About S’mores

S’mores are a beloved classic campfire treat that has become an iconic symbol of outdoor gatherings and summer fun. They consist of three simple ingredients: graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. To make a s’more, a marshmallow is toasted over an open flame until it becomes golden and gooey. It is then sandwiched between two pieces of graham cracker, along with a piece of chocolate, which melts from the warmth of the marshmallow.

The result is a deliciously sweet and slightly gooey dessert that combines the crunchy, slightly sweet graham crackers with the soft, melty marshmallow and the rich, creamy chocolate. S’mores are often enjoyed during camping trips, backyard bonfires, or even made indoors using alternative methods such as a stovetop or oven. They are a nostalgic and delightful treat that brings people together to create lasting memories around the fire.

Ingredients:

8 graham cracker squares (4 whole graham crackers, broken in half)
4 large marshmallows
4 pieces of chocolate (such as milk chocolate bars or chocolate squares)

Instructions:

1. Prepare your campfire, fire pit, or grill for cooking. Ensure you have a safe and controlled flame for toasting the marshmallows. If you don’t have access to an open flame, you can use alternative methods like a stovetop or oven broiler.

2. Break the graham crackers in half to form squares. This will give you a total of 8 graham cracker squares.

3. Place a piece of chocolate on one of the graham cracker squares. Choose your preferred chocolate type and size. Traditional choices include milk chocolate bars or chocolate squares.

4. Skewer a marshmallow onto a long skewer or roasting stick. Hold the marshmallow over the open flame, keeping it a safe distance from the fire. Rotate the skewer slowly to evenly toast the marshmallow until it turns golden brown and becomes soft and gooey on the inside. Take care not to burn the marshmallow.

5. Once the marshmallow is toasted to your liking, carefully remove it from the skewer and place it on top of the chocolate on the graham cracker square.

6. Top the marshmallow with another graham cracker square to create a sandwich. The heat from the toasted marshmallow will slightly melt the chocolate.

7. Repeat the process to make the remaining s’mores.

8. Serve the s’mores immediately while the marshmallow is still warm and gooey, allowing the chocolate to melt and meld with the other ingredients.

Tips for S’mores

1. For a classic s’more, opt for milk chocolate bars or chocolate squares. However, feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate, such as dark chocolate or flavored chocolate, to personalize the flavor.

2. If you don’t have access to an open flame, you can toast the marshmallows using alternative methods. Place them on a baking sheet and broil them in the oven for a few minutes until they turn golden brown.

3. Be careful when handling the toasted marshmallow as it will be hot and sticky. Use caution when removing it from the skewer to avoid burns.

4. Feel free to get creative with your s’mores by adding other ingredients. Consider adding sliced bananas, peanut butter, Nutella, or caramel sauce for extra flavor and variety.
