@sunnyx0r: Doubt it, but my family spreads pretty wide :)

Two marshmallows? That's crazy talk!

@purplefeather: I'm going to a bbq/campfire next weekend and now I know what I'm bringing... Thanks for that!

@okham You're not related to me are you? I was at a cookout this weekend with family, ridiculing some of them for setting their s'mores marshmallows on fire. I in turn was ridiculed for taking too long and being more likely to have mine fall into the fire.

I am of the "rotate until golden brown" persuasion. I also use two marshmallows for every s'more.

The only correct answer is this:

If I get to make them at a campfire - whole graham cracker broken in half, cold piece of chocolate, and a golden toasty marshmallow.

More frequently, I make 'em in the microwave. Graham cracker bottom, thin mint cookie, flattened marshmallow on top. Microwave for 3 seconds, repeat until the marshmallow is BIG but not explodey, top with the other graham cracker.
The mint is a FANTASTIC addition to the smore.

I just eat the chocolate.

I take that soft marshmellow as a tear goes donw my cheek thinking of all the firends he will miss him. then i take hersehys chocolate and two gram grackers. I have a grill cheese maker for my fire pit that is square and closes in both sides. What a genius and retard at the same time. Grilled cheese when you can make a mouthwatering smores with the grahm and chocolate marshmellow filling. someone should heat that grill cheese maker and smack him in the face with it. You put it inside the fire after artiscaly creating you master peice open take out and enjoy. Just think of all the friends that will be lost that night, and all the grill cheese that will sit lonley scared alone in the dark cold fridge.

@mtm2: Nah. They tend to dissolve fairly quick.

I also set my marshmallow on fire, it's easier that way and I like them burned, then stick it between the graham cracker and some chocolate. But I somehow end up eating way too many marshmallows and maybe only one or two actual s'mores!

@durkzilla: I'm good with that. Just give it a hit with a lighter to get the crispiness.

@gmwhit: You misspelled HERSHEY! ;-)

When I was growing up in California many decades ago, s'mores were always made with peanut butter to hold the chocolate on the graham cracker during assembly. These days I never see that being done.

(And since we have a family member with a peanut allergy, we now avoid peanut butter like the plague.)

@gt0163c: But I like the crunchy outer part of the marshmallow. Fortunately, before she moved to the US with my, my wife had never had s'mores, so she thinks my way is the right way :

@gmwhit: I may have to try that. We used the gold standard, but dark would be interesting.

No! You can't burn the marshmallows for s'mores!
The s'mores marshmallow must be well toasted such that the exterior is a medium brown and crisp while the inside is warm and gooey. It takes time and skill, patience and a good understanding of physics in order to evenly toast the marshmallow while not dropping it. When the marshmallow is perfectly toasted, you assemble the marshmallow with one graham cracker, 6 squares of Hershey's milk chocolate, the marshmallow and a final graham cracker. It is perfectly acceptable to use the upper graham cracker to help remove the marshmallow from the roasting fork however care must be taken to not completely smush the warm, gooey inside out of the crisp, toasted outer shell. The s'more can then be properly enjoyed.

Mmmm....s'mores.
I have often said that I judge a gentleman by his s'more making ability. Sadly the last two men who made me perfect s'more were also happily married. Oddly enough they were also pastors. Maybe they teach it in seminary.
