With summer upon us I’ve been thinking about various outdoor activities that I cannot wait to be apart of after being stuck inside various buildings and establishments all winter long. Barbe-ques instantly spring to mind. The smell of the charcoal cooking the raw meat; hamburger, hot dogs and chicken, oh my! I’ve also given much thought to another summer activity that involves fire and food: camping, namely the campfire.
Now while an enlarged open flame such as a campfire isn’t as controlled and easy to cook on as say, a grill, it has a certain charm to it that a grill just cannot hope to duplicate as far as cooking goes. By that I mean, of course, the S’more.
Everyone knows how to make the conventional S’more. Get a marshmallow, put it on a stick, roast it over an open fire and then stick it between two graham crackers and a piece of chocolate. Easy, no? Sure, but recently I thought to myself, “Isn’t that quite plain? How could one spice up a S’more?”
Then it hit me: reverse it! Reverse the S’more. Instead of a normal graham cracker, substitute a chocolate graham cracker. Forget the milk chocolate, get some white chocolate! While you’re at it why not throw out that plain old white marshmallow and put in a nice big chocolate one? That’s when I knew I was on to something special.
Something I like to call, “The EROM’S.”
