| - | S'mores are one of the very best campfire treats in the globe (correct immediately after pudgie pies) with gooey toasted marshmallow melting smooth and luscious milk chocolate thats nestled between two crisp pieces of graham cracker. YummmmI want one (okay, two or 3) appropriate now (even even though as I am writing this it is snowing outdoors and there is currently more than 2 feet of snow on the ground.)

| - | But, even though I have been brave and adventurous about attempting several variations of s'mores I am nonetheless a purist at heart. To me there is only 1 way to make them and the choice of the 3 ingredients necessary (marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers) is as important as the preparation process.

| |
| - | Marshmallows Very first of all, the marshmallows need to be fresh. Don't try to use up the half bag of marshmallows leftover from last year that are as tough as a rock. Crack open your wallet and devote a dollar or two on a fresh bag. Campfire brand marshmallows are greatest if you can discover them, but Kraft's are fairly excellent also. Acquire the huge ones. Dont mess about with the miniature marshmallows.

| - |
| |
| - | Chocolate - Theres only once option and that is a Hersheys milk chocolate candy bar - three pieces per smore.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Graham crackers - Honeymaid honey grahams are the ideal. Dont attempt to get creative and use the cinnamon flavored ones - theyre just yucky with smores.
| |

| |
| - | Preparing the smore is as essential as the substances. But let's speak about gear very first. In the "very good old days," just before restrictions on disturbing anything in nature at campgrounds and parks, if you wanted to toast marshmallows you went to a tree and broke off a lengthy skinny branch. You pushed your marshmallow on the branch and started toasting. That is what I did as a kid (I didn't go camping as a kid but we often toasted marshmallows more than the hot coals of our charcoal grill at property). It didn't matter that the marshmallow typically tasted faintly of tree sap nor did we ever stop to consider how many bugs or birds had touched that piece of wood and left factors on it that are far better left unsaid.

| - | There are now roasting forks readily available at any large discount retailer or sporting goods retailer with an outdoor/camping section. Get a hot dog fork instead of a marshmallow fork and skip the fancy retractable or folding ones. They have a tendency to retract or fold when you don't want them to. A hot dog fork works greater than a marshmallow fork simply because the two prongs are farther apart which tends to make it straightforward to roast two marshmallows at when and due to the fact they are normally longer than marshmallow forks. Plus, then you'll have a fork that can do double duty, roast marshmallows and cook hot dogs or sausages. You can get a excellent high quality hot dog fork for under $ten and at times for much less than $5.

| |
| - | Okay, let's get back to creating that s'more. Location a single or two marshmallows on the hot dog fork. Toast the marshmallow to a golden brown over the campfire, remembering to turn the marshmallow so its toasted on all sides, not just on the third of it thats closest to the fire. Discover that I didnt say to start it on fire and char it to unrecognizable blackness. Marshmallows are not meant to be ignited and charred to a crisp. If your campfire is shooting up three foot flames, wait. Marshmallow roasting is greatest done with the wood is ashy and has glowing embers, which indicates you will have a hot fire with very tiny flame.

| |
| - | Instantly transfer the marshmallow to a graham cracker half that has 3 pieces of Hersheys milk chocolate on it (or both marshmallows if you managed to get them each toasted with out losing one to the campfire and if you like a genuinely gooey s'more otherwise be a "sharer" and give the added marshmallow to an individual else). Making use of the other graham cracker half, squish the marshmallow so that it covers all the chocolate to start off melting it. Quit squishing when the marshmallow begins oozing out the sides of the graham crackers.

| |
| - | Then swiftly eat it just before a person steals it from you and enjoys the perfect smore you have made. Share the secrets of making smores with absolutely everyone you know and encourage them to practice otherwise you'll be spending all your campfire time producing s'mores for every person else and what fun is it to make them if you do not get to eat them?
| |
| - |
| |
| - | And if someone tells you that you can make a smore in the microwave that tastes just as good as a single created over a campfire, they are a liar or they have by no means had s'more made more than a campfire.
