For us, s’mores were a relatively new addition to our campfire dessert repertoire. Despite years of campfire cooking, we had never ventured into the world of s’mores. I must admit, I had reservations about this treat, thinking it would be a sugar overload and an overrated mishmash of ingredients. However, little did I know that I was about to be pleasantly surprised by the magic that unfolds when Ritz crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate come together in perfect harmony…

So one starry night camping, sitting by our campfire, I felt like something sweet (and the family is always up for a sweet treat too, not just me!)… I wondered if we should try s’mores for ourselves. How bad could it be for an easy camping dessert? I run through my mind the ingredients that might make this unusual dessert…
My intrigue took me to look through our camp food supply. I know we have the staple Marshmallows. Next, I spot mini Snickers bars, and what biscuits? Ritz Original crackers (usually good with cheese), but…let’s see how that goes…Gathering the ingredients, I place them on a plate with the sliced Snickers, ready to compile this strange combination of campfire dessert…
My daughter catches a glimpse of the sugary filled plate and quickly finds cooking skewers (sticks) for the Marshmallows.

Now we know to toast the perfect Marshmallow. It needs to be ideally placed between the fires coals and flames to get the perfect
caramelised exterior and melting interior!
Using two Ritz Crackers to remove the Marshmallow from its skewer, we add a piece of sliced snickers, and enclose with the Ritz Crackers compiling a sugary sandwich! Time to taste…
I am surprised at the taste of this s’mores combination. It is good. Actually, it is excellent! The salty flaky crackers balance the sweetness of the chocolate and Marshmallow. The warm gooey Marshmallow oozes, adding another level of decadence.
