S’mores Create the Happiest Campers ~ S'mores Pack Giveaway



As I mentioned a couple of months ago, now that my kids are older...I've been trying to come up with some fun summertime family traditions. One of those being making S'mores together! We've had the opportunity to enjoys several S'mores together over the last few months...and the great thing is, even with the nights cooling down a little bit...we are still able to enjoy this fun family tradition inside our home too.

Growing up I remember S'mores in the microwave best. We didn't have a firepit and did not go camping often...so we made S'mores in the microwave which were oh so yummy! I've had the opportunity to have some fun family indoor campouts with the kids and we've certainly enjoyed our share of S'mores too!

As someone who loves the combination of graham crackers. marshmallows and chocolate (who doesn't, right?!), I was excited when asked if I'd like to participate in the Hershey's Say S'mores project through TheMotherhood!

We even took a quick video of our fun S'mores experience. It's definitely true that S'mores Create the Happiest Campers! :)


This summer, the Hershey Company has been encouraging families to create their own S'mores memories with the Say S'mores campaign. Starting June 16, families were invited to capture and share their favorite S'mores moments on the Hershey's brand Facebook page for a chance to win S'mores-themed prizes. The grand-prize is a Canon Rebel Camera, slate marble outdoor firebowl, $250 SnapFish gift card, roasting skewers set and all of the ingredients needed to make S’mores, including Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bars. Families who visit the Hershey’s brand Facebook page on or after June 15 can download the Say S’mores application to participate in monthly photo contests and receive a $1 coupon good toward the purchase of any two Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bar 6-packs.


How about you?! Do you and your family love making S'mores together as much as we do? If so, I have a great giveaway for you!

  21. I make them with Elizabeth (2) right now she loves them as much as I do. It's my favorite snacking treat. I actually won a great prize pack like this one last summer but when it arrived ALL of my hershey bars were completely liquidy! I never did find out how to contact anyone though I did try. The rest of the pack was great though so I guess I'll have to win me another one.

  22. I enjoy making smores with my daughter. We make them all year long in the microwave. I think they taste best on snow days...when we are stuck in the house. Maybe because they remind me of summer...lol.

  70. I am a third grade teacher with a camping theme classroom. As a reward for the end of the year success, we camp out over night in the classroom and make smores, tell scary stories by the "campfire", play games and sleep in the tent and sleeping bags! The students love this and so do I. We make our smores in the microwave. It is very messy but tons of fun.
