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).

While it's true that with each camping trip we learn something new, we've also found that we get the opportunity to relearn something old, such as what it's like to live next door to the Simpsons for a few days.

Instead of the ingredients for s'mores, this family has brought a small liquor store. They have a boom box and a large, untrained dog named something like "Thunder-turd." There is an axe and a whittling knife for each family member, all stuck into a tree for safekeeping. There are two layers of rip-stop nylon between you and them.

During the years, I have philosophically concluded that every such campground should have such a group, if for no other reason than to make everything else look good. And the truth is, being a truly obnoxious camper is a delicate art, relying on careful planning and orchestration. The rules are as follows:

1. Make your entrance to the campground fashionably late, preferably after 10:00 pm., when there is no available light and everyone else is asleep. Read more

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
• aluminum foil
