Happy National S'mores Day!
August 10th
One of my favorite things to do, as well as my kid's and hubby is camping, and s'mores are a favorite campsite treat that we all look forward too at night around our campfire! Unfortunately, we are not camping today on National S'mores Day... bummer... but we will still be celebrating this evening by roasting some marshmallows over our outdoor campfire pit and making some s'mores anyway! If your kids like s'mores, then hopefully you and your kids will be able to celebrate today as well with either a s'more or a s'more inspired treat!
If you are not able to make a s'more today, here are some other s'more inspired foods and drinks that you and your kids can try as well today! Our local Winchester 0-60 Energy Cafe offers s'mores lattes as well as s'mores grilled donuts! Yumm! Starbucks has a seasonal drink S'mores Frappuccino® Blended Coffee , Pillsbury makes a Pillsbury™ Melts Ready to Bake!™ S'more Sensation Filled Cookies that you can bake in your oven, Kellogg's Pop-Tarts Frosted S'mores , S'Mores Ice Cream like Great Value S'Mores Ice Cream, and Sheetz has a Marshmallow Madness Frappucinno.
How to make S'mores:
