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)
