Inside Out S’mores

Jumbo marshmallows
Hershey’s milk chocolate bars (or any other brand)
Graham crackers
Skewers or sticks to roast marshmallows
 
Directions:
Skewer one jumbo marshmallow and roast evenly on an open fire until brown on all sides. Carefully slide off the outer layer of the marshmallow until you have a “hollow” jumbo marshmallow.
Sandwich two halves of the chocolate bar between half a graham cracker and gently stuff it inside the “hollow” marshmallow. Allow to rest for a few seconds so that the chocolate melts a bit and serve immediately!

Easy Trainer Chopsticks

PhotobucketPhotobucket 
You will need: chopsticks(in the paper sleeve) and a rubber band or a hair tie? Whatever you have available when you are eating. Take the chopsticks out of the sleeve.

Fold your sleeve in half (long ways) 3 times.

After you’ve folded 3 times, fold into thirds the other way. Put your folded paper in between the two chopsticks, close to the top.
 
PhotobucketPhotobucket 
Take your rubber band and wrap it around the chopsticks, underneath the paper, one time. Wrap the rest of the rubber band around the chopsticks, above the paper. All of this should be towards the very end of the chopsticks. This will keep the chopsticks apart from each other and they are now fool-proof and ready to use!

Waaaaalaaaa. “Training” chopsticks. Not JUST for children.
