Yes, it’s correct! I never even knew. See what happens when I get some free time! I find incredibly important information to share with others.
For those of you who don’t have a fire pit to roast marshmallows over, a non-scented candle (trust me…a scented candle is NOT a good idea) will work in its place.
But for those willing to try a new twist to s’mores, I’ve posted a different kind of recipe below, courtesy of Better Homes and Gardens magazine. (I didn’t include the nutrition information as we don’t need to ruin this fun day!)
Ingredients
- 4 oz. dark or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 3 Tbsp. butter, melted and cooled
- 1/3 cup flaked coconut
- 12 marshmallows
- 1-1/3 cups fresh blackberries
- 24 graham cracker squares
Directions
1. Preheat broiler. Place chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microcook on 50 percent power (medium) for 1-1/2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil; lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Place butter and coconut each in a shallow dish; roll marshmallows in butter and then coconut. Thread berries and marshmallows on 6-inch skewers and place on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle any remaining coconut atop marshmallows. Spoon chocolate onto half of the graham crackers and arrange on a platter.
4. Broil skewers 3 to 4 inches from heat for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until coconut is lightly browned and marshmallows are puffed, turning once halfway through broiling.
5. To serve, immediately top each chocolate-coated graham cracker with a skewer. Use remaining graham cracker to pull marshmallows and berries off skewers and form sandwiches. Makes 12 servings.
