teeny tiny s'mores ...

One of my little ladybug's favorite treats is her subscription to American Girl magazine. Though it only comes 6 times a year, it's always filled with good ole' wholesome fun and she can't wait to dive right into all of the articles and projects. So guess what arrived in today's mail?


In this issue, there was a cute piece on making 'tiny treats' and, having a passion for all things miniature, my little ladybug was instantly smitten. After scooping the 'recipe' for miniature ice cream servings by using a melon baller, she set her sights on the miniature s'mores. Since big ladybug had her first day of sailing camp, off we went to collect our 3 ingredients:

Golden Grahams cereal pieces instead of the graham cracker, a single chocolate chip instead of the Hershey bar, and a single mini marshmallow. Just lay the cereal out on a microwave safe plate, half the pieces get a mini marshmallow on top and the other half get a chocolate chip:


Microwave for about 10-12 seconds and then squish the warmed halves together to make your teeny tiny s'mores!


This endeavor was way too sweet and simple to let go undocumented ... thought I'd pass it along to anyone whose little ladybugs adore miniatures as much much as mine do!
Bon Appetit!

We are huge AG fans over this way, too! The founder used to write reading program for Addison Wesley, a publishing company my Daddy used to work for ... it was called the Super Kids and was FABULOUS!! I still remember learning to read with this program (and it's still around, too). Anyway, AG is just such the perfect thing for little girls. We've not tried the mini s'mores, but they just might be the perfect thing for a celebration this 4th! Waaaaay to cute (and delicious!) to pass up. Thanks for sharing!
