We've made it no secret that we love Smore's around here. We've made Cookies, Croissants, Unique Bites, a Giant Smore Cake, and even a round-up of 12 Unique Smore Recipes. Today, we're doing yet another recipe, Smore Quesadillas! The girls LOVED these and they are ridiculously easy to make. You only need three ingredients! Mini marshmallows Milk chocolate chocolate chips Tortillas 1) Put one tortilla in a heated frying pan 2) Sprinkle with chocolate chips and marshmallows 3) Top with another tortilla 4) When the chocolate chips begin to melt, flip the whole thing over 5) Let it melt a little more and then remove from the heat 6) Cut into 4 sections (a pizza cutter works great for this!) 7) Serve immediately (Excuse the horrible photo above, I tried to snap a photo of the girls eating these put my camera battery died so I had to use my cell phone) If done correctly, these smores quesadillas are just as messy, if not messier, than the … [Read more...]

Smore’s Cake
Last week I wrote a post about Nutty's camping birthday party. In that post I told you that her giant smore's cake needed a post of it's own. Now you'll know why... As I said in my previous post, this cake took me two days to make, was a little hard, and wasn't very practical but it looked awesome and the girls loved it. The real instructions on how to make this giant smore's cake can be found on Not Just A Housewife. I won't steel her post. I will, however, tell you how making my cake went... Unlike the original cake, I started out making two vanilla cakes. I surprised myself on how well they turned out (i.e. I got them out of the pan without ruining them). I also surprised myself on how I was able to level them (no photo, sorry). Between my cake layers I put marshmallow fluff creme. This is where my first problems came in. The chocolate chips melted just fine but I quickly realized I didn't have a cookie sheet quite as large as I wanted. Oh well, my round pizza sheet … [Read more...]
Unique Smore’s Bites
Smore's treats are all the rage on Pinterest. People seem to love Smore's! In fact, this isn't the first Smore's treat our blog has made. Remember our Gimme Smore Cookies and Smore's Croissants? Well, this is yet another version of this tasty American treat. These came as an idea to me when I was craving a Smore's type treat but didn't have the "proper" ingredients. Ok, so I had chocolate and marshmallows but no grahm crackers. Plus my marshmallows were mini and my chocolate was chips, not exactly right for making Smore's...I looked through my cupboards and found Vanilla Wafer Cookies--perfect! Here's what you'll need to make your own Unique Smore's Bites: Vanilla Wafer Cookies Peanut Butter Chocolate Chips Mini Marshmallows Microwave Step 1) Spread peanut butter on the flat side of the cookies. (We tried these without peanut butter but everything kept falling off the cookies so we added peanut butter to help things stay in place.) Step 2) Put one … [Read more...]
S’mores Croissants
My girls LOVE to eat s'mores but don't always like the mess of the sticky marshmallows. Plus, we live in Minnesota and campfires are not an option in the winter. Here's our version of s'mores that's a little less messy and super easy to make when campfires are not available. You'll need: Chocolate Chips Mini Marshmallows A Tube of Croissants/Crescent Rolls Optional stuff such as peanut butter, caramel, bananas, raspberries, strawberries... Step 1) Separate the croissants and lay them out flat on a baking sheet. Step 2) Put chocolate chips and mini marshmallows on the fat side of the croissant. Add any optional ingredients. Try not to overfill it. For these photos we used chocolate/peanut butter chips and mini marshmallows only. I have made these in the past with the optional ingredients and they are super yummy (especially the ones with the caramel and peanut butter!). Step 3) Roll up the croissants making sure that your ingredients do not fall out. If … [Read more...]
