Shortly after summer had ended one of the little girls I was babysitting for had ask me if we could make s’mores. Standing there with a bag of marshmallows in one hand and a box of graham crackers in the other she said, “We make them at camp all the time so we can make them at home too!” Since we couldn’t build a campfire in the backyard, I looked around the kitchen to see what I could do. Having a hard time saying no to a very cute face, I figured we could try putting the s’mores in the microwave and see what happens.
After digging through the cabinets for chocolate, we found a few mini Hershey’s bars. Luckily, they were not expired. Hoping this wouldn’t turn into a total disaster, we began to assemble the s’mores –graham cracker, chocolate, marshmallow and then another graham cracker to top off the sandwich. I put the s’mores in the microwave for five-second increments until the marshmallows and chocolate were slightly melted. I believe it took about 15 to 20 seconds total to get the s’mores to gooey, sticky perfection.
Being creative can go a long way in the kitchen. Making s’mores in the microwave shows that you don’t always have to go the traditional route when making something. There are other options out there to try especially if the traditional one is unavailable. Although we couldn’t toast the marshmallows, the s’mores still came out great. We enjoyed every last bite.
