S'mores

I love chocolate.  I really love chocolate.  I also love to camp.   So, it should come as no surprise to you that I love s'mores. I have toasted my marshmallows, broke my graham crackers in half, and eaten a lot of chocolate bars even before any of these items where actually constructed together to make the perfect s'more.

The best way to make a s'more is to first make sure the fire is perfect for toasting marshmallows.  There should be no actual flames, just smoldering, light up in the dark coals.   Then you need the perfect stick.    Make sure it is not too dry or the coals might like it too much and start to burn it.  You should have the necessary supplies before hand:  marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate bars.
(You can also buy the perfect stick before you get started)

You will need to get your graham cracker squares and your chocolate squares ready first.  Put the graham cracker on a plate, or napkin, or something.  Then place your chocolate square on top of it.  Now, tend to your marshmallow.  You squish the marshmallow onto one end of the stick and toast it, making sure, you twirl it around to make it nice and brown all the way around.  Don't worry if it drips off your stick and drops in the coals, just get another one and start over.  Do not try and recover the lost marshmallow.

Once your marshmallow is perfectly brown, take it away from the fire and bring it close to your graham cracker and chocolate pile.  Place the marshmallow onto the chocolate square.  Take the other half of your graham cracker and place that on top of the marshmallow.  Then with one hand holding the cracker/chocolate/marshmallow sandwich, you slide the stick out of the marshmallow and place it nearby.  Don't let the gooey end touch the ground as it will pick up all kinds of dirt and yucky stuff.  You will definitely want to use this end again for the next marshmallow.

You can now draw all of your attention to the fantastic, warm, chocolatey, marshmallowy sandwich you have just made.  mmmmmmmmmmm.  Can't you just taste it?  You will find this treat addicting, I am warning you.  I also have to admit that I eat most of the chocolate while I am toasting my marshmallow. It doesn't quite taste the same if there is no chocolate in this sandwich.
