If you know me, you understand that I am a planner. I can't just "have a party." I plan everything; from the food, to seating, to party takeaways, to invites. So when we decided to have our house-warming party (seven months after we moved in), I did all of that. And then some.

This post gives you a look into the Belmont Bash. Yes, I made invitations, and yes, there were party favors. I'm not only proud of our little home, I'm pretty proud of the party we threw to celebrate it. Included in this post is the recipe for the party favors: dipped s'mores.

Scroll through and enjoy the photos. The recipe is at the bottom.

Thanks for stopping by!

I made homemade Chex Mix and homemade hummus, served with pita, for our guests. Easy snack foods!

This was the goody-station. We served hard cider, beer and wine, and the snacks here.

I assembled the party treats the night before, so they were ready to go when guests arrived.

You could also use dark chocolate for a rich, indulgent treat.

Used this awesome aluminum bucket and made a cute sign.

For the Dipped S'Mores:

Ingredients:
Jumbo marshmallows, 2 bags
Hershey's chocolate, melted
Sprinkles
Graham Crackers, 2 boxes
Sandwich bags (The ones that don't have the zip)
Ribbon

Directions:
1. Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe container. Meanwhile, line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. Carefully dip the edge of a marshmallows in the chocolate. Immediately sprinkle with your favorite sprinkles. Set the un-dipped side down on the parchment paper. Repeat until all marshmallows are dipped and sprinkled.
3. Allow the chocolate to harden completely. I set mine in the fridge to speed up the process. Once hardened, place one marshmallow and one graham cracker (broken in half) in a sandwich bag, tie with a ribbon to seal.

Note: I used the jumbo marshmallows because they are SO much fun! But feel free to use regular size 'mallows.
