How to Make Smores

Remember singing scout songs around a blazing campfire with all of your friends on a hot summer night when the stars were sparkling? Probably you made Smores -- a delicious treat that is so rich you only need one but you'll want Smore.

Things You'll Need

• A blazing campfire
• 1 bag of large marshmallows
• 1/2 milk chocolate candy bar per person
• 1 box Graham crackers
• Long forks or sharpened sticks

Instructions

1. Place one marshmallow on the end of a long cooking fork or sharpened stick. If you are using a stick, make sure that it is green and that you have stripped the bark off and whittled the end so that the marshmallow can be skewered on for its whole length.

2. Roast the marshmallow by holding the stick or long cooking fork over the fire but not in the flames. The marshmallow will expand as it heats. Unless you place the marshmallow directly into the flame, after several minutes it will begin to brown. The outside of the marshmallow will get somewhat crispy. Keep the marshmallow cooking until you like the result. Be careful not to let the marshmallow overcook because it can burst into flames. Of course, if you like char-broiled marshmallows, let it catch fire and then blow it out for a blackened result.

3. Snap a Graham cracker in half along the scored line in the middle of the cookie.

4. Unwrap the chocolate bar. Snap off a piece that is the same size as one half Graham cracker. Place the candy on top of one of the Graham crackers.

5. Position the hot marshmallow so that it touches the chocolate. Cover the marshmallow with the other half of the Graham cracker so that it looks like a sandwich. Hold both pieces of the Graham cracker and push gently. The hot marshmallow will melt into the chocolate on one side. It will also melt into the top Graham cracker. Once it melts a bit, gently pull the stick or the long cooking fork off of the marshmallow. Voila the Smore - ready to eat. Don't forget to lick your fingers before making your next one.

Tips & Warnings

• Never leave young children unsupervised around an open fire.

• Have a bucket of water nearby so that you can quench any sparks that escape.
