S'mores!

This is not baking.

It barely involves fire, but it is very good.

Years ago in my house we were on a microwave s'mores kick. Don't know how we got off this kick, or why because a microwave s'more is really a very a good thing.

From a variety of different baking I've done recently, including Congo Bars and Coca Cola Cake, I found myself with the appropriate fixings for these easy tasty bites.

What you need:
Chocolate chips (or a thin-ish chocolate square would do)
Mini Marshmallows (or Fluff would do)
Graham crackers

What you do:
Put chips on graham cracker and microwave on high about 30 seconds.
Check how melty the chips are, and microwave another 30 seconds if needed.
Put mini mallows on top of chips and microwave about 20 seconds or until the marshmallows puff up so much that they scare you.
Optional: If you have a kitchen torch, torch the marshmallows to the desired level of brownness (or burnt if that's how you roll).
Another option - top with another graham cracker. Personally, I like mine open face.

Tasty adds:
Peanut butter under the chips
Banana on the chips, under the marshmallow

The best thing about these - no large fire required, no risk of the whole thing dropping in the sand because you've been sitting around the bonfire drinking way too many sombrero's, nice melted chocolate. I'm sure there are s'more purists out there completely aghast that one should make a s'more in a less than authentic way. All I'm saying is that I can enjoy s'mores in February in Maine, barefoot in my kitchen this way. Can you?
