I recently bookmarked a video on YouTube- it\u2019s a very catchy song<\/b> about the GREATEST campfire food in the world- S\u2019mores! It\u2019s sung by Buck Howdy (Buck Howdy was recently awarded the 2010 Grammy Award for the Best Spoken Word Music Album for Children) <\/i>and you can watch the video by clicking here- S’more Song Video<\/a>.  If you like S\u2019mores you\u2019ll like this song!<\/p>\n

My daughter and her friend made me a fire pit for my birthday this summer and we have tried a lot of S\u2019more variations this summer. After a season of experimenting, I can honestly report that the best S\u2019mores are the \u201cGood Old Original\u201d S\u2019mores we\u2019ve all been making for years- marshmallow, chocolate bar, graham crackers and a nice hot fire. Oh, and don\u2019t forget friends and family because S\u2019mores just aren\u2019t any fun to eat if you are sitting by a campfire all alone.<\/p>\n

I do have just one question about S\u2019more ingredients- where did all the marshmallow varieties come from? Have you tasted chocolate and vanilla swirl marshmallows (my son, Nic\u2019s favorite) or the caramel and vanilla swirl cousin to chocolate swirl? I bought a bag of strawberry flavored marshmallows last month which my daughter says are, \u201cfine\u201d and the toasted coconut marshmallows have became a favorite of our friends, the Andersons.<\/p>\n

Uncle Steven prefers Minty Indoor S\u2019mores to campfire S\u2019mores. Indoor S\u2019mores are easy to make and you don\u2019t need to build a campfire to make them. Uncle Steven likes to use mint chocolate chips when making Indoor S\u2019mores, but if you can\u2019t find mint chips just use regular chips (semi-sweet or milk) and add a few drops of mint extract.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find some of our favorite S\u2019more recipes and variations below but if you\u2019re looking for S\u2019more mouthwatering fun, be sure and watch the S\u2019more song from Buck Howdy on YouTube.  S’more Song Video<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Good Old Original S’mores<\/u><\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

Hershey’s chocolate bar<\/p>\n

Marshmallows<\/p>\n

Graham crackers<\/p>\n

Place half of a milk Chocolate bar onto a graham cracker half. Carefully toast a marshmallow over a grill or campfire. After the marshmallow is toasted a nice golden brown, place it on top of the chocolate bar half. Sandwich it with a second cracker half and gently press it together. <\/p>\n

Try these variations- Substitute Andes Mints (Aunt
Mo\u2019s favorite), white chocolate bar, peanut butter cups or crunch bar for the chocolate bar. We\u2019ve also used cinnamon graham crackers and chocolate covered graham cookies.<\/p>\n

Tin Foil Pocket S’mores<\/u><\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

Chocolate bar<\/p>\n

Marshmallows<\/p>\n

Graham crackers<\/p>\n

Aluminum foil<\/p>\n

Cookie S\u2019more<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

1 package chocolate covered graham or fudge striped cookies<\/p>\n

1 package large marshmallows<\/p>\n

Roast marshmallow over the campfire on a stick. When marshmallow is done, place it between the two cookies and it\u2019s ready to eat. Although not my favorite S\u2019more variation, Cookie S’mores are great when you are on a tight budget and don\u2019t want to spend the money for chocolate bars.<\/p>\n
