August is, as is traditional for Cookie Thursday is a Thing, No Heat Month.
Of course, you wouldn’t know that by the weather this past four days.
Rainy, humid, slightly cooler.
Slightly.
It is tradition, as I’ve said, for August to be the month where I do not turn on my oven.
Like, at all.
With the Thursday before the start of school for most of the schools around here on August 21 and the department has an ice cream social on that day, that leaves me only 3 CTIATs.
This week is a Rice Krispies knock off. Well, the same recipe with a different cereal.
What is more summer late night than s’mores?
Not much.
You know when the temperature is a bit cooler in the evenings but still dark enough to see the fireflies? Yeah, that.
And what goes best with summer late night around a campfire?
S’mores.
I happened upon a Malt-O-Meal bagged S’more cereal. Graham cracker cereal, mini marshmallows, and chocolate balls. Perfect for a Rice Krispies knock off.
But, me being me, I added chocolate chips as I was stirring in the cereal.
Because why not?
