S’mores make the happiest campers. And I do like having happy campers in my house.
This summer has been long. LONG. And, to be honest, I’m running out of fun things to do. So when I have the chance to do something easy AND fun that Annalyn loves?
I am all over it.
Over the past few months I’ve made several S’mores-flavored desserts, and Annalyn has helped me with most of them. But my little cook has never been as happy as when I stacked up graham crackers, Hershey chocolate and one big marshmallow.
If you promise to ignore the very messy dining room, I’ve got a little treat for you:
“S’mores, S’mores, S’mores. I love S’mores.”
I promise, I did not pay her to sing that little song. She’s just so darned cute, all on her own!
I know the phrase is, “If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.” But honestly? In our world if the willful child isn’t happy, nobody’s happy. And this summertime treat, the S’mores? They made her one happy camper.

I think my favorite thing to do for summer is to take a marshmallow, roast it and eat it in a Reeeses peanut butter cup sandwich instead of chocolate and graham crackers. :) Messy…. yes!
Favorite has to be fresh fruit – especially strawberries!
I love summer because we break out the homemade ice cream maker. People who come to our house in the summer always ask if we have homemade ice cream made…and we usually do!
I love watermelon.
strawberry shortcake. yum. with lots of whipped topping :-}
my favorite is my sis’s rhubarb crisp thanks
watermelon
I love ice cream all year round, but especially summertime, and I LOVE s’mores too!
I like peach cobbler made with fresh, local peaches.
Watermelon.
Or sherbet.
Do I really have to choose?
I would have said even if the post wasnt’t about it….that and homemade bing cherry ice cream :)
ice cream. but to be honest, we enjoy it – too much – all year round. i have an ice cream maker, but have NOT used it yet! :(
Ice cream! Then again I love ice cream just about anytime of the year!
Ice cream is my favorite summer treat. Followed closely by s’mores of course.
I really like tomatoes. I know they aren’t a ‘treat’, but homegrown tomatoes are to me! Of course, a lemon berry slush from Sonic is also quite lovely :)
