Campfire S'mores - How To Make S'mores

Ingredients Needed:
Graham crackers, broken into squares
Hershey's plain milk chocolate bars, broken into sizes to fit the graham cracker squares
Large marshmallows


Equipment Needed:
8 wood sticks or long metal skewers (for roasting the marshmallows)
Bonfire, campfire, fire pit, or an commercial indoor S'mores Maker


Take one (1) large graham cracker and break it in half (one for top cracker and one for bottom cracker). Notice graham crackers are scored across the middle, creating two sub-crackers. Break apart at this part. Repeat with additional graham crackers.


Unwrap chocolate bar. Break bar into smaller pieces as indicated by manufacturer's indentations in the surface of the chocolate. Cover one of the graham cracker halves with chocolate pieces to fit your graham cracker.



Put a marshmallow (or two) on the stick and hold it over the fire until roasted. Toast marshmallows over a campfire, turning the stick until the outside of the marshmallow is golden brown and just starting to get mushy. NOTE: Some people like to roast them for a few minutes, then make them catch on fire, blow them out, and then the marshmallows are done to their liking. Your choice on how you like your marshmallows!


Take your toasted marshmallow (still on the stick), and lay it on the side of the graham cracker with the chocolate. Now take the other half of the graham cracker and cover the hot marshmallow, pressing down firmly enough to pull out the stick.



When the S'more is fully assembled, let it sit for a few seconds. The heat will somewhat melt the chocolate and you won't burn your mouth! Now squish the S’more between your fingers and eat it. Make sure to lick the "marshmallow goo" that slides out the sides.

How to eat the marshmallow?

  • The miniature marshmallow is popular and is often used in hot cocoa. 

  • Roasting marshmallows over a campfire, so that the exterior is a hard brown, and the interior melted is a hallmark of many family camping outings.
  • Also, many camping trips would not be the same without S’mores, a wedge of chocolate and a toasted marshmallow between two graham crackers.
    • S’mores can also be made easily in the microwave, in about ten seconds, and a marshmallow toasts well over a gas range.
  • Another popular dish is candied yams or sweet potatoes covered with toasted mini marshmallows. Since the yams and sweet potatoes are already very sweet, this dish is sure to please people with a sweet tooth.

  • Some popular candies and cookies also include the marshmallow or marshmallow cream.
    • Chocolate covered marshmallow candies are popular.

    • Mallomars are a cookie made with a graham cracker base, topped with a marshmallow and then covered in chocolate.

    • Pinwheel cookies, made by several companies are also enjoyed by many.

    • Rocky Road ice cream and candy would not be the same without marshmallows.

What is Marshmallow?





What is marshmallow?: 
A marshmallow is a CANDY.

How it was made?:
  1. Traditional marshmallow: combination of marshmallow root, whipped egg whites, vanilla extract, and sugar. Now days, marshmallow root is more difficult to find, and now replaced by gelatin, usually derived from the bones of animals.
  2. The finished product shaped and cut into one inch (2.54 cm) or smaller cylinders and may be rolled in powdered sugar or cornstarch, giving the exterior a dry texture.
  3. Because of the marshmallow contains gelatin, it is often not consumed by vegetarians, and may be considered not Halal by Muslim.
  4. Marshmallow cream generally does not include gelatin, and can be used in place of marshmallows for recipes like Rice Krispies® treats.
  5. Alternately, when one can obtain marshmallow root, carrageenan or agar, one can make homemade marshmallows.
