I’d have to turn in my cooking card if at some point I didn’t talk about the most iconic of all camp foods – S’mores. Thank you Girl Scouts – who came up with this back in the 1920’s and have made millions of campers very… well… happy campers!
There is even a National S’mores Day (August 10) – who knew?
With S’mores you can go traditional, or you can go high-falutin. Google “smores” and you’ll get more than 8 MILLION results!
If by chance you have never had one, or actually need a recipe – here’s the wiki-how on s’mores: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-S’more
We have tried a few frilly editions – rice crispy treats and peanut butter cups (really, really sweet). Here are a few more: http://mentalfloss.com/article/58257/11-creative-smores-combinations-national-smores-day
We usually go traditional – graham crackers, chocolate, toasted marshmallows. Note to campers – store your chocolate in the fridge or in your cooler. Just saying…
Everyone has their own style of s’mores making… Darryl likes the ‘brown but not burnt” marshmallow approach. I’m more of a burnt marshmallow kind of gal. I tend to overdo the chocolate – but even I admit that less is more when it comes to s’mores.
Did you know that s’mores go great with red wine?
Every good camping dinner ends with a few s’mores…
