S’mores
Is there anything more iconic than campfire s’mores in the summer?!? They are just the best!
The phrase ‘marshmallow squares’ is a holdover from Michael’s AAC. Programming contractions like ‘s’mores’ was tricky, so we used other phrases to get the idea across. I know someone might confuse this for rice Krispie treats, but we did the best we could.
So, if you meet Mikey someday and he asks you for a marshmallow square, light up the campfire, my friends. It’s time for s’mores!!
