Easy Table Top S’mores!

Fall is in the air, and it’s a great time for backyard campfires. But, let’s simplify the process by making our own table top fire pits! This is so cute, and so easy – perfect for S’MORES!

All you need is:

{1} a solid terra cotta pot with base (any size you desire)

{2} some sand to fill the bottom (this prevents too much heat at the base)

{3} foil to create a lining

{4} charcoal

{5} marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers! YUM!!
