This post was sponsored by Hello Happy. Hello Hershey’s, as part of an Ambassador Activation for Influence Central.
The first day of summer is here! I love this time of year. Trips to the beach, picnics and my daughter is out of school. She’s my buddy and we really love hanging out together. She’s over at a friends house for the weekend, so I decided to surprise her when she gets home. I’m making her favorite summer cookies. HERSHEY’S Kisses S’mores Cookies.
This Summer, HERSHEY’S is facilitating Hello Happy Moments to show families that they can choose happiness anywhere, at any time. Whether it’s sharing a HERSHEY’S chocolate bar after dinner, baking your daughters favorite, delicious treat on a Sunday afternoon or a dance off. Families can choose to find happy moments each and every day.
I knew that my daughter was going to love that I was surprising her and nothing makes me happier than seeing her smile. I hope that my recipe can bring some happiness to you and your family this summer. They’re easy and fun!
