S’mores have been associated with camping for years but did it ever cross your mind to make them at home?  Me either, until my mom made them for my family while visiting recently.  It had been forever since my last s’mores encounter and my first time seeing little man devour one.  It had to be the most adorable thing ever.  To hear him saying, “mmm, mmm” was priceless.  And watching his fingers get sticky with marshmallow and him trying to lick it off was so much fun.

Since my mom was kind of enough to send home a S’mores Maker with us, I wanted to relive those precious moments with the little guy and my husband because I knew he hadn’t ate a S’mores treat in forever.  Big hit again!

My S’more’s Maker only does one at a time but you can get one that makes two. I would like that a lot and it’s cute to boot!  Looks like little hands are holding the S’mores down.

How do you make a S’mores?

You’ll need:

• Graham Crackers
• Marshmallows
• Chocolate (We used the Hershey’s Chocolate Bar)

Be creative and try Reese’s or white chocolate. Have fun with it!

You simply layer a graham cracker, your chocolate piece, and a big marshmallow.  Place in your S’mores Maker and microwave for 20 second. YUM!

OVER TO YOU!

I would love to hear your S’mores stories or recipes!  And do you have one of these makers at home?  Do you only make them outside or do you have some other creative way for making them?

BAHAHAHHAHAHAHA…gotcha huh!  Oh….I SO crack myself up.

So my SIL read my Hershey’s post and was inspired to use some Hershey’s chocolate that she had handy in her own pantry!  You know, cookies are really easy to make, each batch usually makes a lot, and they’re always hit with everyone!

Anyways, this post here was submitted by my ever so lovely, very humorous, beautiful SIL!  What?  You never know when I might need something eh???  heehee

You can’t do any baking without the help of Hershey’s…from chocolate chip cookies to swiss mousse cake using Hershey’s cocoa, I always keep several of their products handy in my kitchen.  To get you in the baking mood this holiday season, I have a delicious recipe for you, as well as a surprise!

First up, let get to the recipe.

No-Bake Chocolate Cake Roll

Combine one four-serving sized package of vanilla instant pudding mix and two tablespoons of Hershey’s Cocoa in a small bowl. Add one cup of milk and beat on low speed until smooth and thickened. Fold in one cup of thawed whipped topping, blending well. Spread one tablespoon of pudding mixture onto each chocolate wafer in a nine-ounce package, and place wafers together in stacks of four or five. On foil, stand wafers on edge to make one long roll. Wrap tightly and refrigerate five-to-six hours.  Sift one tablespoon of Hershey’s Cocoa over 2-1/2 cups of thawed whipped topping, and blend well. Unwrap the refrigerated chocolate wafer roll and place it on a serving tray. Spread whipped topping mixture over the entire roll. Remove wrappers from Hershey’s Hugs Chocolates and Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates and place on the roll to garnish. To serve, slice diagonally at a 45-degree angle. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.
