It’d be worth it.
I will give a free hat to the first Browncoat from this town to ask, just for get the pleasure of sending something there. So totally worth it.
In today’s girl scout meeting, we’ll be finishing up business from last meeting’s try-it patch. We ran out of time to do s’mores. S’mores presents a challenge in a classroom. One of our girls is bringing a lantern, and we’re going to try to melt chocolate over it. I like her ingenuity. Fortunately, I like all three ingredients in s’mores, so it’ll be tasty no matter the outcome.
We’ll also be working on the “Puppets, Dolls, and Play” badge. I picked up some craft foam from Michael’s craft store, and we’ll be making cunning little puppets with holes cut out for our fingers to be legs. Note picture to the right of the sample I made to be sure it worked. I didn’t want to make it too fancy, because I don’t want the girls to make themselves nuts. I just wanted to try it out and show them one method. It’ll be interesting to see what they come up with.
Wearwithstyle is again open for business. My hand is tender when touched, but I can knit just fine. So, hopefully knit night tonight, unless I get too tired. I missed last week, so I hope to make it out tonight!
s’mores
you know what is excellent? Replace regular chocolate squares with caramilk squares.

I do pseudo-smores in the microwave with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. 🙂
I’ve used the warming burner of a coffee maker to melt chocolate in a pinch. A bain-marie of really hot tap water would do it, albeit slowly.

Okies … you are the other perfect person to have one of these.

I’ve had one for a couple of years now. We set it up for every party we throw and most major holidays. It is FANTASTIC! It isn’t very messy and I’ve never had anyone get hurt or anything other than the occasional marshmallow catch on fire.

Forgot to add … I know the webpage says they are out of them, but I’ve seen them for sale for less at Target.

No-melt-required Smores
I know you’ve already had your meeting, but while planning for my daughter’s Halloween birthday party, I found a simple recipe for no-melt-required smores. You use chocolate-hazelnut spread (otherwise known as Nutella) on one cracker and marshmallow creme on the other cracker. It indicated that they could be warmed in the microwave by ones or twos (I used the oven at a low temp for a short time to do them en masse), but I don’t think it was necessary to warm them, unless you live in Alaska where room temperature would be 40 degrees or something…LOL Hope this helps for future events. If you want the actual recipe link, let me know and I’ll look it up!
