So BAMBI says to me the other day "Wednesday is National S'mores day - we should do something to celebrate!" If you haven't figured out yet, this girl has a serious chocolate thing going on.I wasn't sure, but I checked it out. Turns out she is right - today is National S'mores Day and you are welcome to celebrate along with us! We decided that since this summer has been really kind of extra hot and sticky we would try to keep things cool, so we decided on making a S'mores sundae!
We started with vanilla ice cream - because it is the perfect platform for building most sundaes. Then we got out our s'mores ingredients, marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers.
I put some graham crackers in a small plastic bag and broke them up until I had some crumbs, but some larger bits as well. I also kept out some larger quarters of cracker to use as a topper for the sundae. Then I chopped up some large marshmallows - which is trickier than it sounds. The outsides of marshmallows are easy to handle, but their insides can get really sticky really quickly. One trick when cutting something that can get really sticky is to coat the knife you are using in something like non-stick cooking spray or vegetable oil to keep the sticky stuff from sticking to your knife.
These sundaes turned out great - and were a super-tasty to celebrate National S'mores Day. How you celebrate today! Did you go off the beaten path like we did, or did you stay to the tried and true method of toasting marshmallows and making the sandwich yourself? Let me know in the comments below or on Facebook!
