Camping Cuisine - S'mores!

No camping trip is complete without making s'mores. They are a huge hit with everyone and the kids love them. My husband is a pro marshmallow roaster so he is always put to work. The key to a good s'more is to place the chocolate on half of a graham cracker near the fire and let it heat up while you roast your marshmallows. Once you combine the marshmallows with the chocolate, it's melted and gooey and makes one excellent dessert.
  • Graham crackers
  • Hershey's chocolate bar
  • Large marshmallows

Place a bit of chocolate on half of a graham cracker and place on a rock near the fire.

Place two marshmallows on a large stick. Roast the marshmallows near a flame turning frequently so you don't burn them. Continue to roast until they are golden brown. Slide the marshmallows onto the chocolate and graham cracker, top with the other half of the cracker. Enjoy!

Patience is key to a perfectly roasted marshmallow

    I love camping and if it brings some s'mores my way it's even better :)

     

    Reese Peanutbutter Cups work very well too instead of plain chocolate bars.

     

    drool. i'm not a camper, but i think it's time to fire up the chiminea and s'more it up!

     

    Not a camper either... but I've got a grill and all the rest.. bye gonna go make some now! ;-)

     

    Aww man, burnt marshmallows are the best kind! I'm always the person around the campfire that 'disposes' of all the marshmallows everyone else burns. So delicious.

     

    yum... can you make me one too??

    I LOVE your recipes and photos! Thanks for sharing! I love smores, but not a fan of overly sweet desserts. I melt bittersweet chocolate and brush on salt-free saltines. When the chocolate has hardened, they are portable and perfect to toss in a plastic bag for camping for smores!
