I have a niece who has never liked sweets from the time she was a baby. The one exception is smores – she LOVES smores. Any time they visit us during cold weather, I make sure to have all the ingredients on hand so they kids can roast marshmallows in the fireplace to make smores. This Christmas I crocheted her a Smores Pillow. It turned out so cute!
