A Lesson In S'mores



It is a life changing moment in an international staff member’s life, the first time they are handed the roasting stick by a campfire. As the squishy white mallow browns and crisps over the flames a graham cracker and piece of chocolate sit idly by, waiting.
This is a s’more. Possibly the most infamous American delicacy around, and definitely the most popular camp food. It’s gooey, sticky, chocolately and devilishly delectable. The combination of marshmallow, chocolate and cracker are indescribably amazing. As the mallow oozes out over your fingers and face you can’t help but grin. This is summer camp.
Step one: Find a good pointy stick. One with multiple prongs is the best. Affix mallows to stick. Hold stick far enough away from the flames that the mallow doesn’t catch on fire, but close enough that it begins to cook and melt.
Step two: load a graham cracker with a piece of chocolate.
Step three: when the mallow is cooked place it on top of the chocolate. Get another graham cracker and put it on top of all three items making a sandwich.
Step four: squeeze it together and bite!
Step five: find heaven.
