It’s summertime! It’s S’mores time. My senior year in high school the summer after we graduated my friend Beckie and I literally made s’mores almost nightly at her parents house in the backyard with a mini bonfire. I would drive my car into the next town and every night we would roast and eat. I loved it. I love s’mores so much I have an entire Pinterest board full of s’mores recipes. I love trying new recipes out although I have to admit I almost always alter them…I may have a control issue.

S’mores Crockpot Cake

1 Box of chocolate cake mix

ingredients listed on your cake mix box

1 Box of graham crackers

1 Bag of Mini Marshmallows

1 cup of Chocolate Chips

Spray the inside if your crock pot with cooking spray. In a bowl mix the wet ingredients on your cake mix box with your cake mix box dry ingredients. Poor mix into crockpot. Add two layers of graham crackers-whole- on top of the cake mix,sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the graham crackers, and add a layer of marshmallows covering the chocolate chips-I would be liberal with the mallows-the more the merrier.

Cook on low for 2.5-3 hours! The best kind of summer cooking is crock pot-no heat in your kitchen!

This was awesome and Row loved helping by throwing things in the crock. This cake would also taste great over ice cream. What’s you favorite summer treat?

Disclaimer: I would love to take those amazing food pictures where everything is ultra beautiful but the reality is I have a threenager-keeping it real. Happy week!

I’ve been feeling the need to bake more often and try out new things! Apparently Row is feeling it because she has been asking to make cake most days. She helps with all the steps and mixing and putting in a little love. We love this poke cake because it’s easy. You can use any combination or variety so the combinations are endless. This last one we made was a cookies and cream poke cake.

Ingredients:

1 Box of Jello Instant Pudding Mix-the big box

1 Box of Cake Mix

You will also need milk for the pudding and eggs, water and oil for the cake mix as called on per the box recipe.

Mix your box cake using the recipe from the box. Bake your cake mix in a 9×13 pan. Allow to cool for twenty minutes. Once cool take a straw and poke holes throughout the cake-hence the name poke cake.

Mix your pudding using the recipe on the pudding box. Once the pudding has been mixed pour your pudding over the top of your cake to serve as the icing. Cover your cake and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Once the pudding sets you can either store the cake out of or in the fridge-whichever you prefer.

This cake is super easy and always tastes great! The pudding also helps keep the cake moist.

This one is definitely kid friendly to make and eat! Which kind would you make? We had chocolate cake and cookies and cream pudding-yum!
