National Smores Day!!

Today is dedicated to a classic treat. One that symbolizes camp-fire fun, good times with family and friends, and late night bonding. The simple joy that that melting marshmallow, chocolately, graham cracker goodness brings is timeless and that is why August 10 is National S'mores Day.

For those who are unsure of what a smore is (blasphemy!) it is the simple sandwiching of a small piece of flat chocolate and a marshmallow between two graham crackers. The marshmallows are traditionally toasted over a fire since this little treat is a campfire classic.

The name is rumored to have come from the phrase "some more" and the first official recording of in a Girl Scouts manual.

Let's say you loves smores, but want some variation.
Here are some ideas:

1) Coat the inside of the graham crackers with peanut butter

2) Coat the insides of the graham cracker with nutella or replace the chocolate with a spread of nutella

3) Use different types of chocolate! Try out peanut butter chocolate, chocolate with nuts, or mint chocolate. Just remember the chocolate has to be thin enough to stay in the sandwich.

There are some more Smore Ideas at sugardoodle.net.

But what happens if you are nowhere near a campfire? You can use an oven, a microwave, or heck you can even put it all in a delicious crepe. We have a delicious Smore's Crepe that is a musthave in honor of National Smores Day.

So go off and celebrate the excuse to eat chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers all you want.

NYC Fair

Last Saturday, July 7th, Crepe Cafe participated in the NYC street fair from 14th street to 23rd on 6th avenue. From 12pm to 6pm venues lined up against the streets, ranging from clothing stands and accessories to even a place to get a quick massage, this street fair was complete from head to toe to stomach. It was food galore from 14th to 23rd, but on a hot summer day what everyone really needed was a cold drink. 

Crepe cafe had several smoothie stands outside, helping to refresh all the fair partakers. Fresh fruit sparkled on our tables along with mouth-watering watermelon cups. 

 

Our watermelon cups for $3.00 were really popular. Fresh fruit is sometimes the best way to cool off.  

Crowds of people. Hot weather. Cool smoothies. Pretty good for a summer day.

Thanks to all who worked, visited and enjoyed the street fair with us! We wish you all a fun and

amazing summer!

With Love,
