6 Tips for Making Traditional Campfire S’Mores:

1.      Safety first! Be cool and use a long stick.

2.      Be even cooler and use 2 long sticks. This will prevent your marshmallow from rotating and falling into the flame.

3.      Keep it clean. Bring hand wipes or paper towels and water to the game to combat messy hands and sticks/skewers.

4.      Double up production by toasting more than one marshmallow at a time. Use both in one s’more or make two s’mores in half the time.

5.      Do you like your marshmallows barely melted or do you prefer them crisp and black? No matter what camp you belong to, be sure to keep an eye on how close your marshmallow gets to the flame.

6.      Soften your chocolate while you toast your marshmallow. Place your chocolate covered graham cracker on a pre-heated/warm piece of wood or plate.
