Hershey&#8217;s Milk chocolate Bar, quartered<\/li>\n<li>4 Jet-Puffed Marshmallows<\/li>\n<li>A summer night.<\/li>\n<li>A fire. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Find an outdoor spot on the summer night, add one fire (safely).  Top four of the graham squares with 1 chocolate piece; set aside.<\/p>\n<p>Toast 4 marshmallows over hot campfire or grill using a long handled fork (or find a long stick). Toasting is best done in crevices between glowing embers &#8211; just hot enough that the marshmallow browns and begins to bubble while being slowly rotated. <\/p>\n<p>There are those outdoor chefs who will disagree with this practice, who either think of bubbling as &#8220;overdone&#8221; or that the real pleasure is in scorching the marshmallow to the point of blackness. They are both wrong. <\/p>\n<p>Supervise the kids if\u00a0 they are toasting the marshmallows.  But not too much.  Laugh when the 4-year-old catches his marshmallow on fire.  But not too hard. <\/p>\n<p>Use a second fork (or a relatively clean stick, or graham cracker fragment) to carefully slide 1 marshmallow onto each chocolate-topped graham square.<\/p>\n<p>Cover each with a second graham square to make a sandwich<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-771\" title=\"summer2009-218\" src=\"http:\/\/juniorkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/summer2009-218.jpg\" alt=\"summer2009-218\" width=\"475\" height=\"411\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Dirty fingernails for the under-seven set are totally excusable when camping. <\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The junior kitchen family went camping in Kentucky recently and we had the ultimate camp food dessert: S&#8217;mores.
