Scream For It! S'more Ice Cream Sandwiches

What happens when you replace the fire in s'mores with ice?

What happens when you replace the fire in s'mores with ice? You end up with s'mores ice cream sandwiches! This awesome recipe takes the campfire classic and turns it into an ice box treat. I made the ice cream from scratch, but if you don't have an ice cream maker simply use your favorite brand of vanilla ice cream.

Get started on this frozen treat a day before you want to serve it because you'll need time for the ice cream mixture to set. If you're a fan of the classic chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker combination, you will love this dessert. When I served them at a recent party, they got rave reviews! They would be the perfect finish to a Fourth of July barbecue, so check out the recipe now.

Savory Sight: S'mores Anyone?

We say, "Yes please" to anhela's scrumptious looking Reese's peanut butter cup s'mores!Tis the season for all things Fall!  And in our family, that means camping in the North GA and TN mountains... We love our s'mores, but we *really love them with Reese's peanut butter cups!  We melted them onto the graham crackers by sitting them to the side of the fire while we toasted our marshmallows to perfection.  So tasty!

Come Party With Me: Movie in the Park — Dessert

When I thought about the finish to a movie night in the park, s'mores immediately came to mind.

When I thought about the finish to a movie night in the park, s'mores immediately came to mind. However, proper s'mores involve a campfire, which is definitely not allowed in the park for movie night. Then I considered s'mores cupcakes, but without a cupcake carrier, the miniature cakes are hard to transport. I was just about to give up on the idea when I came across this recipe for s'mores cookies! The base of the cookie is a mixture of rolled oats and whole wheat flour. This is topped with a chocolate square and a large marshmallow. What a clever recipe, right? It's perfect for the park, the beach, the lake, or even a lunch box, so get the easy recipe now.

Come Party With Me: End of Summer BBQ — Desserts

I just realized that the entire Summer has almost passed and I have not enjoyed one s'more!

I just realized that the entire Summer has almost passed and I have not enjoyed one s'more! Before the long warm nights are replaced with Fall's cool evenings, I must make s'mores. What better time to do it than at my end of Summer barbecue?! After all s'mores, the gooey, finger-licking good combination of graham crackers, melted chocolate, and toasted marshmallows, are a classic American dessert. While I could simply purchase the ingredients at the store, I'm taking the nostalgic campfire treat to a whole new level with homemade marshmallows and graham crackers. To look at the recipe I'll be using — thanks Martha! — read more

Can You Burn Off Those S'mores?

One thing I love about camping and backpacking is that you stay very active, from pitching tents to building fires to hiking.

One thing I love about camping and backpacking is that you stay very active, from pitching tents to building fires to hiking. So I don't have to feel guilty about enjoying a few s'mores.

Of course, lounging around the campfire isn't going to burn off those calories, but a few good old-fashioned camping activities will. Take my quiz to find out how much you have to work to feel better about those choco-marshmallow treats. (All calorie calculations are based on a 130-pound woman.)

Lil Treasures: S'mores by Candlelight

Winter weather is approaching and when you find yourself rained or snowed in with the kids, make the most of it.

Winter weather is approaching and when you find yourself rained or snowed in with the kids, make the most of it. A friend of mine came up with an ingenious way to enjoy s'mores and all their deliciousness without a campfire, barbecue or even a fire place.

All you need is a pack of graham crackers, a bag of marshmallows, some chocolate squares, a few water soaked skewers, and a tea light. The soft flame of the small votive candle is a controlled heat that makes warming the marshmallows much safer when small hands are involved. Best of all, it takes just a few minutes to make the gooey treats so you have more time to enjoy them with your lil ones.
