It might still feel like 90+ degrees outside at two in the afternoon, but fall is about to start and the signs are slowly peeking out.  Since we are less than a week away from the official first day of fall, September 21st, everyone is gearing up for the change of season.  Once again, Pumpkins have begun to take over the world.  Everything has “cinnamon spice” as if cinnamon wasn’t a common ingredient used throughout the rest of the year.  Apples start to take center stage while the plums and peaches disappear.  For some reason you’ve decided to purchase clothes in shades of brown and burgundy.  Scarves become appropriate when you were in a bathing suit last week.

So, you are walking down the street in your new maroon wool scarf wearing your new leather boots sipping a pumpkin spiced latte and eating an apple cider doughnut, while a group of kids pass you in tank tops, jean shorts, and flip flops.  Because really, It’s 75 degrees outside.  We all might be at different stages of our seasonal change, but there is one thing that happens every year at this time that helps to bring the world a little closer together.

Perhaps it’s the tranquility of the leaves changing colors or the feeling of serenity you get when a brisk wind blows or maybe it’s simply the fact that Mallomars have returned.  Mallomars, the seasonal cookie that has features like a s’mores, but is not a s’mores, rejoins the world in the fall.  I love these cookies.  Oh, how I miss them so during the warm months.

I’ve been known (and by “known” I really mean, I’ve just done things and most likely no other people have ever taken notice) to eat my Mallomars in a few different ways.  Let me explain.

1.  The Bite – bite into the Mallomar like you would bite into any other cookie and eat it like a normal person.

2. The Twist and Separate – separate the bottom cookie from the marshmallow top by twisting the marshmallow slowly and then eating each side on its own.

3. The Shatter – press your finger on the top middle of the marshmallow so that the chocolate shell shatters into pieces and eat each piece of chocolate individually until the marshmallow is no longer covered in chocolate.

4. The Half Shatter – start The Shatter and get annoyed because the pieces broke too small so just pop the whole cookie in your mouth and get a new one.
