Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to our favorite Daddy and to all the Dad's we love! We spent the day with our dads, 1st at a BBQ with Jim and then to my parents house for dinner with my dad. Bronwyn loved wishing "Happy Father's Day" to Danny and Uncle James who had stayed over at our house the night before. She seemed so thrilled to have remembered what day it was!

We made up some yummy S'more Cups and brought them to both celebrations. Everyone seemed to really like them! We definitaly had a busy day and Hayden is miserably teething and also is working to fight another ear infection. So it was rough! We were happy to get back home and just relax where the kids can just hang out and be their happy-selves!

You wanna make them, don't you?!?!
S'more Cups
7 whole graham crackers (1 cup/250 mL finely crushed)
1/4 cup (50 mL) powdered sugar
6 tbsp (90 mL) butter, melted
4 bars (1.55 oz or 43 g each) milk chocolate candy, divided
12 large marshmallows

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place graham crackers into a large resealable plastic bag. Finely crush into crumbs using Baker's Roller®;. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter in Small Batter Bowl. Using Small Scoop, place scant scoop of crumb mixture in each cup of Deluxe Mini-Muffin Pan. Press crumbs to form shallow cups with Mini-Tart Shaper. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling. Meanwhile, break two of the candy bars into rectangles. Remove pan from oven; place one rectangle into each cup.

2. Cut marshmallows in half crosswise using Professional Shears dipped in cold water. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup. Return to oven 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are just slightly softened. Remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool 15 minutes. Carefully remove cups from pan. Cool completely.

3. Break remaining candy bars and place in (1-cup/250 mL) Prep Bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute-11/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 20 seconds. Dip the top of each marshmallow in melted chocolate. Turn top-side up and let stand 40 minutes-1 hour or until set.
