Smores Snacks

While we were at Walgreens, waiting on the prescriptions Thade spotted Golden Grahams Cereal, and it was on sale this week. I thought we should grab a box and makes Smores Snacks for us to snack on this week. It sounded pretty good to Thade too.

Gather Up Your Supplies:

  • 6 Cups of Golden Grahams Cereal
  • 1 10 ounce bag of Marshmallows (mini work too)
  • 1/4 cup of Margarine
  • 2 Tablespoons of White Corn Syrup
  • 1/2 Bag of Chocolate Chips (Milk or Semi-sweet, whatever you like best)
  • 2 Teaspoons of Vanilla
  • Don’t forget a Large Pot, Wooden Spoon, 9 x 13 Pyrex Cake Pan for your bars
  • 2 little Helpers to help eat the extra marshmallows

On low/medium heat combine the Margarine, Marshmallows, Chocolate Chips, and Corn Syrup. Once everything is melted and smooth, remove from heat, and add in the Vanilla. Give it a good stir, and add in the 6 Cups of Golden Grahams, and get ready to use those arms and stir like crazy.

When the Golden Grahams are all coated in the Marshmallowy goodness, pour the mixture into your 9 x 13 pan and smooth out gently. Make sure and sample that last bit left on the spoon… Cut into bars and enjoy!

This recipe is also good if you leave out the Chocolate, but my kiddos love Chocolate, so I left it in.

Still Sick

Yesterday I was feeling pretty good, and full of energy. I even knocked a few things off my growing To Do List. Last night, Dylan was up again ALL NIGHT, so today I am feeling awful. The aches are back, and my stomach is killing me, I’m thinking that it is from the antibiotics. I really feel like crawling back into bed and sleeping for the rest of the week.

Thade is doing well, but still coughing, and Dylan has perked up a bit too. His cough is still bad, but his runny nose is so much better today. Both of the kiddos have been really good about taking their medicine too. I’m putting a Gold Star on the calendar for everyday that the kiddos take their medicine. If they get 10 Gold stars we are renting Wall-E and Kung Fu Panda from RedBox. I bet they make it! They both really want to see both of the movies.
