Seriously, I was thinking about my blog and I realized that if you only read my blog and you didn't know me personally, you would think that I do a lot of baking. The truth is that I bake for parties, mix n' mingles, friends, etc. I almost never bake just for fun, I have to have a purpose. I guess I have had a lot of reasons to bake lately and let's be honest would you rather see a picture of me at work or a picture of my latest food creation. My next goal is to start cooking meals ahead of time so when I get home late from work and I still have to work on my seminary lesson that I can warm up something homemade instead of eating cold cereal.
My latest treat was for two Halloween parties. My friends Anjie & Eric host a family friendly Halloween party every year and even though I may not have my own children, I like to party with all my little friends.
I am usually excused from bringing anything to the party but Anjie did ask for my Indoor S'mores and since I had to make something for my work party, I just made two batches.The recipe is very easy and oh, so good! (Thanks Aunt Sheila for introducing me to this amazing treats years ago.)
Indoor S'mores
1/3 cup light corn syrup
8 cups Golden Grahams cereal
6 Tbsp. butter
5 cup mini marshmallows
1 1/2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips
