As a budding kitchen witch and with the economy out of control, I have taken on a self-proclaimed mission to lower my family’s grocery bill by making lunch box snacks for my bonus babies. While it is more time consuming, I am already seeing the benefits both financially and magically in creating delicious treats to tuck into their lunch boxes. Plus, it’s the perfect treat for spooky season when you’re having coffee by a bonfire on a crisp cool night. So let’s dive into one of our magically delicious Samhain recipe: S’mores Bites.
Everything from the selection of ingredients to the method of production. This particular recipe I’m going to share with you today is not only delicious but, it’s a treat that involves a lot of ingredients for attraction, abundance, prosperity, creativity, and fun. But the ingredients are only half of the equation. When I make these, I am doing so consciously – from the utensils I use to the direction in which I mix them to the shape that I choose to make them.
I highly recommend acquiring kitchen tools that speak to your kitchen witch aesthetic. It wasn’t until I did this that my kitchen felt like a place where magic could really happen. It seems silly but just having my wooden elemental spoons/utensils has inspired me to cook more often and to be more creative in my cooking and kitchen witching.
Whole Wheat Flour is an excellent ingredient for attracting prosperity and abundance into your life. It is of the planet Venus and the element of Earth.
Light Brown Sugar is an ingredient for unconditional, long-term love and healing. It’s an excellent ingredient to add when you want someone to remember that you love them no matter what and that you support them in their healing journey, whatever that may be.
Cinnamon is an excellent ingredient for prosperity, luck, success, healing, and love. It’s also very autumnal and warming so it will give your finished product the feeling of a warm hug when consumed.
Baking Soda helps the dough rise so in a magical sense, baking soda is symbolic of being able to rise to any occasion. It is also used for a wide variety of physical healing remedies.
Salt is a staple in a witch kitchen, or any kitchen for that matter. While it helps to give a little savory flavor, it is also a magical cleansing and purification ingredient. Adding it to your dishes encourages the body to purify itself from the inside out.
Butter helps to create the dough but by itself is an agent of the moon and feminine energy. Adding it to your creations adds a sense of nurturing, smooths over relationships, and helps change and transition to occur more seamlessly. What a great ingredient to add to lunchbox treats when your little ones may be having a hard time at school whether they are just starting school or have changed schools or are just getting involved in a brand-new activity.
Milk is again an ingredient of feminine energy and nurturing. After all, we have entire holy days dedicated to it – Imbolc anyone? This ingredient can help to soothe and calm, nurture, and reassure anyone that they are loved and cared for. You can also use it to invoke Brigid, a triple Goddess of healing, to bestow her blessings upon the finished product.
Honey comes from bees. Bees are well known for their team work ethic as well as their ability to stand up for themselves when required (look out for that stinger!). Honey, the byproduct of a bee’s work, is excellent from drawing what you want in life to you – including friends, money, and events you’re dying to participate in.
Vanilla Extract is a compulsion ingredient so your intent when using it is very important. It can create tighter bonds between yourself and others. However, it’s also a great ingredient to improve mental focus and concentration (this is why I love it for lunch box snacks!).
Water is the lifeblood of the earth, the human body, and spirituality. It is feminine in nature and connected to the Moon. It is symbolic of the divine womb. Adding water enhances creativity, fertility, and intuition.
Sugar, white sugar, is a well-known ingredient in sweet jars. That’s because it works like lightening. Adding white sugar brings fast love, communication, and brings back friends or lovers on a better note with whom you’ve previously had arguments. It is a sweetening agent, not only in food but in life.
Corn Syrup (Glucose Syrup) is used in a lot of candied dishes to solidify or harden the final result. In magic, either of these is an excellent ingredient to add when you want to encourage a stronger will, moral compass, or sense of value. It is also a sweetening agent and has attraction properties as well.
Egg Whites are the womb to the yolk that will become the baby chick. Eggs have SO many uses in magic that there is no way I could list them all. However, being that the white is symbolic of the womb, this ingredient again adds a nurturing, feminine energy to the final product. NOTE: Oomancy (egg reading) has been a divinatory practice for centuries. I like to separate my whites from my yolks into a bowl and then look into the whites to see if any images appear that may be messages from the divine as I’m baking. It’s just an extra witchy practice I like to weave into my kitchen witchery.
Cream of Tartar is actually a residue that is left in wine barrels after fermentation. However, it is used in baking with egg whites to increase their volume and to ensure other products don’t deflate, like whipped cream. This ingredient is great to pump someone up. It enhances their sense of self and their sense of self-worth.
Vanilla Extract we already covered this one, see above!
Milk Chocolate Melts is again another ingredient tied to the feminine and nurturing qualities of magic. It is also of the elements of water and earth. This adds love, nurturing, balance, fun, and raises emotional energy to the final product it’s added to.
In addition to being one of our favorite Samhain recipes, these lunchbox treats are woven with lots of intentions aimed at school aged kids to facilitate positive friendships, communication skills, mental focus, nurturing, love, smooth transitions, and to help guide them in a positive direction when their parents or caregivers can’t be present. It’s definitely part of the reason I chose to make them for my bonus babies in addition to their deliciousness.
I can’t take credit for the creation of the recipes as I did find them on the internet, but I also created the s’mores bites by combining these recipes. The original recipes will be referenced below to give credit where credit is due.
You’ll have to make this recipe in three parts, beginning with the homemade graham crackers then the marshmallow cream, and ending with the outer chocolate coating. Please save/print each part of this 3-part Samhain recipe.
Grab a butter knife and slather marshmallow cream in the center of a graham cracker or all over, whichever you prefer. Place another cracker over top to make a sandwich. Then you are going to dip it into the bowl of melted chocolate so that the chocolate covers half of the cookie. WA-LA! You’ve made a S’mores Bite. You can place the S’more onto your cookie sheet with baking paper to cool. Once you have a full tray of s’mores bites, place them in the fridge for 20 minutes for the chocolate to full harden.
For storage, I like to individually wrap the cookies and place them in a container that will be stored in the fridge until I’m ready to pop them into the kid’s lunch boxes. I used parchment paper to wrap them, but you can use beeswax wraps or any other method you’d like to keep them fresh. You can also use this opportunity to write a little note on the wrapping or even draw a protective sigil. Also, you’ll want to place the remaining marshmallow cream into your pint jar. It will keep fresh for 2-3 weeks. I used a recycled peanut butter jar I had laying around, but you can use canning jars or whatever you have on hand. The thing to remember here is that it should be airtight.
