S'mores Dessert Mix: A Summertime Favorite

Warning: This dessert mix is HIGHLY addictive. I dare you to only take one handful...

I'm really on a s'mores kick these days. (Did you miss the post earlier this week? Find the S'mores Cupcake recipe here), There is something about the combination of graham crakers, chocolate, and marshamallows that I love. To mix things up from the tradition ooey, gooey, campfire s'more, give this dessert mix a try! It's so quick to throw together, and is a huge hit at parties (my coworkers loved it!).

To me, this dessert is summer's favorite snack mix. The recipe doesn't require any cooking/heating/baking at all, so while the temperature is hot hot hot outside, your kitchen will stay nice and cool when making this treat.
