How To Prepare The Perfect S’mores

Summer has come to an end, but fear not, Indian Summer is just around the bend offering us a taste of an extended summer for just a few more days. What better time than now to get friends together one last time for a Labor Day Party to bid farewell to summer. Maybe even start gathering ideas, and planning activities for the following summer. As the night falls, gather around a bonfire, prepare some S’mores and reminisce about what a splendid summer was had by all.

*Do you know how to prepare perfect S’mores?

Here are a few tips: a marshmallow is skewered on the end of a long stick and held just above the campfire until (according to personal preference) its outer surface starts to brown, char, or even catch fire. Once heated, the inside of the marshmallow becomes soft. The marshmallow is quickly pinched off its stick with the waiting graham crackers, one of which has a piece of chocolate on it (typically a section of a milk chocolate bar). Ideally, the heat from the roasted marshmallow partially melts the chocolate into a gooey mess. However, some people assemble the entire s’more on the stick and cook it all at once to ensure gooey chocolate. Some people add peanut butter to the mix for additional flavor. The peanut butter may be added between a graham cracker and the chocolate piece or between the chocolate piece and the marshmallow. Many s’more consumers will set the waiting graham cracker and chocolate near the campfire to help melt the chocolate.
