We have been sucking the life out of our Memorial Day weekend. It's been fabulous.
Last night, we had a cookout, complete with our first official firepit and s'mores of the summer.
yummmmm...
While we were at the grocery store shopping for supplies, we decided to try a new idea and go for an "Ultimate" S'more. We usually buy just marshmallows and fudge stripe cookies. The cookies already have chocolate on them, so you don't have to buy separate graham crackers and chocolate. So easy. I can't thank our friends Lauren and Lacie enough for teaching us that trick.
So, as for our "fancy" s'mores... we bought a back of York Peppermint Patties (a snack pack with 8), graham crackers, and marshmallows. Then, we put them together, wrapped them in foil,
and put them on the grill for 5-10 minutes.
They. were. heaven.
Everything melted way more than if we had roasted the marshmallows over the firepit, and the Yorks got all melty and yummy. Even those who weren't convinced that the peppermint was the way to go, loved them.
Next? Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.
Then, we let the kids go to town on our the standard roasted marshmallow-cookie s'mores.
Fun times.
