S’mores and Instant Apple Pie Snacks: Easy as 1-2-3

Here are two quick, easy, and delicious snacks for after-school and all summer long! Kids will also love making these too.

S’mores

You don’t need a campfire to make these S’mores – and they’re so easy!

grahamIngredients:

  • Graham Cracker squares
  • Marshmallows (regular-size are easier than minis for this)
  • Hershey’s Kisses candies (unwrapped)

Directions:

  1. Place marshmallow on graham cracker square and microwave or place under broiler in conventional oven until soft (but not completely melted – they will continue to melt when removed)
  2. Place a Hershey Kiss in the center of the warm marshmallow.

Allow to cool and enjoy!
