Technorati: smores, smores-recipes
We've all had the traditional s'mores recipe: Campfire-roasted melty, gooey marshmallow on a Hershey's Chocolate bar on a graham cracker topped with another graham cracker square. I guess, when you've had a dozen of those every night at the campfire, you start getting ideas (as well as a tummy ache) to come up with other interesting variations.

Here's 14 more S'mores Recipes, some perfect for the campfire, some you can do indoor.

1. Baked Alaska Peanut S'mores - a gourmet recipe with gourmet ingredients (Epicurean).

2. Mexican S'mores - Hint: flour tortillas

3. Indoor S'mores - Same s'mores taste, but from an oven or microwave

4. Upscale S'mores - for fancy folks (wheatmeal biscuits, and Lindt chocolates)

5. S'mores Bread Pudding - A heart-warming treat, bread pudding, with an all-time favorite flavor or smores.

6. Heart-Attack Smore's Pie - The already-so-rich smores recipe plus heavy cream!

7. Grown-up Smores - Skip this if you don't like recipes with 12 ingredients or more (Epicurean)

8. S'mores Crumble - Cook indoor, eat outside. Very messy, but so irresistable.

9. Smores Gorp - a smore's recipe that's trying to be healthy.

10. Caramel Rocky Road Smores - Recipe for caramel lovers

11. Gourmet Smores Recipe collection - From who else but www.gourmet.com if you haven't tried French S'mores. By the way, where do you get Petite Écolier, and what is it?

12. Frozen Smores - when something a little cooler is more appealing.

13. Banana Boat S'mores - This is fun, it's part of a previous blog JoyOfCamping post.

Although s'mores probably came into being not long after the commercial marshmallow was developed in the 1880s, the first published recipe appears in the 1940 Girl Scout Handbook. Today, it has been adapted into many interesting variations.

Good Old S’mores

• Hershey’s chocolate bar
• marshmallows
• graham crackers

Place half of a Hershey's® Milk Chocolate bar onto a graham cracker half. Carefully toast a marshmallow over a grill or campfire. After the marshmallow is toasted a nice golden brown, place it on top of the chocolate bar half. Sandwich it with a second cracker half and gently press it together.

Comments: Use Nestle’ crunch chocolate bar for nut lovers.

Melty S’mores

• Hershey’s chocolate bar
• marshmallows
• graham crackers

Reason #10. You have tried everything else to peel the kids (or the hubby?) away from the TV and Xbox. One thing I learn as a parent, when I yell, "Turn that TV off!" I need to provide an alternative. Kids can't substitute TV for vacuum. Gotta give them something to occupy their active minds like Surviving in the Wilderness.

Reason #9. You can't remember the last time you gazed at the stars. It's time to see the Big Dipper beyond the printed page.

Reason # 8. The only bird chirping you have ever woken up to is the cuckoo clock in the living room.

Reason # 7. Ten years from now, when your kids lament to their therapists that you were absent in their lives, you can show videos and pictures of your family camping experience.

Reason # 6. Food tastes better outdoors. I'll tell you about the Baby Weber Grill at another time.

Reason # 5. Its affordable. You can buy very nice camping gear with the equivalent of a couple nights hotel stay. And you get to keep the gear. (Its like owning your own home instead of renting).

Reason # 4. Enjoy the inheritance that was saved for you. In 1916, your grandparents and mine made a commitment to preserve, protect and share the natural beauty of this land through the National Park Service. When was the last time your eyes feasted on the natural beauty of our [tag/]national parks[/tag]?

Reason # 3. Camping is so easy today. Down-filled sleeping bags, 10-minute-set-up tents, instant fire starters, and yes, that Baby Weber Grill. Today's camping equipment is easy enough for the beginner campers.

Reason # 2. There are many ways to camp, so you can choose what suits you best. There's rustic cabin camping, car camping, luxury camping such as at the Adirondacks, RV camping and backpacking. Start with something you are comfortable with. Chances are, you'll explore other more adventurous camping with time.

Reason # 1. You have never gone camping before. Well, then you absolutely have to go camping this year. Do it before you are set in your ways. Do it before you take yourselves too seriously. Do it before the kids leave the nest. Do it before you can't do it. In other words, just do it.
