S'mores are just about the definition of Summer in my house, and no campfire would be complete without them. That graham cracker and marshmallow chocolaty sandwich can't be that bad for me, right? I mean, there are only three ingredients. Let's take this quiz to see.

Come Party With Me: Campfire Fiesta - Dessert

partysugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:00:45 -0700

This week I'm celebrating the waning days of Summer with a Mexican-inspired menu for my campfire fiesta. But I know that if I don't serve s'mores, there may be a wilderness mutiny. So I'm bringing along milk chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers to make the traditional fireside treat.

But I also want something special to kick the s'mores concept up a notch, so I'll use the same marshmallows and chocolate as filling for easy cream puffs. Baked in foil, these gooey goodies are made from buttery biscuit dough that's dusted with cinnamon and sugar. They're even better with high-quality milk chocolate, so be sure to splurge on the fancy stuff. To get the recipe, read more.

Campfire Cream Puffs
Modified From Love the Outdoors

Ingredients

1 can of frozen biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands)
8 large marshmallows
8 milk chocolate squares
Cinnamon and sugar to taste
2 10-inch by 10-inch squares of aluminum foil

Directions
Makes 8 cream puffs.

Sprinkle a plate with a dusting of cinnamon and sugar.
To make each cream puff, open the biscuit roll and pull off one biscuit. Open it up and stuff a marshmallow and one chocolate square inside. Close the biscuit so you can't see the marshmallow. Roll the biscuit dough in the cinnamon and sugar.
On each square of aluminum foil, place four of the stuffed biscuits; bring the sides of the foil around the biscuits, leaving a small space for ventilation.
Place the foil packets over the campfire for about 10 minutes, until dough is golden brown and marshmallow is melted.

Helloooooo S'mores!

I think it's safe to assume that North is getting used to being spoiled, with all the samples he's getting lately from office pal, Angelica – ordering these tasty treats now would be yum overload! These scrumptious looking s'mores are not only pet safe, but they were made for your hungry pup! Carob and yogurt are sandwiched between peanut buttery "cookies" to form the most incredibly delicious dog treats I think I've ever seen! No kidding, I'm about to go to the corner market right this minute and grab some graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows to satisfy my craving! Not only do they bake s'more goodness, but their Peanut Butter Bones look awfully good too!

Etsy treat master Make Your Dog Smile certainly will live up to its name when they ship these perfect PB squares to your door for $5 bucks a trio. I can't imagine North's face if he spotted these super yums – maybe for his birthday next month?

How to Pack For a Camping Trip

FitSugar — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 03:00:00 -0700

If you haven't had the chance to get away for a weekend of camping, now is your chance. Most campgrounds require that you call ahead to reserve a campsite, so make your reservations now. Ask friends where they've camped to get recommendations. I love to get sites that are right on the water, so when you wake up in the morning you can take a quick dip.

Planning ahead for your trip will ensure that you don't forget anything. Make a list and be sure to get all your gear ahead of time. Pack for all kinds of weather, not just the weather you're hoping for. Also remember that you're in the woods, which means it may be a bit colder and much buggier, so don't forget the jeans, sweatshirt and bug spray. Also, don't forget the ingredients to make S'mores!

Here's what I like to pack:

Why Settle For Ordinary S'Mores?

YumSugar — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 01:31:41 -0700

Today is National S'mores Day and while you could easily whip up a batch by going for the standard graham crackers, Hershey's bar and jet-puff marshmallows, why not treat yourself to something a little more decadent? Recchiuti Chocolates of San Francisco is offering a deluxe S'more's Kit for you to savor. The eight serving kit comes complete with handmade vanilla bean marshmallows, delicious Recchiuti Grahams and a wonderfully bittersweet (85%) chocolate bar. The kit will cost you $22, but National S'mores Day only comes once a year, and besides you're worth it, right?

Give Me a S'more Popsicle

YumSugar — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 08:00:23 -0700

Summer is coming to an end! I don't want it to, but there's no way to fight it, so instead, I celebrated by creating a frozen treat inspired by the great camping tradition of s'mores. Only a few days ago, PartySugar made homemade smores, and I decided to try my hand at s'mores popsicles. These easy popsicles only require five ingredients: vanilla ice cream, marshmallows, chocolate chips, graham crackers, and vegetable oil.To mimic the shape of a marshmallow, I made the pops in small juice glasses, although any pop mold or dixie cup would work. While these popsicles are not gooey and warm like the original s'more, they have the same great flavor. The first bite of roasted marshmallow ice cream, crisp chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers will cool down anyone who is basking in the last fiery days of Summer. These popsicles are irresistible to kids and adults, so if you want chilly s'mores, keep reading.
