S'More Dip and Student Drivers

Over the past 15 years I have held many jobs (in addition to my regular career).  I studied and learned the occupations, practiced and practiced and now own a great amount of experience as a nurse, tutor, dental hygienist, cyclist, physical therapist, cake designer and expert book report grader.  I think every mom becomes experts in these fields at one time or another.

This week on New Year's Eve I officially signed my life away with the State of Colorado and have become an unofficial certified driving instructor.  My daughters completed their four grueling days of Drivers Education from the company Top Cops - one of the best training courses I have come across for teen drivers.  After they completed the program and took their written test, they officially became owners of their own Driver's Permit.


 As part of their next year in practicing their driving (and my training as a driving instructor), Top Cops came up with this great magnetic sign to put on your car, so as to forewarn any nearby drivers that we have teens at the wheel - brilliant!!

My new after market car accessory.
To celebrate the week's rite of passage, my daughter found this recipe for S'more Crack Dip.  Since it's too cold to make s'mores outside, this was the perfect combination with the same amazing sweetness, gooeyness and taste.

1 cup of milk chocolate chips
2 tbs of milk
1 1/4 cups mini marshmallows
Graham crackers for dipping


In a medium sauce pan add chocolate chips, milk and 1 cup of your mallows. Mix continuously over medium heat until melted and smooth. Using a rubber spatula, scrape chocolate mixture into a small casserole dish. Top with remaining mallows.

Place dish under you oven broiler for approximately 30 - 60 seconds or until the top has started to brown. 

Dip your graham crackers and enjoy!!    

The boys begging for "s'more".
