I LOVE smores!!! My favorite way to make them is with the fudge striped cookies and a fire roasted marshmallow. A while back I kept seeing recipes for smores cookies and thought "I've got to make those!" But I never did.
Well, I recently bought several boxes of Golden Grahams cereal because between the sale price and my coupons they were 75 cents a box. This morning after popping a handful of cereal in my mouth, I realized how easy it would be to make some Smores Treat bars.
We have tried the pre-made Golden Graham cereal bars before, but they were pretty gross. My kids wouldn't even eat them!
But I figured a marshmallow base and bits of chocolate would by yummy!
And it really was! Okay, so after some thought I realized this was probably not a new concept (turns out there are several recipes out there for this kind of thing.) But if your tired of the same old rice crispy squares, try substituting Golden Grahams and tossing in small chunks of chocolate bar (wait until marshmallow goo has cooled a few minutes so the chocolate doesn't melt.)
My kids still weren't too hip on this treat...not quite sure why...so I guess I'll have to take them to a neighbor so I don't eat them all!!!
Real Mom's Dinner: 5 Buck Pizza...It's Friday and my DH is going to be gone to a business dinner. Ugh!
