Some More S'mores in this here land!!!

I have such great memories as a child going on brownie camps in Germany with my American-led brownie group and toasting s'mores!! they are sooooooooo delicious!! I feel NZ should embrace the S'more!! We are so missing out!! And kiwi's go camping! Lots! Here's a tasty recipe!!

Ingredients:

  • graham crackers (kiwi's could use digestives)
  • chocolate bars (plain hersheys is best for that real american flavour!!)
  • marshmallows (the biggest fluffiest one's you can find!!)

Preparation:

Stick through a stick and toast on a campfire or:

Place graham crackers on baking sheet. Put 1 square of chocolate on each cracker. Place a marshmallow on each piece of chocolate. Put in a 350° oven for 4 to 6 minutes, just long enough to melt marshmallow and soften the chocolate. Remove from oven and put another graham cracker on top to make a sandwich.

Super Sarnies!!
