Oh, my.... You *have* been deprived.<G> Toast a marshmallow on the end of a stick over a fire, put warm soft golden brown (burned?) marshmallow on a square of graham cracker, put half a chocolate bar on top of the marshmallow, then another graham cracker... squeeze together a bit.... and enjoy!! They taste so good that you want "some more". The hot marshmallow is supposed to slightly melt the chocolate so you have both a crunchy and a gooey treat at the same time. At IOLI conference in Costa Mesa, California, the Wednesday evening dinner (picnic) was served on the beach, and they had S'mores for desert. The beach had campfire circles so everyone could toast their own marshmallows. So.. it's not just for kids. <G> I grew up with these as normal campout treats.... family, girl scouts, church camp, etc. It takes a bit of skill to toast the marshmallow to golden brown without burning it. Too close to the coals and you have incineration. Too far back and it doesn't toast. Put it in flames and you have char on the outside without heating the inside. It's so popular in the USA that companies have taken the three flavors and made S'mores Ice Cream, and the local pie shop has S'mores Pie. There's probably more products out there. Alice in Oregon ... where I finally got my lace rainbow started and I think it will look great.
