Introducing... felt s'mores!

[Writer78]

I just love the felt cakes seen here:

After making several as gifts, I decided it was time I add to the catalogue of felt food (which also includes felt donuts - I don't have the link, but search Craftster if you want to see the brilliance!).  So I came up with the following...

felt s'mores!!!

You can get a better idea of the construction by looking at these:

I owe a big THANKS to Neliamne, who gave me the stretchy white fleece that I used for the marshmallow.  (I also thank her for the homemade pizza and the happy evening of DVDs and laughter!  I sewed the s'more while spending an evening with her and her hubby.)

Enjoy!

[teapotdnky]

Cute! You've inspired me!

[Sarie23]

That is really cute!! 

[bethntim]

That looks better than the real s'mores I make.  That is incredible, my jaw is dropped right now...

[crafty_cool]

cute! I've actually made one like that.

[bonbonz101]

Very clever! That's such a super idea ... I'll have to try some felt food creations 

[AmyAwesome!]

Soo cute !!! Yummy looking

[losingstreak]

Too cute! I love that you put it on a plate in the microwave to take a picture.

[sunnyb64]

Hee! I love s'mores!  What a fun idea!

[Fortune_32]

Your felt creations are so lovely! I too, enjoyed your microwave pic - it's so fun! I wonder what you'll come up with next, I really liked your dripping frosting touch to the felt cake craze! Great job! I was just about to make felt sushi for her (neliamne) before we had a sort of falling out (again  ), but your s'mores are just lovely! And no ooey-gooey mess or calories! LOL

That is so weird - I just came inside from making s'mores, signed on Craftster, found this, and nearly died 

That is wonderful - I will be trying this soon!

[Beadiegirls06]

i love those. i could just eat them up

[brooooke]

yum.  that would make a cute christmas tree ornament!

[RamenQueen]

Love it love it love it! I am in the process of making a tone of fake felt food, for my (2) two year old nieces for christmas . S'mores are now added to the list. P.S. If anyone has any veggie/fruits/meat/non-sweets felt food ideas plz let me know either on here or pm!

[Krysta]

That looks really good. Nice sewing job! All hand sewn? Yummy! I want s'mores now!

graham crackers, peanut butter, chocolate and marshmellows... what could be better than that?!

[Writer78]

yep, hand sewn.  They come together really quickly - it's a nice, easy task to work on while watching TV.  I worked on some more graham crackers yesterday, so now it's time for chocolate and marshmallow!

[ChloeisCrazy]

thats adorable!

[ElvenOne]

ooh, they look so tasty..!!! and so very cool..!

I have always wondered what they are... lol

what are graham crackers...? are they sweet..? or more savoury..?

[vanillaxlight]

ooh... now I really, really want a smore!

[mommys little badass]

mmmmmmm......smores .....(drooling)

Graham crackers don't have a strong taste; they are dry and have a very soft honey taste to them.  They are mostly used as a base for a more flavorful topping.  In the case of s'mores, you add a piece of chocolate bar and a toasted marshmallow (and I think some versions also include peanut butter).  Graham crackers on their own are a mild snack that you might give to a little child, but I would generally want at least some peanut butter on them.

hope that helps!   

and THANKS to all for the nice comments!!  I like to lurk and to swap, but I don't usually make up something new, so it feels great to get positive feedback on this.

Hmm i think i can think of something similar...... guess what Im buying to try tonight hehehe

oh, since the pic is going into the microwave..... is that how they are cooked..?

[Writer78]

They're traditiionally a campfire snack - you toast teh marshmallow over an open flame, then put it between the crackers (with teh chocolate also tucked in there) and let the heat of the marshmallow soften the chocolate.  To make them at home, I typically put the bottom cracker + chocolate in the microwave for several seconds to give the chocolate a bit of softness, then add the marshmallow on top and microwave for a few more seconds (watching to make sure the marshmallow doesn't expand so much that it makes a huge mess), then take it out and pop the second cracker on top and press down.

good luck!

I make smores on my stove, too. It was more difficult when we had an electric stove because I had to have the coils really hot, but now it's much easier with my gas stove. Just pop the marshmallow on something like a fork or a scewer and toast.
