Typical S’mores No More

Posted on July 29, 2012 by Particular Girl

It’s was a Saturday night, and a beautiful Michigan evening. It was hot earlier and the temperature cooled down comfortably.

Now you know I don’t do anything ordinary, even when it comes to S’mores. The kids were patiently waiting for our fire to die down to the perfect marshmallow cooking temperature. ( I love her smirk here, she’s such a character!) We like to experiment with different combinations. Here’s our latest list of things to pick from:

Hershey’s Bars
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Kit Kat Bars
Graham Crackers
Keebler Fudge Stripe Cookies
Shortbread Cookies

The first one is Shortbread cookies with Reese’s Cups.
The second is Fudge Strip cookies with Hershey’s.

What combinations have you tried that we’re either a hit or a bust?

Camper Cooking

My camper came with an oven, but it’s just for looks. It burns everything and it’s not due to user error I found these great campsite creations that I wanted to share that require no oven.

Campfire Cones via Chef Jessica Bright I think Marshmallos, Chocolate, Peanuts and Hot Fudge would be great and after it’s cooked, add a small scoop of ice cream on top.

Three Cheese Potatoes via Taste of Home These look fantastic just as they are!

Grilled Pierogies and Kielbasa via Hot To Simplify I’m not crazy about the mustard sauce in the recipe but love the idea of grilling them. Add some kielebasa and it’s a great meal.
