are not his thing :)

So if you feel inclined, set out a few marshmallow sticks and throw yourself a party!
