We were having some friends over for a little festive fall gathering this past weekend and since I now have a backyard, I wanted to fulfill my lifelong dream of sitting with friends on hay bales, around a bonfire, drinking wine.. like they do in the movies (granted, I feel like this is how all Horror movies start but it still looks like they are having a good time, you know, before they are hunted down by a crazed lunatic).
And apparently, I'm not the only one with this dream :)

(Note: I just had to say that not only does he love his PetSmart Fall Sweater but he was super excited for the Hay Bale Photo Shoot, so I don't want any emails about how I tortured my dog by dressing him up and making him pose for pictures. He LOVES it... well maybe not loves it.. but he sure loves the treats I give him afterwards!!) Since it is absolutely outrageous to sit by a fire and NOT eat S'mores, I made some goodie bags so everyone could enjoy a little fireside treat.
They were extremely cheap (and easy) to make even though I told people I slaved over them for days :) Shame, I know.
To make 35 treat bags, you will need : - 1 bag Hersey's candy bars - $2.29 (Target)
- 2 bags Reece's Peanut Butter Cups - $4.58 (Target)
- 1 package of 50 cellophane gift bags - $3.99 (party store)
- 2 boxes Graham Crackers - $4.98 (Aldi)
- 2 bag Marshmallows - $1.98 (Aldi)
For a grand total of :
$17.82 (before taxes, of course).
**I made the tags in Microsoft Word and saved the templates here if you want to use them**
Hopefully, we will get a couple more nice days before the "Winter of the Century" hits us... fingers crossed, I definitely need to use these hay bales a couple more times!!
