In a recent meeting at River Valleys, we were asked, “If Girl Scouts was a food, what kind would it be?” Obviously, it was a perfect tie between cookies and s’mores! Thanks to the JUST ANNOUNCED, BRAND NEW GIRL SCOUT S’MORES™ COOKIES, we won’t have to choose between the two any longer. Welcome to the future. It’s sticky.
I know cookie season in February seems like forever away, so in the meantime, here are a few more s’more-rific recipes for combining the Girl Scout campfire treat with your other favorite foods. Happy National S’mores Day!
1. S’mores Popcorn
To accompany a backyard screening of Troop Beverly Hills.
2. S’mores Popsicles
For those days when you’d rather eat your s’mores straight out of the freezer.
3. S’mores Pancakes
A perfect balance of marshmallow, graham cracker, and chocolate – what could be a better way to start your day?
4. S’mores Brownie Pizza
Person: “What are your three favorite foods?” Me: “S’mores, brownies, and pizza.”
5. S’mores Granola Bars
Pack in your s’mores for a Girl Scout nature hike!
