How do you eat your smore?

Smores: graham crackers surrounding melted chocolate and a toasted marshmallow. Often thought of as a campfire dessert, this sweet treat is often used by moms all year round. Using the microwave to melt the chocolate and the marshmallow you can create a smore that is almost but not quite as good as the original.

This evening I took care of 6 children while my sister and her hubby went on a date. After making and cutting waffles for 6 children I proceeded to make smores using the microwave method. Although designed to be enjoyed as one smooth bite of all 3 ingredients children often enjoy their food in a variety of ways. Here were the results:


Aubrie immediately took off the graham crackers and smeared her chocolate and marshmallow together and then licked her fingers over and over until everything but the graham cracker was eaten.



Iain took 2 bites of his smore and immediately began to complain about sticky hands. So much for that dessert.

Kyle being almost 9 ate his smore like an adult, until he declared it was too sweet and made him sick and then left to go and take a shower. Hmm...

Teags was a disaster! Let me say again, DISASTER...she tried her smore in every way possible. Together, apart, mixed, licked, until is was all gone. I love her zest for eating.

Rhia who is not fond of messiness chose not to have a smore at all, but rather some ice cream. :-)

So when you have a smore, how to you eat it?
