Sweet And Sara S’mores

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

No restaurant review today, just a little reminder to tell you to skip dinner and eat a Sweet And Sara S’more instead. Holy cats, these things are forking insane. I was all getting ready to talk to someone on the phone today and I took a bite of the S’more, thinking I could just talk on the phone and wait to take another bite. No. I emailed him and said I needed half an hour.

It’s a buttery toasty tasting graham cracker, with a big scoop of luscious marshmallow, all dipped in dark chocolate. Everything about it is just perfect. The marshmallow is the just right amount of fluffy and toothsome, and the sweetness is not cloying, it’s just enough to let you know that you’re indulging. These things are running 4.49 at Whole Foods, and I gotta’ say, even though I kind of almost put it back because of the price tag, they are worth it. There’s also a peanut butter flavor, but fork that - I think original is where it’s at.

I know that Sara worked her ass off to get this recipe just right, and bless her soul, she did it. Mazel tov, girl! Check the Sweet And Sara website for how to get them. I got mine at the Whole Foods on Houston Street.

In other non-local news, AngelFood of Auckland New Zealand will be selling a marshmallow making kit for 10 dollars NZ (not sure what that translates to here, and too lazy to google it). It sounds like fun and I’ll review it on the blog in a few weeks.
