TV-Off Tuesday - The Evolution of the S'More Cups

This TV-Off Tuesday I could not fail. I found a perfect recipe, S'More cups. There were few ingredients and all were Christopher approved, graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows. No pureed beets to be whipped all across the kitchen. There were only a few steps and it even incorporated counting for Christopher. A no stress recipe that we could have fun with. Here is the evolution of the s'more cups ... sounds ominous, because it was.




Christopher had fun counting out the 18 graham crackers, that turned into 9 because that is all that would fit in my mini-food processor.




This is Christopher re-enacting what would happen if he pushed the button without the lid on it. "A big mess."



Today we were not afraid of the noise of my mini-food processor. He actually had fun with this.



Mikayla doesn't really care for TV-Off Tuesday, not because there is no TV, but because she can't really participate.



Dad got home in time to participate. He got a spoon.




I thought Christopher would enjoy making the crust for the s'more cups, but he told me he did not want to get dirty. So this was my job. They look pretty promising. I'm pretty excited at this point.



My job also entailed putting in the chocolate chips. Christopher just ate his instead of putting them in the cups. Still excited - the chocolate is melting perfectly.



Christopher wanted me to take a picture of him eating his yogurt and I put the marshmallows on top and waited for them to toast. So excited for a yummy treat!



And then ... I took a peak and the marshmallows were expanding more than they were toasting.



Really expanding.



And they really didn't want to come out of the pan. My muffin pan may be forever covered in marshmallow.



Then there was the blob, on a paper plate that were to be my no fail s'more cups. They tasted really yummy. Christopher did not want to eat any of my no fail s'more cups. There's always next TV-Off Tuesday. It's a good thing I'm persistent stubborn.

This morning Christopher asked me what is special about Wednesday. I told him nothing, it's just plane old Wednesday. Mike would tell you it's "Wipe Down the Kitchen - Wednesday." Have fun with that, Dad.
