This is for Antipo since she asked me to explain what a S'more is in a previous post. My forte is explaining breasts, but I'll do my best, to explain this culinary delight.
First, a warning...if you let children make these they'll get full from eating them way before you run out of ingredients. They NEVER get tired of making them. Get really good at directing their results to other people or 'accidentally' dump the spare marshmallows into the fire.
S'mores are a sandwich made with graham crackers acting as the bread with a piece of flat chocolate and a hot toasted marshmallow mushed together inside. I even found a website that explains what to do if you need pictures to understand what I'm trying to say.
Posted by bbarton at April 18, 2005 03:39 AMYou're welcome, Antipo!
You have a standing invitation any time you make it over to this side of the pond. :)
As for what wine...there's quite a bit of chocolate in it so I think a nice zinfandel port may work, but there's also a lot of marshmallow and graham cracker so a nice muscato might work too.
If worse comes to worse, ditch the s'more and just drink the wine while the kids are making them.

Posted by: Deirdre on April 18, 2005 09:25 AMGraham crackers are made from wheat flour that also contains honey, cinnamon and molasses. They are
flat, sweet, and usually come in squares that can be broken easily into smaller pieces.
Think I'd skip the marshmallow - graham crackers and chocolate another matter...lucky kids.

Oh thank you Bob! You're The Man! Now when are you going to invite me over to taste this little delicacy? And what wine are you going to serve with it?
