While enjoying an evening with family, hanging around the bonfire and eatin’ s’mores last night, we came across one problem. No more gram crackers, AND all out of Hershey’s chocolate! But hey, no worries. How about this? A nice crispy, roasted marshmellow with substituted Reece’s Pieces chips all sandwitched between two Saltine crackers. Oh, and a tall mug of [...]
