that's a wrap

Since we woke up to a blanket of snow this morning in Connecticut and the kids are home from school I thought I would feature this s'more themed gift basket for our Wednesday "that's a wrap" feature.  We have some friends who recently built and outside fireplace.  For Christmas we gave them a cooler filled with the ingredients for s'mores along with a cozy monogrammed blanket.  On top we attached a metal marshmallow branch for roasting multiple marshmallows at the same time.  I love the orange and blue color combination and think this would make a lovely gift year round. 

s'more treats

Here is one last Easter treat that I thought I would share.  I found some pastel, bunny shaped marshmallows.  I dipped them in chocolate and then graham cracker crumbs and stuck them on a lollipop stick.  You could package each one in a cellophane bag and tie with ribbon for a great favor or dessert for the holiday this weekend.  Also darling for a baby shower! 

ho, ho, hostess gift

We had another really busy and fun weekend.  I was invited to two different houses and wanted to bring a dessert and gift to both so I made these delicious and easy s'more cups and put them on a white ruffled cake stand.  I tied the whole thing up with some cellophane and personalized ribbon and had a yummy dessert and hostess gift in one.  I also went with my mom and daughter to see the Nutcracker.  It was magical and a favorite tradition.  Hope you weekend was filled with friends, family and lots of love too.

inside out s'mores

This weekend we were invited to a last minute get together at a friend's house to enjoy a night by their fire pit.  I saw this fun recipe for inside out s'mores and thought it would be perfect for this occasion.  Basically you just stuff the center of an over sized marshmallow with chocolate and graham crackers.  I put them in a mason jar and simply tied some raffia and a bandanna printed paper tag around the outside.  I loved that they were easy to make and the kids thought that they were pretty fun too.  I think next time I may try putting a mini candy bar inside.  Yum!  If I had had more time and/or all of the ingredients I would have whipped up a batch of S'more martini's to bring too.  Hope you had a sweet weekend filled with good friends & fun too.
