Love is in the air when Hollywood arrives in Mermaid Bay, and the town may never be the same.
Fans will do almost anything to get a glimpse of the actors or a chance to be an extra in the Love Channel’s “My Coastal Valentine.” Crowds flock to the cozy beach town from all over and business is booming for Christmas shop owner, Jade Hicks until the body of a testy reporter is found in one of the actors rooms. And if murder isn’t bad enough, someone tries to kill the show’s star, hunky Raphael Allard.
The cozy little beach town feels cursed, as the Love Channel threatens to pull out of the project. Jade and the gang, Lorelei, Peppermint Patti, Bernie, Chloe, and Neville the Devil Cat, have to solve the crimes before it ruins the town’s reputation and breaks the hearts of fans across the country.

Aunt Lorelei’s Cookie S’mores

Ingredients:

1 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon of baking powder

¼ teaspoon of baking soda

¼ teaspoon of salt

8 tablespoons of unsalted, softened butter

½ cup of sugar

8 graham crackers (crushed) – This should be about one cup full.

1 large egg

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

12 large marshmallows (cut in half)

24 Hershey’s Kisses (unwrapped)

Parchment paper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with the parchment paper. Mix the flower, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Then using a mixer, beat the sugar, butter, and half of the crushed graham crackers on medium for about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour.

In a dish, pour the rest of the crushed graham crackers. Roll the dough into 1 ¼ inch balls and roll them in the dish of crushed graham crackers for coating. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool the cookies on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.

Heat your oven’s broiler. Put a marshmallow half in the center of each cookie. It looks better if you put the cut side face down. Broil cookies for 30-45 seconds until the marshmallows are brown. Put the hot cookies on a wire rack and put a chocolate candy in the center of each marshmallow. The candy and marshmallow should melt on top of the cookie.
