S’mores
I decided to make Elijah and I S’mores at 9:45P this evening! For no real particular reason other than I was still upset that we never got around to making them while camping on vacation. I wish I had thought to take pictures of the gooey lot of them, but alas, I didn’t — my camera is thanking me for not stickying it up!
Oh, yeah…you were wondering how we made them? Toaster oven on broil, huge vegan marshmallows (yes, ‘Virginia’ there really are vegan marshmallows) on a bamboo skewer, organic dark chocolate and graham crackers — of course! Why I didn’t roast the ‘mellows over our gas stove (”next time Gadget, next time”) is beyond me. I like to do things the difficult way and hind sight is virtually 20/20.
I ate mine all up and then after E had taken about four bird bites of his, it was handed to me, because it was too sweet and too gooey. But, his excitement while they were being prepared was awesome! It was the first time he’s had s’mores and he was stoked.
I have made s’mores in the microwave before - I usually just put the marshmallow in for a few seconds (around 10-20 seconds) - then put it on the graham cracker & add the chocolate. I use my microwave for just about everything I can
I am intrigued by the vegan marshmallows, I might have to try one some day.

Doing that sort of thing in the microwave sort of scares me…well, really doing much in the microwave scares me! However, it’s good to know that it can be done in the nuke-box! I really wanted to ‘roast’ the marshmallows and our fireplace is not an option right now (needs to be cleaned, it’s July and terribly humid here).
Vegan Marshmallows can be found online:

You can also try making your own with one of many recipes online.
