s’mores candy

Nothing makes me want to eat more than stress, good news, bad news, or being bored.

That’s not a lot of triggers, right?

And this week I’ve had a little bit of all of the above.  I had a 2nd interview for a job I really want (good), the girl who interviewed me was 23 (stress), I got turned down to do a reading in a show I auditioned for (bad) and I watched the Oscars (bored).

Side note…I officially have a girl crush on Jennifer Lawrence.  If she weren’t just a year younger than the girl who interviewed me this week, I’d pretend that we could BFFs.  But since I could be her extremely young mother…I’ll try not to go all cougar crush on her.

Writing these down really emphasizes how crazy-up and down my life is on a regular basis.

But what really keeps me going is trying to keep it all simple…when emotionally eating.

And whether you are happy, sad, stressed, or bored I guarantee that these little candy bars can get you through the day.

what you need:

1 box of graham crackers

3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup butter

3 cups mini marshmellows

1 cup chocolate chips

4 Hershey Bars, coarsely chopped

what to do:

preheat oven to 350

line a large jelly roll pan (11×17) with foil and coat with cooking spray

cover entire pan with graham crackers

melt butter and sugar in a small saucepan and let boil gently (stirring constantly!) for 4-5 minutes (until sugar is dissolved)

pour sugar mixture over graham crackers and spread it evenly over the crackers

put in oven for 5-6 minutes or until sugar mixture is bubbly on top

remove from oven, and evenly spread marshmellows, chocolate chips, and chocolate bar pieces over the graham crackers

place back in the oven for 3-4 minutes, or until marshmellows are puffy

remove from oven, cool completely and then remove from pan, cut into bars.

serve and enjoy!
