Chocolate Graham Crackers
Pin
Lately it’s been quite rainy where I live. In southern California terms a lot of rain means once or twice a month at most, so whenever the skies here turn grey I rejoice. These are the days when our family hunkers down by the fireplace to play board games, read piles of books and, of course, make s’mores. Hubby and I have done this with Kenya and Chloe a few times in the past couple of months alone and now, whenever the kids see so much as a drop of water falling from the sky they’re pulling out the now not-so-hidden bag of marshmallows from the pantry. I always keep the other ingredients — graham crackers and Nutella (by the way, if you’ve never tried this chocolate hazelnut spread to make s’mores in place of a bar of chocolate, the time to start is now) — close by.
So there we were last month, sitting by the fire, gently toasting our marshmallows when Chloe said, “I wish I had a chocolate graham cracker”. You can’t feel too bad for a 3 year-old fantasizing about a chocolate graham cracker while she’s got a mouth full of s’mores, but her idea really got me thinking. The next day I went straight to the kitchen and came up with Chloe’s dream cookie. It’s mainly a graham cracker but packs a bang of chocolate in each bite making them unbelievably delicious and the ultimate kid treat!
