S'mores Snack Mix 2

Have you ever wondered what to do with all of those Tootsie Rolls that you get at parades in the summer time??  Here is a GREAT recipe to use some of those up!

You will need...

• Graham Crackers
• Marshmellows ( I used the small colored ones, but any will do!)
• Tootsie Rolls

1. Take one sleeve of graham crackers and break them into small bite size pieces.
2. Dump those into a large bowl.
3. Dump the bag of marshmellows into the bowl.
4. Unwrap and cut the tootsie rolls into 2-3 pieces and dump those into the bowl.
5. Mix it all together and you have a s'mores snack! :)

When you use the tootsie rolls you don't have to worry about them melting like chocolate, but you will still have the chocolate taste!

S'mores Snack Mix

You will need..

• Golden Grahams ( I used Honey Grahams)
• Marshmellows ( I had some left over from the 4th of July)
• Chocolate Chips
• Baggies

I put 1 cup of Honey Grahams, 1/4 cup of Chocolate Chips, and 10-15 Mashmellows into the baggies.  They were placed in the pantry where the kids could grab them when they wanted a snack.  These were a big hit with them!

Campbell's Go Soups

I was sent a full size sample of Campbell's Go, Spicy Chorizo, from Smiley360 to try out.

 



The Campbell's Go soup is great for a work lunch, or for someone on the go. 

This one is the Spicy Chorizo with pulled chicken & black beans.

You can warm the soup right in the pouch!  It is SUPER easy to do!!

First you tear on the dotted line to vent the pouch.  You then microwave it for 2-2.5 mins.  When you take the pouch out of the microwave the sides are cool to the touch while the soup is super hot.  You then pour it into a bowl and enjoy!
You can also warm it on a stove top by opening the bag then pouring it into a saucepan over medium heat till warmed/heated all the way.

The Spicy Chorizo had GREAT flavor, but I wasn't a fan of the meat in it.

When I think of pulled chicken I think that it would be like a shredded chicken.  This was more like a chicken hotdog.

The veggies were great!  Also, if you like spicy foods your should really try this!

I was able to try this thanks to Smiley360 .  Check them out and/or sign up here! :)

Lemon Frosting Glaze

You will need..

2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1.5 cups Powered Sugar
1 teaspoon Lemon Peel

Mix everything together in a bowl.  If you may need to adjust the powered sugar or lemon juice depending on how running/thick you want it.

This goes GREAT on top of the Pink Lemonade Monkey Bread.

Pink Lemonade Monkey Bread

I stumbled upon a recipe on Pinterest for Monkey Bread that used dry cake mix.  I changed the recipe a bit and this is what I came up with... and it was pretty good!

You will need..
2 cans of biscuits (flaky will work just not that great)
2 sticks of butter (melted)
1 box dry cake mix (any will work, I used Pink Lemonade)
6 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 9x13 pan

• Spray the 9x13 pan with Pam cooking spray and then cover with some of the dry cake mix/brown sugar mixture (do this instead of using flour)
• Mix the vanilla and melted butter in a bowl and set aside
• Mix the dry cake mix and brown sugar in another bowl and set aside

 Next cut up the biscuits in 6-8 pieces each.

Then coat each piece with the melted butter/vanilla mixture.

 

Then put the coated butter/vanilla pieces in the dry cake mix/brown sugar mix and coat good.

 

Then put those pieces in the 9x13 pan.

 

Continue to repeat the above pictured steps till the biscuits are all coated and in the 9x13 pan.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10 mins or till the biscuits have cooked all the way through.

The Lemon Frosting Glaze goes GREAT on top of this!

 

 

Build-A-Bear SpongeBob & Patrick

** Build-A-Bear sent both Sponge Bob & Patrick for me to review at no cost to me, but my time, for my honest opinion & review of the items.



I was pretty excited when Build-A-Bear returned my e-mail to review an item, and even more excited when they told me they would send both SpongeBob & Patrick! 

When we got the package I think my kids were even more excited to get another stuffed animal then I was to review them!  They have been taking them EVERYWHERE we go and are GREAT for pillows in the car for trips.

The stitching holds up GREAT after being washed, and they don't get pilly or lumpy like some stuffed animals do after washing. 

 

SpongeBob was my daughters favorite.  He is SUPER soft and VERY easy to cuddle with.  I was amazed and surprised at how soft he was!
