Daily Idea #102: S’mores

S’mores are a key summer food that our family absolutely loves. We even found gluten free graham crackers for my one child who has a gluten issue so we can all enjoy this delicious treat.

One thing I always thought had to be true was that you had to eat s’mores around a campfire which really dampened my view on the dessert when campfires are not readily available. Then I realized that a stove or a non scented candle can have the same effect to toast that marshmallow (or get it to that nice charcoal black if you really like the burnt sugar).

So this afternoon, we are going to make s’mores. We are going the traditional route of the graham, chocolate, and marshmallow sandwich but you can crush your graham crackers in to a pie crust (just add about a tablespoon of butter to get it to stick together), melt your chocolate to pour it on for the first layer, and decorate the top with the marshmallows, then put it under the broiler for 30 seconds-1 min.
