Cool recipes for a fun summer picnic

Summer Flower Smores

What You Need

2 graham crackers for each person
1 plain chocolate bar for each person (approximately the size of the graham cracker)
1 marshmallow for each person
food coloring

How to Make It:

Ask your folks to help you with this one because you need to use the oven. Prehead the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. This will help keep the cookie sheet from being so messy and help you with cleaning up.
Put 1 graham cracker for each person on the cookie sheet.
Put 1 candy bar on each graham cracker.
Put a few drops of food coloring into a paper cup. Use a different paper cup for each color. One at a time, color the marshmallows by dropping them into a cup with the food coloring and jiggling it around. This step is optional: All it does is color the marshmallows like summer flower colors.
Put one marshmallow on top of each graham cracker & chocolate bar.
Cover each "sandwich" with a graham cracker.
Put the cookie sheet into the oven and bake for a few minutes until the marshmallow is soft. Don't leave them to cook alone, but stay and watch to make sure nothing burns.
When you see the chocolate melting, they're done. Get some help to remove the pan from the oven.
Gently squish the top down on each one to spread out the marshmallow. Let them cool for a few minutes, then wrap them up to take on your picnic.

You can do these in a microwave oven. Just use a microwave-save baking dish lined with wax paper or parchment paper instead of a cookie sheet lined with foil. Set the microwave to cook for 10 seconds at a time until the chocolate looks slightly melted.

Let everybody pick their favorite color. They're so good you'll hear "I want Smore!"
