Here are the pins:
I have fallen in love with Pinterest. I had a girlfriend post on my facebook wall that the site was made for me. I think she is right! With close to 2,000 pins, I made a promise to myself to use 1 pin a week. I have decided to keep track of the pins I have used through this blog. When I mentioned this to my 2 cousins they wanted to be contributors too. This blog will show things from a mom of a 7 and 2 year old, a mom of a 6 year old and a newlywed.

Halloween Party
This is the first time I really used pins. Last year I started hosting a small Halloween gathering before we walked around our neighborhood trick-or-treating. This year the party grew in size. When I saw these pins I knew exactly what I needed to make!

S'more Bars
These are outstanding! I will definitely making them again. And the author gave a tip to make these in a disposable pan. I highly recommend this tip. It made it so easy to cut and serve.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt.

S'More Bars:
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (approximately 5 full graham crackers)
1 tsp baking powder
2 or 3 super-sized (5 oz.) chocolate bars (e.g. Hershey’s)
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (or mini marshmallows if you must!)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Grease bottom of pan.
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (approximately 5 full graham crackers)
1 tsp baking powder
2 or 3 super-sized (5 oz.) chocolate bars (e.g. Hershey’s)
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (or mini marshmallows if you must!)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Grease bottom of pan.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt.
Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined.
Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Place chocolate bars over dough. Two 5 oz. Hershey’s bars should fit perfectly [for 8 by 8] side by side, but break the chocolate (if necessary) to get it to fit in a single layer. [use 3 Hershey's for 12 by 8 pan]
Spread marshmallow fluff evenly over the chocolate layer.
Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the creme. This is most easily done by putting the second half of the dough in a gallon size freezer bag. Use your palms or rolling pin to flatten it out, and then use scissors to cut down both long sides of the bag, so it will open up book-style. Open it up carefully, and the dough will stick on one side of the bag. Then place the bag, dough side down, on the other three layers. From there peel the bag up and carefully spread the dough where it is uneven.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely or almost completely for the melty factor before cutting into bars.
