If you're like me, SUMMER is for swimming, grilling, and sitting around a campfire roasting marshmallows. But, if you're like me, you don't always have the luxury of a clear night to go to the lake with your family... So not wanting to miss out, we decided to have a few mock camp outs in the living room.
The other night we made SMORES {using those cute square marshmallows}, electric candle light {safe for the lil man}, and marshmallow sticks... Marshmallow sticks? Yes- just alternated the square marshmallows with mini assorted flavored ones and stuck them on lollipop sticks for the kids to "roast". They looked cute on their picnic blanket {one of their dad's old Army blankets}, pretending to roast 'shmallows.
I was looking forward to making these. I looked around but found nothing that was no-bake for making SMORES BALLS and I even checked the two best *cake ballers* around {unless I was blinded from them by their other awesome goodness}. But yeah,the only ones I found were using cake instead of graham crackers {which does not make it have a real Smores quality, at least in my opinion}... they are still good I am sure- but I wanted graham crackers!!!
So I decided to do these just like I did with my Oreo No-Bake Cake Balls {see the link for the recipe}. Substitute GRAHAM CRACKERS for the Oreos {crushed} and mold your ball around a mini marshmallow. After you let it chill, dip it in your bark and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers.
SO YUMMY and super cute! {oh and no messy chocolate goo on my carpet- ha}

Great idea! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the amount of graham crackers that equal the oreo's you are replacing in the recipe? Thanks for the great idea, can't wait to try them! Moonpie
ReplyDeleteI used 1/2 box of graham crackers and added more as needed (not too many b/c the grahams have no filling like the Oreos, so they were dryer). You want it pliable to work with, at least, and then as moist as you'd like- will depend on adding more frosting, or dryer- more grahams. But start with half a box. And start with 1/4 frosting and go from there. Sorry- I have no real measurements for these. ;)
