Whenever I think of the quintessential summer dessert, of course the first thing that comes to mind is S’mores. You can’t let the season go by without enjoying this classic treat at least once…but hopefully you’re enjoying it a lot more than just once. It’s a crowd pleaser, they’re easy to make and they remind us of our childhood. So, what’s not to like? I’ve shared many a s’mores recipe on here already, from slab pie to doughnuts to cinnamon rolls, hand pies, galettes, eclairs and cupcakes. They all are great in their own right. This month, however, I’ve teamed up with my friends over at GO BOLD WITH BUTTER to bring you these S’mores Biscuits, and I will go on the record to say that they just might be my favorite s’mores rendition yet. Homemade flaky buttermilk biscuits, made with crushed up graham crackers, are filled with melted chocolate and toasted marshmallow. It’s the ultimate comfort food meets classic summer dessert and I can’t stress enough just how badly you need to make this dish. You’re going to love it!

Last summer I shared a recipe for a 
It is way too hot these days to be dreaming about making s’mores outside on an open fire. The whole outside is like an open fire! LA is complaining about the heat every chance we get (myself included), and so I wanted to bring a classic summer dessert indoors. Away from the sun. Away from the heat, and away from any open flames. These Peanut Butter S’mores Hand Pies for 
Homemade chewy oatmeal cookies—sans raisins and with chocolate chips instead because I’m no monster—are one hundred times better when they’re sandwiched together with a heaping amount of Nutella and toasted marshmallows. I couldn’t let another 4th of July go by without making sure I got you covered in the dessert department. These Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie S’mores are the way to go this year. They’re the perfect chance to shine at your BBQ or gathering, and to jazz up that tired old dessert we all know and love. Don’t get me wrong though, a classic s’mores with store-bought graham crackers are still my jam. All I’m saying is that chewy oatmeal cookies make for a much better vessel. I love these because you can make the cookies the day before and then keep them in an airtight container until you’re ready to assemble. You can swap out the Nutella for either chocolate pieces or even peanut butter cups. You really can’t go wrong any way you go. The only thing that matters is that you make these for your summer celebrations. Nothing would make me happier!
Do you know how sometimes your eyes are bigger than your stomach? You just buy a bunch of stuff at the grocery store because you think to yourself, “Oh I’m totally going to eat all of this. In one sitting no less.” Then when it comes time to show off your all you can eat skills, you don’t even come close? Well that happened to me this week, sort of. My mom and sisters came over for a 4th of July beach picnic and then to my place later on for a 4th of July BBQ. My mamma asked me what she can bring, and so I told her what to get at the store so that we can make s’mores after dinner. The thing is that I told her to get more than we needed, and because I am my mother’s son after all, she brought double that amount and then I was left with an obscene amount of s’mores ingredients without a clue of what to do with it all. I mean other than my new favorite motto of “a s’more a day keeps the doctor away,” I needed a game plan. These Mini S’mores Galettes were born out of that. So in a way I guess we should all be thanking my mother for making this all happen. This is most definitely a Cheers to the Weekend moment, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 
The way I look at it, the sole purpose of making a slab pie is to either A). feed a crowd or B). have an excuse to eat a giant pie all by yourself. Let’s be honest though, If I was given the option, I would definitely choose the latter because when it comes to this S’mores Slab Pie the more for me the merrier. I’m like Gollum from Lord of the Rings, standing over this pie and repeatedly calling it “my precious.” Something tells me you will be too when you make it for yourself. It’s simple, but life changing at the same time. It’s that time again for us to Cheers to the Weekend, and since we’re all friends here, I can’t let you celebrate the weekend without sharing the recipe for this particular slab pie. Since it is officially summer now, and because I’m a sole believer that s’mores is THE quintessential summer dessert and/or treat, I think this is coming at ya at the perfect time. Give it a try this weekend, find some people to share it with, and live your best life. I’m counting on you. The world is counting on you.
