Face-smashing goodness for the week ahead

To celebrate the end of school, and then lift our spirits because of the fact that it has rained nearly every. single. day. in June so far, we baked.  Because in my world, that's just how we celebrate.  (And grieve.)  Wanna make these goodies too? Read on.

First, we made delicious and easy, home-made graham crackers.  You can get the recipe here. (Martha Stewart is a genius.  I don't know if I've mentioned that before, but she is.) 

I don't know if I've also ever mentioned the fact that I'm pretty much addicted to s'mores.  I have? Oh.

Well anyway.
Home-made graham crackers kind of bump up the s'more a notch.  Intervention may soon be required.

I haven't been eating much chocolate. Or sugar.  I was having really bad headaches during the winter, and giving up sugar (and peanut butter cups- sob!) really seems to help with that.  But I'm willing to make an exception for these babies.

Do marshmallows make anyone else out there happy?  I don't really enjoy eating plain marshmallows.  But just looking at them in all their puffy, white, sugary goodness is enough. 

Okay, let's begin.  Once your graham crackers are cooled... (I chose to cut mine into rounds)

Smear some melted chocolate chips over half of them. 

Then place a single marshmallow on each of the other halves and microwave them for about 30 seconds, or until they puffed up a bit.

Then, immediately place a chocolate sided graham on top and gently squish down.  You get the idea.

Once the chocolate is set, dip the edge in the remaining chocolate, and sprinkles.

Then give these babies a test drive, by serving them to your favorite hoodlums.  Hello hoodlums.  Today, you happen to be my favorites.  Ha!

See if they like them...

I'm betting they do... (Please ignore the strange flower sitting perched atop my daughter's uncombed hair.  We home school.)

Now take that extra chocolate, skewer a few leftover marshmallows, dip them, and sprinkle them...

And leave them out for your man.  

I don't know what it is about men, but they love to eat things on sticks.  In case you weren't aware.

Lastly, I am guest posting here, Tuesday, and I'll be offering a fun little giveaway,  here on my blog Tuesday, so be sure to pop back in for the fun!
