HI, I just came to your blog from PW… anyway I saw your smores and I have to tell you to try this…
Ritz Cracker
Marshmallow
Kraft Caramel
Chocolate
Ritz Cracker
I don’t buy graham crackers anymore and I turned into a Ritz smore snob. Even if we don’t have the caramel I still have my smores with Ritz rather than graham.
Try it!
cathy – welcome! and I can’t wait to give this a try – VERY intriguing and it sounds delish…thanks!
and thanks to everyone for posting menus…you guys are the best!
