{s'mores galore}

Summertime at our house is all about the s'mores.  We have a campfire in our backyard at least once a week, but it's usually more. Sitting around a fire, roasting marshmallows, enjoying the dark of the night and light of the fire, all while chatting with family and friends...it's perfection.

We've tried them many different ways, and each of us have a favorite.  For some, it's the tried and true traditional s'more--graham crackers layered with a toasted marshmallow and yummy chocolate squares.  My husband loves using Reeses PB cups instead of the chocolate squares, and it is FABULOUS.  If you haven't tried it yet, you simply must. Rolos are yummy too, and so are Snickers. :)

We also like making Poor Man S'mores, which are perfect for traveling, camping, and feeding a crowd.


A fun alternative is S'mores on a Stick.


These are SO easy!  Just dip in chocolate, and roll in graham cracker crumbs.  Refrigerate until set. You can actually do it one of two ways--ahead of time, using marshmallows right out of the bag, OR you can toast them outside, and have the bowl of chocolate ready to dip into.  YUMMY either way!


And finally, for those of you are like me, and don't like the graham but love the chocolate with marshmallow...

Just toast a marshmallow and put it between two chocolate peanut butter cookies!
(and yes, I'm too impatient to toast the marshmallows, mine are always burned!)


Now I'm hungry.

I like them with reese's in place of the chocolate and chewy chocolate chip cookies in place of the graham...very rich, but oh so good!
Have you tried roasted starbursts?
