I learned the following "recipe" from my good friend Brandoliya back in college. It opened a whole new world of S'mores to me, so I thought I would share in case anyone was headed out to that last camping trip before the weather turns too cold.
To make the Perfect S'mores you need:
Marshmallows (large)
Chocolate
Graham Crackers
A roasting stick (plus some kind of knife to widdle your stick the way you like)
A rock, or other hard surface to set next to the campfire
A Campfire
Now, the key to the Perfect S'more is patience - It's all about slow cooking.
Lay the rock next to the fire and place your bottom graham cracker on it with a small piece of chocolate, thus allowing the chocolate to melt a little. It may be necessary to rotate occasionally your chocolate & cracker so the heat is evenly distributed. As you are doing this, pierce your marshmallow with your stick and slowly roast it on the coals of your fire. It is very important that you do not try to roast over the flames-- you need the low heat of the coals. Once your marshmallow is completely browned, your chocolate should be nice and soft. Simply place the marshmallow on the graham and chocolate bottom and top it off with another graham cracker. Give the marshmallow and chocolate a moment to mingle, then enjoy. YUM!
Believe me, it is worth the wait and you will never again say, "I don't really like S'mores that much."
