Campfire Smores Aka Robinson Crusoes Recipes

S'MORES CAMPFIRE CONES

Steps:

• Build a campfire and allow the fire to burn until it has accumulated a bed of coals. Rake the coals into a flat bed on one side of the fire.
• Divide chocolate bar into 12 pieces.
• Fill each cone with 2 tablespoons marshmallows and 2 chocolate pieces.
• Wrap each filled cone in foil and place on the campfire, indirectly over the heat and cook until gooey and melted, about 5 minutes, rotating halfway through.

CAMPFIRE S'MORES (AKA ROBINSON CRUSOES)

Steps:

• Break cracker in half (the short way); set one aside for the top.
• Spread peanut butter on one cracker, set the candy piece on that and press gently.
• Roast the marshmallow over the WARMTH of a campfire (do NOT burn--it will not achieve the proper squishiness required for a PROPER s'more). Watch for the 'shmallow to swell up and get puffy looking.
• While still on the roasting stick, lay marshmallow on top of the chocolate, use the reserved cracker to hold the 'shmallow; pull the stick out, pressing down with the cracker.
• Viola! If you roasted the marshmallow properly, there should be a bit oozing out around the edges.
• OPTIONS: Instead of chocolate grahams, you can use regular ones or cinnamon/sugar ones. OR try fudge-stripe cookies or chocolate chip or even GINGERsnaps!
• ALTERNATIVE COOKING METHOD: Prepare everything up to the roasting marshmallow step. Place marshmallows on a plate, pop in the microwave for about 10 seconds (REALLY!)--watch carefully as you don't want them to explode (messy, messy!). Lift carefully with a spoon and set on the chocolate piece, top with the lid -- careful--the marshmallow can be quite hot!
• EASY CLEAN-UP: Bringing a box of crackers, a jar of p-butter and a knife AND the roasting sticks AND the bag of marshmallows can be a hassle--and in the dark, too yet! Instead, win your Martha Stewart "Organized Camper" certificate by putting everything into a cake pan and carrying it jauntily to the fire, say something like: "OOOh, look what good thing we'll be having tonight" -- and waggle your head in a knowing way. :rofl:
• PROPER PRONUNCIATION: S'more is a contraction of the words Some More. Do not turn this into a German phrase by calling them "Schhhhmores." Nope. They are Ssss'mores. Thanks.

OVEN S'MORES

Steps:

• Turn on the oven broiler to preheat a little, and place the rack at its highest position.
• Place graham cracker squares on a cookie sheet in single layer.
• Top half of the graham cracker squares with 2 squares of milk chocolate each.
• Top each of the remaining graham cracker squares with 2 halves of a marshmallow, sticky side down.
• Broil, watching carefully (Don't take your eyes off them!), until marshmallows are toasted and golden to dark brown.
• Remove from oven and assemble by turning the marshmallow-topped graham crackers over onto the chocolate-topped graham crackers and smooshing them down a bit.
