XO Smores! How cute is that--I love this fun idea, found at
The Idea Room.
I've been wanting to make
these since we moved into our house. I also love the idea of putting them next to your child's bed so they can read before going to sleep at night, or just relax on their bed reading. :)
The following recipes from Studio 5 look good to me. :) I am also trying to obtain a three month supply of food for our family--
here is a great resource you might want to check out!
