Middle-Class Martha: Smores get a makeover!

Smores get a makeover!

It recently became clear to Middle-Class Martha that traditional Smores needed a little tweeking. We had a lovely weekend at the Lake. Lots of games, fishing and ending with a fire bowl on the "beach." The kids LOVE Smores, so my job was to prepare the graham cracker and chocolate bar for the next incoming marshmallow. I attempted this task in the dark with 3 Boys taking turns, landing semi-flaming marshmallows in my lap, while I "tried" to keep the chocolate bar balanced on the graham cracker. This left me saying "NOMORE" instead of "SMORE!" It was soon clear this traditional process needed a little makeover.

NEW and Improved SMORES:
The following recipes are Tres Sucre Chocolatiere Original Recipes.

Graham Crackers broken into squares
