S'mores Fail

1/14/2013

     We love us some s'mores.  They are the very flavor of camping (that and bug dope).  And the Keiter family is good at nothing if not at the art and craft of a gourmet s'more.  We are always coming up with new combinations.  In fact, I suspect that somewhere in our collective subconscious, the real impetus behind this trip is the making of s'mores.  So many great candy bars, so little time, ya' know?

    We've made s'mores with Snickers and s'mores with Twix.  Nutella s'mores and white chocolate.  There's Milky Way s'mores, dark chocolate s'mores, Heath Bar s'mores, Rolo s'mores...(imagine Bubba and Forrest here).  The classic chocolate version is great, but a few years ago Joel invented a s'more he calls The Blazing Trio:  chocolate, a schmear of peanut butter and a nice, salty pretzel nestled into the marshmallow.  
    
     We were having our friends Rob and Nancy over for dinner last night so of course I stocked up on s'mores materials, including the requisite pretzels.  I was in a grocery store I don't know well.  I was in a hurry.  There was someone else blocking the pretzel display and I really just wanted to grab a bag and get a move on.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
    
    I think we had each put away at least three of our delectable little toasted marshmallow treats when Rob went in for what he said was his last, a Blazing Trio.  He picked up the bag of pretzels and said, "Um, these are mustard flavor."  There was a beat of silence, then laughter.  I had one bite of my Blazing Trio left and what had not tasted like mustard a moment before suddenly was a bit um...tangy.  

     Moral of the story:  check the label on the bag before purchase, or else don't ever check it.  

So who has a good suggestion for a variation on a s'more?

Since you like bacon so much, and bacon and chocolate are definitely good together...maybe try some good ol' bacon with it...just sayin'.

I cannot believe I didn't think of that. Bacon s'mores, coming right up.

It's only funny until someone barfs, then it's hilarious.

This is not an exotic suggestion, but a quick and easy, "Sandra Lee" of the Food Network type s'more: get a package of fudge covered cookies (i.e. Keebler's Deluxe Grahams) and pop your roasted 'mallow between two of them. Less assembly required.

I was never a fan of the "pre-chocolated" graham crackers, but you inspired an idea: to make them with Girl Scout thin mints or Samoas.

Ohhhh...I like the way you think! A "S'mores Win" post, with all of your successful combinations, should happen sometime in the future. :-)

Reese's cups are my favorite variation.

We do that one a lot too, Kristin. Honestly, anything with peanut butter is a hit in my opinion.

Hmmm... How about a piece of dark chocolate with a sprinkle of sea salt and a Brach's Pic-a-Mix caramel all smooshed together (and marshmallow of course). Or how about using M and Ms as your chocolate source. They have all kinds of flavors now! Mmmmm I may be making some of those over our firepit tonight.

Salted caramel! YES! I'm putting that on the next grocery list for sure.
