Not quite sure how to make the traditional campfire treat s'mores? Well here's the recipe to use when you hit the campsites with your family and friends!

The formula
It's hard to believe, but I had 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

Directions:
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 two 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 the market for an even sweeter treat.

Makes 24.

Sensational campfire s’mores

The Girl Scouts I go camping with always eat S'mores arounf the campfire.... When I was a little kid, my family went camping and we ate s'mores as a family too.
Your descriptions are very good in the recipe. I would add that the marshmellow should be "roasted" slowly to melt the inside but not the burn the outside.... It takes a lot of practice to get the marshmellow to exactly the correct temperature....but you can always eat the "mistakes"......

I've tried the peanut butter cup (mini? why mini?! go BIG!) on a chocolate-chocolate chip cookie- super decadent and sticky! I also suggest: oatmeal cookies; dark chocolate or Ghirardelli squares of any variety (very conveniently proportioned). or my pregnancy invention- toasted marshmallows and orange marmalade on a sourdough english muffin- it didn't help my heartburn any but it sure made me happy right then!!

A great variation of the tradional s'mores is instead of graham crackers use chocolate graham crackers and a bite-size peanut butter cup instead of the chocolate bar. Yummy!
