There are few greater simple joys in life than a meal cooked over an open fire. What better way to relax than to sit back on a cool summer evening and enjoy the flames. We love to camp and cook out over our campfire. Many nights we will build a fire at home just so we can cook over it. I guess it is that "pioneer spirit" in me, remembering all the hours spent reading the Little House books and wondering what it would be like to be a wagon traveler setting out with no idea of what came next or where you'd stop and settle. One of our favorite campfire treats though, is the S'more, although I'm sure Laura Ingalls never had one of those. Nothing better than chocolate, graham, and a perfectly toasty and melted marshmallow. I know my boys just love the idea of having permission to "play" with fire and I don't think that they love the marshmallows as much as the idea of roasting it themselves. We've done some experimenting over the years to try to find the perfect smore for us and the possibilities are as varied as the personality of the person making them. We have managed to find our "Wolfe Family Favorite" The one smore that everyone asks for and comes back for seconds...
So there it is. Two chocolate chip cookies, (homemade or the famous blue package from the grocery store, whatever you prefer), a peanut butter cup, and a gorgeous melted marshmallow. Sugar overload but Oh so good!! Now if you prefer to take it over the top you could add a few banana slices and some strawberry jam, although I'm the only one who enjoys them this way. Kind of like a sweet, ooey gooey, amped up PB&J...Yummmm!! Happy roasting!!!
