How To Make A S’more

The traditional s’more consists of a roasted marshmallow and a square of chocolate sandwiched between two pieces of graham crackers. As you press the graham crackers together to take a bite your pallet is greeted by the delightful sweetness of the melted marshmallow, crunch of the graham cracker, and the semi-bitter flavor of the chocolate. It is just pure heaven in your mouth. 

The traditional s’more will always have a special place in my heart but I have to tell you these delicious gourmet s’more dessert recipes will challenge your old ways and hopefully give you a reason to mix things up this summer at your next bonfire. 

How To Make A Tabletop Bonfire Pit

Speaking of bonfires, if you don’t have a bonfire pit or don’t live in an area where they are allowed no worries because I am going to show you how to make your own tabletop bonfire pit that you can use instead. 

Supplies:

• Clay pot like a terra-cotta flower pot (do not use a glass container)

• Small bag of river rocks

• Container of chafing fuel 

Place a layer of river rocks in the bottom of the clay pot to cover the bottom. Then place the chafing fuel container on top of the rocks. Fill in the area around the container with the rest of the river rocks making sure the rocks don’t cover the chafing fuel lid. 

All you need to do now is remove the lid, light the fuel and you have your very own tabletop bonfire pit. The clay pot will get hot depending on how long you use it so I always like to put the pot on top of a baking sheet or even a clay potholder to prevent damaging my picnic table. When you are all done with the “bonfire” just place the lid back on the chafing fuel container and the fire will go out by itself. 

Now that you have your bonfire all set it is time to try out these delicious gourmet s'more recipes.
