As most anyone can tell you, football season is upon us (especially here in Kansas City - go Chiefs!). And along with football comes tailgating. Fall (and the soon-coming winter) is a great time for another classic activity - making S'mores! Combine Kraft Jet-Puffed marshmallows, Hershey's chocolate, and Honey-Maid graham crackers...ah, what could be better? The Hershey Company has declared S'mores to be the Official Dessert of Tailgating. If you're skeptical, read on!
Hershey's has an idea to make a new variety of S'mores - grill them! The Hershey Company and Kraft Foods have teamed up to bring a new twist to America's favorite snack with the "build it, wrap it, grill it" method. This great way to make S'mores will fit perfectly with all of your tailgating activities.
Here's how you can try out the new method: make up your S'mores, wrap them in aluminum foil, and grill them for 1-2 minutes on each side until the ooey, gooey chocolate and the fluffy marshmallows blend into a delicious concoction. You can find more specific recipes as well as many great tips on S'mores and tailgating on Hershey's S'mores Smiles site.
My plans to grill S'mores this week fell by the wayside since the baby and I have been sick - but you have to admit, a grilled version sounds amazing.
Since I was stuck inside the house, here was my solution: Microwave S'mores!
The method is as follows: build your S'more but leave the top graham cracker off. Place it in the microwave for approximately 15-20 seconds. WATCH CLOSELY because marshmallows do weird things in the microwave (see above photo).
Once your chocolate and marshmallows are nice and gooey, take out the plate and add the second graham cracker piece. Voila! Just be careful. I have yet to make Microwave S'mores without dripping chocolate all over myself. Regardless of how much chocolate winds up on my clothes - deliciousness. If you give grilled S'mores a try, let me know what you think!
