Ingredients: Jumbo marshmallows
Chocolate candy bar
Graham crackers
Microwave or campfire
Plate
Coat hanger
Preparation for campfire method: - Straighten one coat hanger.
- Break graham crackers and chocolate bar into squares.
- Place a large marshmallow on the end of the coat hanger.
- Roast marshmallow over an open campfire flame, turning until all sides are nice and brown (figure A). Marshmallow may try to slide off the coat hanger as it heats.
- Sandwich chocolate and hot marshmallow between two graham crackers (figure B).
Preparation for microwave method: - Stack on a microwave-safe plate one graham-cracker square, one chocolate square, one jumbo marshmallow.
- Microwave on high for 30-seconds intervals, until marshmallow is melted and chocolate is soft.
- Top with another graham-cracker square and enjoy!
Tips: - An adult should always supervise when there is an open fire or electric equipment being used.
- If you have a gas stove, ask an adult if you can try roasting your marshmallow over a lit burner. Always have adult supervision -- never try this alone!
All products can be purchased at grocery stores nationwide. No special products are needed. Camping Safety Tips from Marek Smith: - When building a fire, first make a circle with rocks on nice bare ground (figure C). This will keep fire inside and prevent it from jumping out and catching something else on fire.
- When camping in the backyard, make sure you always have a fire extinguisher handy in case something goes wrong. If you do not have a fire extinguisher handy, you can use the garden hose or a bucket of water.
- Gather twigs, small pieces of bark and small logs for the fire. Light the fire from the bottom.
