Recipe: Evan and Alexis eat up this mini s'mores recipe

"When your kids are pining for s'mores and a campfire is nowhere to be seen, let them whip up these yummy S'more Brownie Bites.

Evan Good, 5, and sister Alexis, 3, of Canton Township kid-tested this recipe because it is quick and fun to make. At their ages, their attention spans are short, but they love to cook and experiment in the kitchen.

Mom Heidi Good doubled the recipe so they had more to share.

Alexis enjoyed making the treats the most, while Evan couldn't wait to eat them. "It looks good already!" he said while stirring the batter.

It's hard for kids to resist nibbling on the s'more ingredients, so be prepared. For every one marshmallow Alexis pressed in the brownies, she would eat three. Evan, the chocoholic, ate five chocolate chips for every two he pressed in.

The s-mores were a hit, said their mom, Heidi Good. "It was like a little bit of up north right in our kitchen!"
