Summer is definitely upon us and we’re in the middle of a pretty good heat wave, and looking at the weather map of the US, we’re certainly not the only ones suffering from this heat wave. With the dog days of summer still weeks away, all we can do is try to stay as cool as possible, and out of the direct sunlight! I’ have to wonder how this heat is going to effect our summer crop of fruits and vegetables, let’s hope not to badly. The last thing we need is a produce shortage that drives the prices up even more….sigh
But it’s Friday, the end of yet another work week and just about time to relax and start the weekend. Of course you know that also means it’s Guest Post Friday……Woo hoo!
Today my friends it’s my great pleasure to share my blog with my friend Amy from Amy’s Cooking Adventures, and has she cooked up the perfect summer treat for us today! If you’ve never visited with Amy before, the name of her blog, Cooking Adventures is right on the mark, as she leads you through some great tasting adventures!
You’ll find all sorts of amazing creations at Amy’s Cooking Adventures, where she delights her readers with everything from cheese enchiladas to potato chip cookies, one delicious post after another! You’re going to love what you see on her pages, but I’m warning you now, you better have some snacks ready because you’re going to be hungry after checking out her posts……I can feel my stomach rumbling just thinking of all those tasty treats!
So sit back, relax, put your feet up and let the drooling begin, as I give you ………..
Amy’s Cooking Adventures
Hello everyone! I’m Amy from Amy’s Cooking Adventures! I’m a Stay at Home Mommy of two sweet little boys with a little bit of Zumba instructing and a whole lot of cooking on the side!
Funny story. Just a couple weeks ago I was working up the nerve to ask Chef Dennis if I might be able to guest post on his blog. I had the e-mail typed and then my shyness won out and I deleted the whole thing. Then just two days later (no exaggeration!), much to my surprise, I had a message in my inbox from Chef Dennis inviting me to post here today! Too funny! I guess great minds think alike!
When it came time to choose a recipe, I thought, why not choose something that is quintessentially summer: S’mores!
These lovelies are a brownies mix base with graham crackers and more chocolate stuffed inside. Then a marshmallow is toasted on top while they finish baking and topped off with a Kiss! Did I mention that the chocolate is my favorite part of a s’more?
Enjoy these cookies with a big ‘ol glass of milk and imagine you’re sitting by a campfire!
Thank you so much Chef Dennis for having me here today! It’s been a pleasure!
What a perfect summertime treat, S’mores bring back so many memories, and having them made into cookies just makes them so much easier to eat! Thanks for such a delicious guest post Amy! Now before you forget head on over to Amy’s Cooking Adventures and say hello, you’ll be so happy you did! Just remember to give youself enough time to drool over all of the wonderful creations you’ll find there!

My daughter and I made these as our last big hurrah for the end of summer and beginning of the school year. We had a big bonfire cook out and had these as dessert. They were amazing!! I loved the idea of them as a cookie. All the yumminess without all the mess. They would make great bake sale take alongs. I will have to remember that. Thanks for the recipe!

I love the addition of sea salt to these… S’mores done one better… chocolate-y, sweet, AND a little bit salty! Thanks for a delicious guest post, Amy, and thanks Chef Dennis for featuring Amy’s Cooking Adventures. That last photo is summer fun at its finest!

I remember making these at Girl Scouts and sitting around a campfire. I don’t think I have had one since then and we are talking a lot of years ago. It’s nice to meet you Amy and these S’mores look fantastic. Lovely guest post Chef and a wonderful weekend to you both.
Laura (Tutti Dolci)
I love s’mores, what a fun idea to turn them into these cookies. Perfect for summer!

Hi Amy and Chef. I guess this guest post was meant to be since you guys thought about it at the same time! And I’m so glad you did. Dudette would LOVE these cookies. She asks me for s’mores all the time, but with it as hot here as it is elsewhere (yeah, I feel your pain, Chef), there’s no way I’m sitting around a fire with a marshmallow on a stick. This recipe removes that need! Thanks for creating it and sharing it, Amy.
