Originally posted by WPRESTO To make smores: split a standard graham cracker into two squares; place a square of dark chocolate on one of them (Giardelli makes squares of ideal size); toast a marshmallow until it puffs up and starts to turn brown; hold the melty mallow against the chocolate with the second graham cracker square as you pull out the stick used to toast it. Press the second cracker down on the marshmallow to spread it out slightly; pick up the whole thing like a little sandwich and eat. The hot marshmallow will partially melt the chocolate making the entire assemblage a sticky-finger mess, but yummy
. My family never made smores that I can remember, which my wife's family considered a dreadful gap in my experience and education. They enthusiastically corrected the neglect, to my delight.
be aware, depending on the age of the child, you might have to deal with " issues " ranging from
hot melted marshmallows on nylon jackets or skin,
sharp items being poked at others
short chases with flaming " torches "
and fights over the best " roasting " spots
otherwise, just good clean fun
