The Art of Making S'mores

By Pascha Chocolate

For many of us S’mores are a rite of passage whether in childhood or adulthood. We never forget our first time making a S’more especially if it was over an open campfire. The funny thing is the phrase is a contraction of the words ‘some more’ and that's exactly what we want, after our first bite into a delicious, perfectly melted S’more.

Pascha Chocolate melts into a dairy-free, creamy, dreamy yum that is unmatched & PERFECT for S’more making. Our Mind. Body. Chocolate FIX comes with the magical impact of the many compounds in the cocoa bean helping to support your inner health. So making S’mores with Pascha Chocolate will not only taste great, but they also support your well-being.

We reached out to some of our FAVORITE bloggers to hear about their memories making S’mores

Bake It Paleo - Katie

“My favorite and most recent S'mores memory took place just this summer. It was my kids first time making S'mores, in fact it was their first time roasting marshmallows over an open fire. Their eyes were wide in wonder at the crackling flames as they sat toasting their marshmallows on a giant stick. One bite of their first S'mores and their faces lit up with delight! From the sticky marshmallow fingers to the chocolate smiles and graham cracker crumbs that littered the ground, it was a joyful sight I'll never forget.”

Casey the College Celiac - Casey

"My favorite memory around s'mores is the first time I had a gluten free S'more after my celiac diagnosis! I had lost so much 'normality' that it felt extra special to be able to use gluten free graham crackers - and some delicious vegan chocolate - to make a S'more that I could enjoy with the rest of my family!"

Caked by Katie - Katie

“I remember a summer long ago (I won’t tell you just how long ago in hopes to keep my youth alive) when my dad took my sisters and I out on our very first camping trip. Air mattresses were blown up, sleeping bags unrolled, and pillows fluffed, we all sat around the campfire telling seriously corny jokes. My dad carved some roasting sticks much to our amazement and showed us how to roast a marshmallow to golden perfection. He sandwiched that very same marshmallow between two graham crackers and a piece of chocolate for our very first taste of a S'more. It was sticky and messy and delicious and a moment I will forever treasure.”

Traditionally S’mores are cooked over an open campfire, but not the only way to make this delicious marshmallow and chocolate sandwich treats. You can also toast your marshmallows over a gas stove if you have one. In fact, you can even make a version of S’mores in your oven for a simple and fun year round YUM.
