Twisted Braid!

                                     Start off with two sections of hair.
                        You don't have to do this in a pony tail;
                                  you can use all your hair.

Twist the two sections in the same direction.

Twist the two sections together in the opposite direction.

Tie off.

No Heat Curls!

You'll want your hair damp for this.

First, your going to braid your hair all over

your head - smaller braids for tighter curls, bigger

braids for bigger curls.

It's okay if your hair is a little messy.

Go to sleep, and when you wake take out the

braids. It should look something like this.

S'more Cookies!

These are the ingredients you'll need:

powdered sugar, Hershey bars, graham crackers,

marshmallows, and butter.

Mix the powdered sugar, butter,

and graham crackers together.

Push the graham cracker mixture into a cupcake pan.

Cook it for about 2-4 minutes. Set one or two

Hershey bars on the graham cracker crust.

Set half a marshmallow on the chocolate.

Cook for 4-5 minutes.

Finished cookie.

Ingredients:

7 whole graham crackers (equals 1 cup), finely crushed
1/4 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
2 milk chocolate candy bars (I used hershey's), divided into rectangles
12 large marshmallows, cut in half

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Finely crush the graham crackers into crumbs, using whatever method you want. I used my slap chop, but a food processor would work or even putting them in a plastic bag and smashing.
Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and melted butter into a small bowl.
Evenly divide crumb mixture into each cup of a 24 cup mini muffin pan, grease slightly before using. Press crumbs down to form shallow cups.
Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling.
While that's baking, break the candy breaks into the divided rectangle pieces. Also cut the marshmallows in half using a scissors that has been sitting in cold water.
Remove the pan from the oven and place one chocolate rectangle into each cup.
Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup.
Return to oven for 2-4 minutes or until marshmallows are just slightly softened.
If you'd like the tops to be brown, turn the oven to broil, and broil the s'mores bites for 1-2 minutes.
Cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan.
