Thursday’s post got me all excited to play with fire. I made a special trip to the market to buy everything I would need to make my own version of the perfect gourmet s’more. I’m pretty sure anyone watching my items rolling down the conveyer belt judged me as a complete fatty fatty 2 X 4, because there is just no way to explain away a bag of marshmallows, a dark chocolate bar, a bag of cookies, and a can of whipped cream. (The whipped cream is for my hot chocolate, which I occasionally have instead of breakfast. I somehow sense even more judgment after that last sentence.) Perhaps next time I’ll throw a bag of spinach up there with everything else, so that I can pretend that I plan on making something besides dessert, but as for yesterday, the only thing I wanted was melted marshmallow sticking to my fingers, and managing to not catch myself on fire while using the gas grill.
Ingredients:
- Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallows
- Pepperidge Farm Homestyle Coconut Cookies
- Dark Chocolate with a Touch of Sea Salt Lindt Excellence Chocolate Bar
Directions:
- Give a kid a sharp pointy stick and tell them to go play with fire. That should work out well.
- Toast 4 to 5 marshmallows, before you finally succeed in having one that doesn’t go up in flames or end up in the fire.
- Place 1 square of chocolate on the flat side of 1 cookie, top it with a perfectly golden marshmallow, and then top with an additional cookie, flat side facing down.
- Avoid all animals, small children, and significant others. Do not share. If they want one, they’ll have to make their own.
Suggestions:
- You can use a grill, fire pit, or gas stove to toast marshmallows, just don’t forget this phrase in case of emergency; “Stop, Drop, and Roll!”
Improvements:
- Dare I say add 2 squares of chocolate to each s’more. Is that going too far?
- Use any store-bought cookies, along with any brand or type of chocolate bar, to make your own gourmet s’more.
- Bacon?
