National S'mores Day Create a nutty inspiration with @SanteNuts #smoresday

 National S'mores Day is Sunday, August 10th and SanteNuts is challenging you to make dish  inspired by recipe from George Duran (recipe and video: https://santenuts.com/blog/ah-summertime)

About the company

Santé Nuts makes 9 different flavors of spiced and candied pecans, almonds, walnuts, cashews and pistachios.  What makes them  unique is a special roasting method that 

allows for less absorption of oil into the nut, so you get a healthy product with an addictive balance of sweet, savory, spice, and crispy crunch.  The nuts come in re-sealable pouches for cooking and baking, and 200-calorie single-serve packs for on-the-go snacking and gifting.  All of the nuts are gluten-free, peanut-free, vegan, non-GMO and perfectly sized for the gym bag, office desk or purse.  Flavors range from spicy chipotle almonds to sweet

candied pistachios,<--my favorite!  There’s a flavor for every palate.  

Our family was up for the challenge and we made our version of the S'mores --Mini Marshmallows, Chocolate Nutella Spread and Candies pistachios in a sugar cone- balanced them in a coffee mug and melted in the microwave for 35 seconds! SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

Our next baking day we're going to give the Double-Strawberry-Cinnamon Pecan Bread a try!!

Will you take the S'mores Day Challenge??? (like we really NEED an excuse to make s'mores!)  What nut will your family enjoy??

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

how EZ this is to make  they can be topped with an assortment of goodies...










When I made mine I used strawberries and mini M's I found the recipe over at MOMFILES.com

What I really like about the individual cakes is each person

can add what ever topping they prefer.

Heres the recipe:

Add eggs, one at a time until well incorporated and then vanilla extract. Fill each cup with cheesecake mixture.
