In a bind, one can be very creative. Last night, I witnessed a flash of creativity (and brilliance, I might add); my son needed dessert, and he found a solution to the lack of sweets in our house. My little boy has a sweet tooth, but really, should that be a huge surprise to anyone? Don't most children have at least a teeny, tiny bit of a sweet tooth? In a desperate craving for something sweet, he took it upon himself to create this fun, tasty and easy dessert. After watching him go through the cupboards to see what he could find, I suddenly saw a glimmer in his eye when he shouted out, "S'mores, I can make s'mores!" Up to this point in his life, we have always made s'mores on a campfire at the lake. But I tell you, this little boy was on a mission and he was going to have himself (and treat the rest of us as well) some s'mores.
I have put his recipe here, with his permission, of course (and only 3 ingredients).
We call it "Campfire Not Necessary S'mores":
- 1 bag of mini marshmallows
- Nutella
- Graham crackers, broken in two parts
- Spread a nice layer (or just glob it on) of Nutella onto both halves of the graham cracker
- Place several mini marshmallows onto one half
- Place one half of the graham cracker onto the marshmallow side and you have yourself a tasty treat to curb that sweet tooth after dinner.
It really was a nice finish to dinner, and there was no gooey mess to scrape off of fingers. We all enjoyed them so much that he decided that he is going to take a plate down to a neighbor who is hosting a dinner party this evening. Fingers crossed that we have a chef in the making!!
