S is for S'Mores

Still trying to keep it simple to keep Jocie interested and not overwhelm her too much. Today was a perfect day for that! She was in a great mood and more than ready to try some food fun. S'Mores were on the agenda!

We used Toasted Marshmallow Cream to give them more of a 'campfire like' taste. I let the kiddos spread their own Marshmallow onto graham crackers. This was great not only because I knew they would get a little 'messy' but also because they would have to use both hands to spread it on- one to spread the other to hold the cracker steady- something both of them really need to work on! They did great! Next, we added little squares of chocolate. I then put them in the microwave for a few seconds to soften them a little

Jocie's face said it all! She LOVED them. They were a little hard for her to eat together like a 'real' s'more, so she opened up the top and ate the bottom with all the GOOD stuff on it! She then decided it would be better to just dip chocolate into some of the marshmallow cream. She loved that part the most!

Mew was not sure about eating it sandwiched together. He opened his up after one bite and took out the chocolate (is he really my child?!?! haha) He decided it was best to just lick off all of the marshmallow, so that is what he did.

When they finished they were sticky and gooey but HAPPY!
