Camping out at home this weekend? Don't forget the S'Mores!

Categories: Fun & Activities, Eating & Nutrition

I'm not really a Great Outdoors kind of girl; I'm more of an Air Conditioning and Running Water type. But while I don't love camping, I DO love S'Mores (really who DOESN'T?) so you can imagine my delight at learning that I can make them right in my own back yard!

You know, close to the running water and AC.

You can find the classic S'Mores recipies at the Hershey web site, including a microwave variation (although microwaving graham crackers can result in soggy S'Mores, just so you know). Of course, the traditional S'More is made with a marshmallow that has been toasted over a campfire, but if the idea of handing your child a stick and telling him to stand next to an open flame makes your heart skip a beat, don't worry! You can make S'Mores at home, on the grill, which pretty much guarantees that no one will get scorched.

You will need the following: marshmallows, the big ones (not the minis), graham crackers , a chocolate bar (we use the GIGANTIC Hershey bars, not the typical individual bars), tin foil, barbecue grill.

Cut a piece of tin foil that is about twice the size of the graham cracker -- it should be large enough to completely wrap the uncooked S'More up. Assemble the pieces on the foil: graham cracker, chocolate pieces, marshmallo, second graham cracker. Wrap it all up in a neat little foil package; put the package on the preheated grill, either on the top rack (if you're using a gas grill) or as far from the center as possible (if you're using a charcoal grill). Heat for about five minutes, unwrap and serve.

So simple and so delicious.
