S'more Bars

Last Friday I had some friends over for a back yard campout in our tent. But then the forecast predicted rain, so that cancelled a campfire and worse, no s’mores!!! Instead I made s’more bars :-) Good thing to because it did rain. In case you are curious, we did sleep outside, in our pop-up camper. And instead of night games and campfire, we ran around my neighborhood jumping in puddles. All in all it was a great night with an amazing gooey treat.

Would I make them again…
 Y.E.S they tasted just like the real deal and I didn’t have to worry about starting my marshmallows on fire or getting really sticky fingers. However, even with how delicious they were, they can’t replace the experiences and memories of making s’mores.
