I couldn't resist this because it has so many of my favorite naughty treats--graham cracker, marshmallows, and pineapple. It's hard to go wrong with that combo. Very easy to put together. The finished product was much more whippy than I expected. It was a little soft actually, and it occurred to me to freeze it for a frosty hot-weather treat. It turned out very light and refreshing.
