S'Mores

Making S'mores - either indoors or out - requires constant adult supervision. These scrumptious treats have only three ingredients - graham crackers, marshmallows and thin chocolate bars - like the traditional Hershey bar.

If you can, build a fire outdoors like you would for a barbecue. Purchase ahead of time long skewers for toasting marshmallows. (At most grocery stores this time of year, you can buy long bamboo sticks, especially designed for toasting marshmallows.) After marshmallow is toasted, place on top of 1/2 of a graham cracker that is topped with a piece of chocolate bar. Then cover the marshmallow with another half of graham cracker to make a sandwich.

If you can't build a fire, s'mores can be made in the microwave. For each kid, place on a small paper cake plate the following: 1/2 of a graham cracker, one piece of chocolate to fit (or nearly fit) the cracker and two marshmallows. Microwave for 20 seconds. Microwaves vary, so test timing ahead of time. Your microwave may need more or less time.

S'mores are MESSY. Have plenty of napkins and wet wipes on hand.
