Featured! S’mores Pancake Mix, 24 oz.

These are fun pancakes, campfire pancakes. They’ll remind the kids of summer camp and impress your friends. They’re great for camping, but they’re also fun for a summer breakfast on the deck.

And in the winter, it’s still s’mores–chocolate, graham, and marshmallow.  It’ll bring back memories and sunshine.

Who would have thought it?  

• Okay. What makes this a S’mores Pancake? Well, it’s got gobs of chocolate in a graham cracker-tasting pancake. 
• So, what’s the dominant flavor?  Chocolate, really good chocolate. The graham cracker is in the background. 
• Amazing! Well, what about the marshmallow? That’s marshmallow syrup. You can buy it separately, but it’s not expensive.
• It doesn’t look like marshmallow cream. It’s marshmallow syrup, lighter in color and more mellow and marshmallowy.  
• Will my kids like it? Sure, it’s sweet. But it’s much more sophisticated than you expect.  It’s an adult syrup. 
• What’s in it? It has some buttermilk, but the acid has been neutralized, so it’s smooth and mellow.  The syrup is made with sugar and butter–like caramel with marshmallow.
• So what happens when you combine them? The chocolate is the dominant flavor. The caramelly marshmallow comes through next. The flavor of graham crackers stays in the background. It’s a really great combination.

Your family is going to love this. It’s a s’mores-tasting experience. There will be no leftovers.

You can almost smell the smoke!

How to Make Candy Popcorn with Your Leftover Marshmallow Syrup

You can pop popcorn in your RV or over the fire.  You can pour the syrup over the warm popcorn.  It’ll be sticky, ooey-gooey, which is fine, but you can give your popcorn a thinner, less sticky coating by reheating the syrup, adding some water to thin the syrup if it’s too thick, and adding some baking soda–a half teaspoon will do for a partial batch of syrup.

The baking soda foams and creates tiny air bubbles and a thinner coating on the popcorn, which dries harder and becomes more crunchy. But chewy, gooey is good too.
