For those of you who weren’t with us yesterday, we learned how to make\u00a0fluffy\u00a0Homemade Marshmallows<\/a> as part of National S’more Day. (Last month, mom showed you how to smoke your own fresh-caught salmon for her oh-so-heavenly Sweet & Smoky Salmon Zucchini Rolls<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Today, we gather up\u00a0molasses and coconut to make homemade graham crackers. Aren’t your friends going to be i-m-p-r-e-s-s-e-d when they get a taste of the real<\/em> thing? (P.S. Stay with me here, there’s some extra special sweetness\u00a0at the end of the recipe.)<\/p>\n

HONEY GRAHAM CRACKERS
\nPREP TIME: 20 MINUTES
\nCOOK TIME: 10 MINUTES
\nMAKES: 60 CRACKERS<\/p>\n

1\u00bc\u00a0 cups flour
\n1\u00bc\u00a0 cups whole-wheat flour
\n1\/3 cup brown sugar
\n1\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0t baking powder
\n\u00bd\u00a0\u00a0 t baking soda
\n\u00bd\u00a0\u00a0 t salt
\n\u00bd\u00a0\u00a0 cup salted butter
\n2\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0T honey
\n2\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0T molasses
\n1\/3\u00a0 cup canned coconut milk
\n\u00bd\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0t coconut extract<\/p>\n

1. Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
\n2. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl; set aside.
\n3. In a medium pan, warm the butter, honey, molasses, and coconut milk just enough to combine. Add the coconut extract.
\n4. Pour the milk mixture all at once into the flour mixture. Stir until the mixture is gathered into a ball.
\n5. Turn the dough out onto a surface and knead gently, folding and pressing for 12 to 15 strokes. Divide dough into smaller pieces and roll each piece between two pieces of parchment paper to 1\/8\u201d thickness.
\n6. Cut with a 2\u00bc\u201d round cookie cutter. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for 10 minutes, or until crackers are slightly crisp.<\/p>\n

So let’s re-hash.<\/p>\n

marshmallow + graham cracker + chocolate = S’more …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Add a dash of kids, a stick, and a campfire, and you’re ready for s’more summer\u00a0fun!<\/p>\n

Just make sure, on the day you make your s’mores,\u00a0you don’t have a dental appointment\u00a0later in the day. This was going to be my girls’ first appointment\u00a0to have their teeth cleaned. Great timing, right? Dentist appointment on National S’mores Day? The\u00a0dental hygienist asked Mia what flavor she’d like for her cleaning paste (whatever that<\/em> stuff\u00a0is). “Orange, cotton candy, or …” Mia stopped her right there. “We just HAD some candy.”<\/p>\n
