S'MORES! :D

Outdoor cooking has been our strength and what we showcase as our forte for quite some time now, but I thought that instead of the usual just-the-marshmallow and chocolate banana splits we could have a new addition that is in fact, quite an old campfire tradition (first found in a 1927 Girl Scout Handbook) named:

SMORE! (or a contraction of "Some More")!



Why?
1) It's delicious, simple, slightly messy but still very much feasible! :D It's bitesized to make you want Sommore!
2) Though it's clear origins remain unknown, it was originally found in a 1927 Girl Scout Handbook!
3) All you need is:

Recipe

1 graham cracker (there's Honey Maid Graham Crackers, though I'm quite sure other crackers that are rectangularly long will do well)


1-2 marshmallow(s)
4 chocolate squares/1 piece of chocolate

And as quoted from the Camp Olave webpage:

To make a perfect S'more place a piece of chocolate on a graham cracker, toast a marshmallow on a stick over the fire until it [melts], place the marshmallow on the chocolate and top with another graham cracker. Careful! The marshmallow is hot but so tasty!

2D structure:

GRAHAM CRACKER
MELTED MARSHMALLOW
INDUCED HALF-MELTED CHOCOLATE SQUARES/PIECE
GRAHAM CRACKER

YUM!!!@_@

4) Of course, we can vary the chocolate (amongst milk, white & dark) and the crackers (flavoured) or even add fruits like bananas into a longer biscuit to form very delicious treats to pass it on! ^_^

5)PLUS PLUS! We can use our special guides crackers (the 3 flavours) too to Clear Unsold Stock! :D Brilliant! Ingenious! xD

My promotion ends here. So the incharges, do consider! :D

"S'mores. A confection made from graham crackers, marshmallow, and chocolate heated until the contents melt. The word "s'mores"--always used in the plural--is short for "some mores," referring to one's appetite for more than just one. It is a cookie said to be particularly popular at Girl Scout's campfire cookouts."
---Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink, John F. Mariani [Lebhar-Friedman:New York] 1999 (p. 298)

These are some things to note before you go for tmr's chalet:
  • Food will have to be bought on the day itself, so I will need some helpers in the shopping. If everyone has the mindset that all is ready for you and come in the late afternoon then we can have a delivery buffet already(:
  • Please help to bring rags/food tongs/drinks to save costs.
  • The total cost of the food will be split up amongst everyone present. Therefore please BE PREPARED and bring some cash along. No credit cards accepted.
  • I will be off to Orchard in the morning to handle some admin matters so if there's anything please ask my parents. Will be back around 12.30pm.
  • Nothing has been prepared/planned beforehand (ESPECIALLY THE FOOD), so if you like please TAKE THE INITIATIVE and gather some people to plan certain areas of 'work' (ie. shopping for food, day's activities)
  • For anyone who intends to stay overnight, FYI: about 1-2 rooms will be allocated for us only.

Kindly help to pass this message down. Thanks.
