Then I combined it with ice cream and I kicked myself for missing out on such a treat. I've definitely had s'mores.Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342077127310264989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-12022083598948039932012-06-04T16:35:48.631-05:002012-06-04T16:35:48.631-05:00Thank you, Lan!
