My honey, though he claims to have grown up in America, had never eaten a s'more. This appalled me (as well as the clerk at the gas station where we stopped for supplies with whom I shared the alarming fact). Though not grounds for immediate dismissal, I felt a personal obligation to remedy the situation.
He was in charge of the campfire. I was in charge of ingredients. Not a real challenge, there are only three last time I checked. Marshmallows: got 'em. Hershey's bar: got it. Graham crackers... Graham crackers. Nowhere to be found in our one-stop-gas station-convenience store. We got a few more odds and ends and headed back to our cabin to make a fire and roast marshmallows.
That's when a sense of freedom took over. I threw aside rules and did the unthinkable. I tinkered with a classic. I sandwiched a toasty, gooey marshmallow between two Pringle's. Salty-sweet, gooey-crunchy, and all together good.
You'll loose the smokey nuance an outdoor wood fire lends it, but you can try the pairing at home if you have a gas stove or, even better, a fire place.
