S'mores Indoors

Just because it's too cold outside to gather comfortably around a campfire doesn't mean you can't enjoy that sweet treat that's hard to beat: a chocolate, graham cracker, & toasted marshmallow sandwich, otherwise known as a s'more. Simply pull up a chair to the nearest fireplace, light the logs, and start roasting. You'll be wiping sticky marshmallow glue off your face in no time.  

The rocking chair shown below is actually a Christmas tree ornament that I purchased from Hobby Lobby. 

The chocolate bars were also purchased, as part of a set of miniature foods.

The skewered marshmallows, on the other hand, were made by hand. I cut a cotton ball into 2 tiny squares and inserted a toothpick dipped in superglue into the bottom center of each square.

 I also made the graham crackers, using leftover cardboard packaging and a drawing pen, ...

... as well as the tree, which features green craft foam shaped into a cone, red and white craft foam hole punched into 12 circles, and a sticker from a gift catalog that arrived in the mail.  

Here's a fun fact about s'mores: According to Real Simple, Girl Scouts invented s'mores in 1927, almost 50 years before the word "s'more" became a word officially recognized by the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Who knew?
