Bigger is better

Especially if you're talking S'mores. I discovered these giant-sized marshmallows last week and we decided to put them to the test last night.

















 Audrey's ready. She's been talking about them all week!













Justin devised a solution to keeping the kids' fingers out while we waited for the coals to get hot enough. He's cute, isn't he?

















And Matt seems to appreciate the gooey goodness, even if just for a moment. He was more interested in the ingredients although he did pretty well on this one before leaving it for the birds. Those were pretty yummy kisses later, though!








Gooey, dripping molten mallow. Yummy! The huge marshmallows were a success. Really it's kind of like getting the best of both worlds as you have to eat enough toasted marshmallow from around the edges of your smore to be a plain toasted marshmallow on it's own, and then you get the smore, too! And one is definitely enough. Eating them six at a time, we'll have this bag in our freezer for a long time, I'm afraid, without some help! Any takers? ;-)

I've loved catching up on your blog. I saw these marshmallows in the store the other day and was not as brave/adventurous as you to try them out. It looks like they worked out for you.

Oh that comment was from Erica.

Erica, we could always just send you the rest of our bag... :-) I mean it was fun and all, but there's enough sugary sweetness in one of those for an army!

I do love smores!! It would be fun to live by you guys. Rob, Andrew, and I had a little bit of smores ourselves when we camped in the backyard at your parents house. Thanks for the posts!!

Ryan loves the giant marshmallows, too! Little Matt is so darling. I wish we were closer so our littles could play. xoxo.

Aren't the ginormous mallows so fun? They make the best smores. And yes, one is enough...especially with 90 calories a pop. EEK! :)
