What would summer be without camping? Camping is a favorite pastime for so many Americans as it is an affordable way to commune with nature, family and friends.
Hand in hand with all that communing with nature, comes the communing with family and friends around the campfire, enjoying chicken foil dinners, campfire stew, and the S’mores!
Camping is a great way to get away for the weekends, but if you are unable to slip away, or just don’t’ want to partake in an outdoor adventure, you can still enjoy some of the favorite camping snacks right in your own home.
S’Mores
August 10th is National S’Mores Days, so gather round the fire and join in on the fun. First found in “Tramping and trailing with the Girl Scouts” of 1927, S’mores have been a mainstay of recreational camping for decades. Simply skewer a marshmallow on a stick hold it above the fire until it is brown and soft on the inside, pinch it off the stick onto a graham cracker, and sandwich with a piece of chocolate and top with the other graham cracker. For those who just can’t wait for the fire to get burning, there are a variety of microwave ‘S’mores makers that ensure results are quick and easy.
