Campfire S’Mores
by Cheri Sicard
It's hard to believe, but I never tasted a s'more until I was
an adult. I never got to be a girl scout, so the occasion never arose when I
was a kid. So if you're like I was and don't already know how to make this
classic camping treat, here's the formula:
Ingredients:
6 regular sized chocolate bars (Hershey bars are the classic choice, but use your favorite flat chocolate bar)
12 whole graham crackers, each split into 2 inch squares
24 large marshmallows
Makes 24
Roast marshmallows over the campfire, making them just as you need them
for each S'more (these treats are best consumed hot or at least, warm).
For each S'more place one roasted marshmallow and one small square of
chocolate between 2 graham cracker squares. Give it all a little squeeze
and take a bite!
Variations:
* Chocolate lovers may want to double the amount of chocolate.
* Try spreading the crackers with peanut butter before adding chocolate and
marshmallow.
* Cashew or almond butter or Nutella® (a chocolate hazelnut spread) also work well.
* Raspberry jam or preserves also make a great spread before adding marshmallow and chocolate.
Don't like chocolate? Try any of the above variations with white chocolate or Hershey's Cookies and Cream bars.
Don't forget to try the new chocolate graham crackers on market for an even sweeter treat.

Let's Get Cooking!
While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important
reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability
to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
