How to make the best s'mores ever!
Summer in Canada usually means
camping (at least it does for me) and so I spent part of last week camping in
Algonquin Park in Ontario. It was my 4-year old son's first time camping and he loved it. As we packed up (in the rain) on our last day, he was crying and saying he wanted to
camp forever! One part of camping my son enjoyed the most was roasting "smarshmallows" and eating
s'mores - the classic campfire treat. I have mixed feelings about s'mores - I am not a huge fan of graham crackers (they can be really dry) and sometimes the chocolate is not fully melted - but the
toasted, gooey marshmallow gets me everytime! My brother taught me this great
trick for the perfect s'mores - it changed my mind about s'mores, and I ate way too many of them!
At our camp site, we were lucky enough to have a fire pit with a small grate on one side. He put a folded piece of
heavy-duty tin foil on the grate, and placed the 2 graham crackers, one with 2 squares of chocolate on it, on the foil to
warm and melt the chocolate.
Once you have
expertly toasted the perfect
marshmallow, sandwich it between the warmed graham crackers.
By warming the graham crackers and chocolate, the marshmallow stays warm, the
chocolate oozes and you have the perfect campfire treat.
Just try eating only one...I dare you!
