I learned this morning that today is National S’mores Day. \u00a0August 10, every year. \u00a0How could I have missed that? \u00a0Since we had all the main ingredients in the kitchen, I could hardly resist. \u00a0I have seen several recipes for s’mores bars around the internet and thought that would be a fun way to mix it up since we can’t exactly build a fire in our back yard. \u00a0We didn’t have all the ingredients for any one recipe, so we kind of made it up as we went along – the girls did most of the hard work while I took photos \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Molly crunched up some graham crackers.

Megan sliced up the big marshmallows we had into smaller pieces.

Then they mixed the crushed up graham crackers into some melted butter. \u00a0I also added a little salt and some sugar, but after tasting them, I think we could have done without the sugar.

Molly buttered the pan.

Then we pressed the graham cracker crumbly mess into the bottom of the pan. \u00a0Molly had the bright idea of using Nutella. \u00a0Since we only had a little bit left, I thought “Why not?” \u00a0On top of the Nutella they scattered about half a bag of chocolate chunks. \u00a0Then they arranged the marshmallows on top.

We had set aside a little of the graham cracker crumb mixture to sprinkle over the top. \u00a0Here they are jockeying to see who can do sprinkle more of it.

We baked them for about 20 minutes till they got nice and toasty brown on top.

I let them cool for a bit, and then we cut into them. \u00a0They were hard to cut because they were so sticky – I think refrigerating them would have helped a lot, but there wasn’t time for that before bedtime. \u00a0Two happy girls:
