Peyton and I really have a sweet tooth. And while I was out shopping the other day I came across this baking mix from Betty Crocker - Hershey's s'mores premium dessert bar mix. Of course, I just had to pick up a box and try it out. I was curious if this was really going to taste like a s'mores and how hard was it going to be to make. Turns out, it's fairly simple to make!

What better way for the kids to cool down after a day of swimming while waiting for it to get dark for fireworks?While I was at the store looking over the impressive selection of Popsicles I thought back to my childhood. We did not have nearly the ...
