Please Sir, I want S'more

Ok, that was a bad pun, considering that this has more to do with S'mores than Charles Dickens.

This little guy was inspired by the A Beautiful Mess post about fancy S'mores. I love the idea to use fun-sized candy bars as the chocolate!  My roommate and I were talking about how we missed the entire s'mores/bonfire season even though we live in SD!

  1. This is definitely the cutest thing I've seen all day (it's currently 23:02 pm so that's definitely an achievement). I love the little face!

  3. This is completely cute! I crocheted one up to celebrate National S'more Day. I enjoyed creating my S'more Friend - and I didn't even have to worry about the calories. HAhaHA
