S’more s’mores are a staple at campfires in the United States. This is America’s national snack, made by sticking marshmallows on a stick, melting them over a fire, and eating them with chocolate between graham crackers.
S’mores are named after the word “some more” because they are so delicious that you can’t stop eating them. In my case, however, I can’t stop pursuing the perfect roasted marshmallow, rather than because of its deliciousness. First, I’ve had marshmallows that have caught on fire and tasted burnt. Then I’ve had marshmallows that have been roasting slowly and deliberately over a long time and ended up with gray soot and not tasting so good anymore. Difficult🧐 I’m not hungry anymore, but it’s SOME MORE that makes me want more and more in a different way as I’m pursuing the right degree of roasting.
I also love graham crackers. They are undoubtedly delicious, but eating too many graham crackers late at night when I am already full after dinner at camp makes me too full. I try to stay away from chocolate because if I overeat chocolate at night, the caffeine keeps me up at night, but still.
By the way, I have been using a handmade S’more stick made of wire for the past 10 years. But when I went camping with a friend, I saw a special S’more stick that she had and it looked so convenient that I decided to buy proper sticks. I bought this one on Amazon.
On a cold night, when my relatives came over, I used the new S’more dedicated stick to do S’more on the fireplace in the living room. It is easy to use. It’s sturdy but not heavy, can be shrunk in half length, and comes with a storage bag, so it’s easy to take it to a campsite. It is well made and lasts a long time. I recommend it.
As I was pursuing marshmallow roasting with my new stick, I was getting full on graham crackers. I wanted to eat marshmallows with a lighter touch.
Just then, our Foodie daughter saw a sliced orange on a plate and thought putting a marshmallow on top of it might be delicious. She said it was so good that I should definitely try it. So I tried it. And lo and behold, it was delicious! I was full, but it was just some more. The orange juice and melted marshmallow combine to make a light and fluffy treat. That is entirely different from the one on a graham cracker.
Something that tastes really good even when you’re full is something that tastes truly good. So the following week, I roasted the marshmallow in a toaster oven and put it on top of the orange slices. Yum! It is so light that you can eat several.
It will become a regular snack for me during the winter when oranges are delicious. So give it a try sometime.
