9. Summertime calls for s’mores

Summertime calls for S’mores! Who doesn’t love ooey gooey marshmallows sandwiched between two graham crackers and some melted chocolate? This classic dessert has been loved by generations, and it’s always a staple at summer camp-outs.

Here are some tips for making awesome S’mores:

1. Start with the highest quality ingredients you can get. Use fresh marshmallows, good-quality chocolate bars, and nut-free graham crackers.

2. Toast the marshmallows over the fire. Turn them gently with a skewer or a stick until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. If you don’t have access to a campfire, you can use a kitchen torch or the broiler setting on the oven.

3. Assemble the S’mores off the heat. Place a piece of chocolate or reeces cup on a graham cracker, top it with a toasted marshmallow, and sandwich it with the second graham cracker.

4. Enjoy! S’mores are best when they are still warm and gooey. But if you want them even gooier, put them in the oven for a few minutes to melt the chocolate even more.

So fire up the campfire and let’s make some amazing S’mores
