miniature s'mores

Last night, I invented a new dessert. Miniature S'mores! I poked miniature marshmallows onto toothpicks. I rigged a long piece of foil to hold the sticks and I put it on the grill after our dinner was cooked. Our neighbors brought us back the most incredible chocolates from Switzerland...tiny little bars. And I used a little bag of Teddy Grahams left over from Seth's visit. I served all of the components in little bowls on a plate. It was a fun little dessert...just a little taste of summer.
