Everyone's favorite childhood memory of summer time is sitting around a campfire telling stories, roasting hot dogs, and everyone's favorite summer treat, s'mores. But, what if you don't have access to a campfire and you're craving your favorite summer treat? Well, we've got the answer for you—four different s'more recipes that will curve your craving for s'mores and plus, you can have them year round.
Let's start with some cookies. This recipe is inspired by one that I found on Pinterest that I changed to make it my own. You can find the original one here: cookies. All around the cookies were good, they just didn't have as strong of a s'mores taste as the other three.
