S’mores Bars
It’s hot and steamy this summer, which brings back memories of camping. Our family had a knack for picking the rainiest weekends—seriously, it rained 85% of the time we camped! Friends would even check our plans to avoid the downpour. But you can skip the sauna-like tents and enjoy campfire treats at home with these S’mores Bars. No hot sticks required. Enjoy the taste of summer without the soggy sleeping bags!
