Artisan S’mores

Imagine yourself, sitting by the campfire, your family, maybe some close friends sitting by, that wonderful smell of campfire in the air, marshmallow roster in hand preparing one of America’s favorite summertime snacks. I speak of course of the s’more, who doesn’t love biting into a delicious sandwich of Gram Cracker, marshmallow, and most importantly, chocolate! But wait, what if we could make it better? Ridiculous you say? I say let’s try it . . . actually I already did, and it totally works. The Idea is simple, (actually my wife stole it, from an add in a grocery store, but don’t tell anyone) I started out by adding fresh cut strawberry’s right on top of my marshmallow, It was every bit as delicious as that sounds like it should be. Here is where things got dangerous though, I started thinking, what if I melted the chocolate first, so I promptly grabbed a Dove brand chocolate and tossed it on the fire (due to the fact that Dove chocolates are packaged in individual aluminum wrappers, this works quite well, just don’t try to grab it with your bear hands when you take it off). I then roasted my marshmallow and proceeded to assemble my s’more, very artfully squeezing a steam of chocolate all over my strawberry. The results follow.

Now I think this idea could be taken even further, try using chocolate gram crackers with a white chocolate sauce, or maybe different fruit. Use your imagination and get creative, who knows what could happen. what every you do, give this a try before summer runs out!
