What on earth are Smores, you may be wondering?

These are a very delicious recipe that came through Girl Guides. Apparently they had originally come from some Guides from the USA ad I have to say they are delicious.

Ingredients:

• 2 Digestive Biscuits
• 2 Marshmallows
• 2 large chocolate buttons

Put the marshmallows on a skewer or a cocktail stick and melt them. This was originally done over a camp fire, although we found tea lights to be equally effective.

When they are all goo-ey, spread them on the digestive biscuits.

Then melt the chocolate buttons.  You might be able to get the button onto the skewer or the cocktail stick without breaking it.

When the Chocolate Buttons start to melt, put them on top of the marshmallows and sandwich the two biscuits together. Eat and enjoy!

The reason they are called Smores is because Everyone tends to want “some more”, so smores!

We had a sweet and biscuit making day on Wednesday and it was YUMMYY!!

Jacqueline was finishing her confectioner badge for guides, so she an Stephanie both made truffles and Jacqueline also make biscuits, which she decorated.

The truffles recipes were totally different, but they were both absolutely delicious.

Stephanie’s recipe was full of all sorts of chocolate, cocoa and cream and Jacqueline’s was melted chocolate and treacle!

Not surprisingly neither plateful lasted very long. We did manage to keep a couple for their Dad, when he came home on Friday. Boy, was that a struggle! Those scrummy, sticky, calorie and cholestoral and fat laden truffles winking at us out of the fridge!

The biscuits were from a recipe Jacqueline found in  a Usborne Christmas Cooking recipe book. They were like the traditional German Christmas biscuits, than the usual recipes we have used for biscuits.

Needless to say, they lasted just about long enough for me to take a picture of them for Jacqueline to show her Guide leader!

Great fun!
