Treats that look and taste gourmet, but are fun and easy to make! Learn about roasting marshmallows, melting chocolate, and how to make dozens of delightful s'mores whether you're outdoors or in the kitchen.
Want to know more about s'mores? Freelance writer Adams has come up with over 60 variations of the traditional campfire treats. No fire, no fear-ovens, stovetops, and even microwaves can do the job (although with decidedly less atmosphere). As for ingredients, choices include the good old graham cracker but also range far afield to cookies, croissants, pound cake, or sliced fruit. While marshmallows still seem to be de rigueur, Marshmallow Peeps® add seasonal variation. The simple Hershey's chocolate bar has a lot of competition as well. Here, the options include other types of candy, Nutella, cookie dough, even pumpkin pie. To really doll it up, add-ins are also suggested (e.g., candy canes, fresh fruit, and popcorn). Lots of luscious color pictures let you see the presentations. Overall, a fun and attractive book, guaranteed to bring out your inner Camp Fire Girl or Boy Scout. Purchase where there is interest.
