I wanted to end this week with a tasty treat and if you know me you know I have a sweet tooth!
One of my favorite desserts is S’mores and since this was the 4th of July week I decided to make Patriotic S’mores but with a twist {wink, wink}! I added creamy peanut butter {because who doesn’t like chocolate and peanut butter?!} and instead of traditional graham crackers I use salty, crunchy Ritz crackers!
We had a rainy Independence Day this year so we stayed inside most of the day. But no worries we still made a grilled sausage lunch indoors and had inside S’mores cooked right in the oven!

I found these patriotic red, white, and blue star marshmallows at World Market and knew right away I wanted to make s’mores with them! But these marshmallows were huge compared to your typical Jet Puffed large marshmallow so I cut them in half {you can do this before or after you broil them}.
