One of our absolutely favorite parts of living in Indiana is the ability we have to have a backyard fire anytime we want to! That means S'mores anytime we want to!
It's become a staple of our spring/summer/fall get togethers. I think my kids would do it in the winter too if I'd let them (but I'm so cold by nature there's no way I'm going out in the backyard in the winter.)
We've always done the traditional s'mores with marshmallows, milk chocolate, and graham crackers...but recently I ran out of milk chocolate. (Yes, it occasionally happens in this house of chocolate that we live in.) We were scrambling to come up with something else to use...so I grabbed some of the left over candy in my Candy Bucket.
We grabbed Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Hershey mini bars (Krackle and Mr Goodbars were all that was left), and a large Cookies and Creme candy bar. Then by accident, I found that I had purchased the cinnamon flavored Graham crackers. At first I thought "Crap!", but it was one of those spur of the moment S'mores bars, so we went with it anyway.
The consensus was they were the BEST S'mores we've ever made!
Who knew?
So don't be afraid to give your S'mores a little spice. Next time, look outside the traditional candy bars when you are picking up the essentials...you may just be surprised and amazed!
Totally a highlight of summer.
