Mmmm...S'mores!!

If you have never had a "s'more", you have no idea what you are missing! S'mores are not just for camping. You can have s'mores anytime you want (I actually had some last night)! Know what the name s'more comes from? First of all, it is a contraction for "some more". But the origin of the s'more is very interesting. Check it out here.

A s'more consists of graham crackers, marshmallows, and a chocolate bar. What more could you ask for?!


The best s'mores are those in which a marshmallow is roasted over an open fire, then placed in between two graham crackers with a piece of chocolate (I use 1/3 of a Hershey bar). However....if you do not have an open fire, there are several other ways to make a s'more. Here is how you assemble it (if not using an open fire):


Once assembled, you can do one of three things (if you know of more ways, let me know!):

1) Microwave it! (10 seconds)
2) Wrap it in foil and toss it on the grill (5-10 minutes, depending on how hot grill is)
3) Wrap it in foil and toss it in 350 degree oven (this takes too long!)

The end result is a yummy, chocolately, marshmallowy, crunchy, messy, gooey treat that you will eat so fast you will want "s'more"!! :)

My ex bfriend and I would heat the marshmallow on the stove top (with the non-flat surfaces) and then put the the smore together. This worked really well!
