Grilling With Foil Packets

How to make a foil packet:
1. Lay a large sheet of heavy-duty foil or a double layer of regular foil on a flat surface. (Use nonstick foil where noted.)

2. Put the ingredients in the center of the foil. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to seal, leaving room for steam. Grill as directed. (Each recipe serves 2 to 4.)

S’More Cookies

This recipe is super easy, but gives a look of great effort!

Ingredients:

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1/3 Cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 regular size hershey bars (24 sections)
  • 6 large marshmallows (quartered into 24 pieces)
  • 2-3 graham crackers (broken into 1/2 inch pieces)

Instructions:

Mix cake mix, oil and eggs in medium/large bowl, til combined. Mixture will be thick. Spray 24 cup mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray. Portion out equally into mini-muffin pan. Top each with marshmallow in center.

Bake 350 defrees F for 8 minutes, or until cookies are fully baked and tops of marshmallow perfectly toasted.

While still hot press chocolate piece and graham cracker into marshmallow, as in photo. Let cool. (To remove from pan, I found that a little twist released each one – unless marshmallow oozed onto the pan.) So yummy!!
