Frugal Family Fun: S’mores Night

Last Friday I didn’t get a chance to post our “Friday Family Fun Night” feature so I thought I would share with you what we did for our family fun night this past weekend.

We live in a very rural area where you can actually start a fire in your own yard as long as its after a certain hour in the evening.Â This weekend we decided to roast wienies and make our own homemade S’mores.Â Every year as soon as the warm weather returns we have wienie roasts. This year we thought it would be fun to add S’mores to our Summer evening traditions! By the way, this weekend was the first time I ever tasted a real chocolate-y gooey S’mores. I’m in love.

I bought our supplies at our local Wal-mart. Here’s the cost breakdown:

1 bag of Marshmallows - $1

1 big Hershey’s Chocolate bar - $1

1 box of store brand graham crackers -$1

Since we didn’t have any roasting forks we used REAL sticks which definitely keeps things entertaining! Think wieners falling off of sticks. However, the marshmallows did just fine.

Overall, everyone had a great time and we plan on doing a “S’mores night” at least every few weeks throughout Summer vacation.
