Bloody Brilliant S'more Strategy

[kjp1969]

It takes a six year old to fix the perfect campfire snack.

My entire life, I've made s'mores the same way: break a graham cracker in half to make 2 squares, apply a 2" square of chocoate and a toasted shmallow. My middle daughter totally schooled me this past weekend.

She toasted a six-pack of shmallows (the max capacity of the stick), slapped near-as-makes-no-difference an entire hershey bar on a full size graham cracker, and topped it with another. Behold, the sixpack mega hoagie s'more:

She'd already devoured a third of it by the time I got the camera.

Yes, and given that we don't normally let her gorge on sugar, she got it in her head that we were going to take it away from her. She turned part animal, practically growling if anyone moved toward her. She was going to finish that s'more, even if it almost outweighed her. In the end, she tore it apart and ate the contents. I think the rest went into the fire.

I love my kids, they do some of the coolest things. Memories for later years!

So much better for her to be out with Dad at a camp fire than at home watching mindless childrens' cartoons!!

Dude...That is one of the best things I've seen on the internet. Top Notch.

I tried her technique this weekend. I was in a sugar coma by the time I finished. Oh so good!

LOL! That smile comes from the "excellent sugar rush." Love it, and the description.
