One minute the usual midwestern chill is flowing through the air and then next thing we know, we’re wrapped up in a humid fog! Since summer is quickly approaching, as cued by Memorial Day Weekend, we’ve decided it’s the perfect time to share our favorite summer night treats that children and adults alike will love!
Give Me ‘S’more’
We’re taking a beloved summer tradition and giving it a fun spin! For s’more bites, here’s everything you’ll need to grab and how to bake it.
Ingredients:
Graham cracker crumbs- either store bought or DIY
Butter
Powdered sugar
Marshmallows
Reese’s mini peanut butter cups or Hershey bars
Mini muffin or cupcake pan (24 count total)
Directions:
Mix together the ingredients for the crust (butter, graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar).
Place chocolate or Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup in each cup. Top with half of a marshmallow.
Place in oven on broil and watch them like a hawk! You will just want them to brown about 1-2 minutes. They will burn so don’t take your eyes off of them.
