Ashley's FIT KITCHEN

As we enter the final weeks of summer, with back-to-school just around the corner, what better way to take in these final days of the season than with a scrumptious s’more. Not to mention, August 10 is National S’mores Day!

It’s not always convenient to have a campfire, so I’ve come up with a s’more recipe that’s portable for you to make and take. No baking required, these quick and easy to make smore’s are even more delicious and fun to eat. They’re perfectly portable to take on any summer picnic or camping trip and the perfect treat to pack in a sack lunch. Did I mention I’ve included some healthier ingredients, so you can feel good about making a double batch and watching these disappear. Enjoy them guilt free and have s’more!

Recipe: NO BAKE S'MORES BITES

INGREDIENTS:

1 ½ cups oats

1 ½ cups rice cakes, crumbled (I used 2 no salt, gluten free rice cakes)

1 cup graham crackers, crushed

4 cups marshmallows, divided

2 Tbsp coconut oil

1 cup mini chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

1. In microwave safe bowl, add half of marshmallows and 2 tablespoons coconut oil. Microwave approximately 30 seconds, or until marshmallows puff up. Remove and stir.

2. In separate bowl, combine oats, rice cakes and graham crackers. Pour into the melted marshmallow mixture and stir until combined.

3. Let cool and then stir in chocolate chips.

4. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form into balls (bites) and place in container. You could also form these into bars, but I thought it was more fun to make them into bite-sized pieces.
