Kids in the Kitchen: S’mores Pops

Why is food on a stick so much fun?

Is it the fact that you don’t have to use utensils?

Or that it sometimes get messy?

Does corndogs and popsicles remind you of summer days and carnivals?

Or kabobs bring you back to that fancy summer dinner party?

Food on a stick just screams the dog days of summer and takes me back to whimsical days of being a kid.

These S’more Pops are no exception. A kid favorite stuck on a stick! And no worries no hot bon fire required.

First up traditional S’more Pops with classic flavors, then if you want a little variety try my version, Strawberry Cheesecake S’more Pops. These are easy as can be and the kiddos will have fun every step of the way.

These would also be darling wrapped up in a cellophane baggie tied with a bow and used as a party favor for maybe a s’mores party!

I’m just sayin’!
