Smores fit for THE King

I love Elvis. This does not embarrass me. When I went to Memphis for work, my parents came along and we loved every second. We took a trip to Graceland (on our break for air from ridiculous amounts of ribs) and it was just as fantastic as I imagined it would be. I am forever trying to make Elvis-themed foods, but no one else is as into it as I am. Sarah and Luis invited us camping in Shenandoah for Labor Day so Mark and I packed up a headed out (well...we had to buy a tent and borrow Kelaine's air mattress first). I googled "gourmet smores" and the first thing I came accross was a make-your-own-smores-bar. One of the proposed Smores was called an Elvis Smore. I knew it would be magical. Bananas, Reeses Cups, grahams and melted mallows. Yeah...this just happened and it was amazing! Note: Smore are best consumed at night, around the fire. Since you can't photograph these beauties at night, I got up and made one for breakfast after eating about 11 for dessert the night before. I was in Elvis Heaven!

  2. How helpful is this post for your PB&B-loving roommate? Yes, I have short hand for peanut butter and banana. When I passed this link to Alex, his reply was "Done and done." These are obviously happening on our camping trip this weekend.
