Golden Graham Smores Bars

This post is courtesy of Bjork at Pinch of Yum and Food Blogger Pro.  I am a member, learning a ton of valuable information for any newbie food blogger and he invited us to practice with this post.  I guess I have homework:) So, here it goes…

I have a farmer friend.

His name is Tyler.

Our visit to his farm revealed a few things

1. Farms are pretty.
2. Don’t wear sandals on the farm.
3. Fainting goats are so weird but hilariously cute.
4. I will have a piglet for a pet someday.
5. Tyler cooks.

That’s right. Farmer T cooks.

And when Farmer T cooks, he doesn’t forget dessert.

I would go so far as to say that they were the best smores bars I’ve ever had, ever, and I don’t take that statement lightly. That’s why I made them myself within 24 hours of returning home, shortly after showering off farm smells and downloading 1,000 pictures of the piglets onto my computer.

These are perfect for summer get-togethers because, simply put, they’re BOMB. I did that just to mess with you, by the way.

The real reason they’re perfect is because everyone loves them, they’re portable, they’re easy to make, and the chocolate doesn’t get all over everybody’s everything, unless you face plant into the pan. Is there anything better in this world than gooey chocolate filling in between crispy cereal and puffy mallows? At this moment, with a smores bar in each of my hands, my answer is a resounding no.

Face planting in this would be so amazing right now.
