How to Make S'mores
Whether it's a crisp fall night or a balmy summer evening, knowing how to make s'mores is sweet way to cap off the day. While a crackling campfire is often considered the traditional "toaster'' for s'mores, the gooey-crunchy treats can also be enjoyed straight off the grill or even out of the oven or microwave.The classic s'mores are made with graham crackers, chocolate chunks and marshmallows, but feel free to add your own personal touch: peanut butter for extra richness, chocolate-hazelnut spread instead of candy bar chunks, or a sprinkle of cayenne for some additional heat.
It's not certain who invented s'mores, but evidence shows the Girl Scouts have one of earliest recorded recipes, dating back to the 1920s. S'mores have become so popular that Congress even dedicated a day (August 10) to celebrating the campfire staple. The exact origin of s'mores might be unknown, but one thing's for sure: You always want some more s'mores.

-Hey everyone, I'm Judith. Well today, we'll be making Super
Easy S'more and this version is the fastest version you
can think of. So, what you'll need is 8 chocolate
or regular graham cracker squares, we'll be using some regular
graham crackers today; 3 tablespoons of chocolate hazelnut spread; and
3 tablespoons of marshmallow cream. There you go. Three easy
ingredients that's all you need and all you need is
about 1 minute. So, let's get our graham crackers down
on here, get 4, 4, lovely. So, first of all,
let's spread on. It's nice to leave out your chocolate
hazelnut spread in room temperature so it gets nice and
hot and so it's easy to spread. So, we'll just
spread on one side with chocolate hazelnut spread. Now, be
careful because obviously, these graham crackers can split pretty easily,
so just keep an eye on that. So, we'll repeat
that for the other 4 graham crackers. So, once all
4 graham crackers are fast spread with chocolate hazelnut, then
we'll spread the other 4 graham crackers with this marshmallow
cream. What a great indulgent dessert to have when, you
know, on a cold day and when you don't have
a roasting fire going, you can do it really quickly
as we're gonna do in the microwave and I swear
it turned out just as good, trust me, alright. So,
we'll spread that marshmallow cream on the remaining graham crackers.
So, once they are all spread with the chocolate hazelnut
and marshmallow cream, we're now gonna put them together. So,
we're just gonna create like a little sandwich. You also
know what to do of these before. Bring back nostalgic
memories of camping, I'm sure. There you go what a
great treat. Now, there re gonna go in the microwave
on high full power for 30 seconds. If you wanna
cook them individually, then put one in each about 10
seconds. So, if you wanna put 2 in there, 2
seconds. But we're gonna put all 4 in there for
30 seconds. So, it's quick as a flash. They're out
of the microwave. Oh wey, guey delicious as you can
see. Bring up one of those and all of that
will just melt in your mouth, beautiful. There you go
everyone. That's how you make super easy S'more.
