Today: Stick it.
You’re either going to thank me or curse me for this one, but honestly, I couldn’t keep this dessert to myself. S’mores. On a stick. Yes, really. I love coming up with really good/really bad ideas.
It will take you no longer than 5 minutes to whip up a few of these little guys, and you’ll only need four simple ingredients, including the stick. Break out the marshmallows, dark chocolate, and graham crackers. A few easy steps and boom! You’re the most popular person in the room.
- Grind down graham crackers in your food processor (or crush them by hand, or with a rolling pin, in a plastic bag)
- Melt dark chocolate and stir
- Stick your marshmallows… on a stick
- Dip the ‘mallows into piping hot melted chocolate and roll in crushed graham crackers
- Set on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cool in the refrigerator before serving
I brought a batch to the Cape this weekend for my family’s 2nd of July celebration (they travel well in a vase), and a second batch for our post-race 4th of July cookout today. If I could justify making a third batch for tomorrow, I would. I’m working on it.
We had a fabulous Fourth– a great (hot and sweaty) race at Patriot Place, lots of pool time and cooking out at my parents’ house, gorgeous weather, and fabulous company… complete with Clark’s favorite pug, Murphy :). I can’t think of a better way to celebrate America’s birthday. I wish it could be summer forever.
Also On Tap for Today:

OOOH! Those smores on a stick look delicious! I think you should whip up a batch and bring them to the Food Swap this weekend 😉

🙂 I am hoping to make it to a food swap soon– such a fun idea! Unfortunately, I can’t make it this weekend, but I have a feeling these s’mores will be making many appearances this summer! Hope you had a great 4th!
