I read in Sunset this month, Nov 2008 about it. I thought how great to give gifts of smores ... homemade marshmallows and chocolate and grahams. So I grabbed my 8 and 13 year old and we pulled up the video. We all watched together and bought all the ingredients needed today. Now we are thinking about dipping our grahams in chocolate as well. Wish us luck! We live in Sacramento and I look forward to visiting your shop in the city! Thank you! Oh my goodness, how dang adorable is this video! I read in Sunset this month, Nov 2008 about it.

I put them in pink swirly transparent bags instead. Yum!
