Ingredients:
- cookies, 2 for every smore
- chocolate
- marshmallows
I was recently on a trip through Canada and stopped in Black Diamond, Alberta to ask for directions to a campsite and this simple story was how I discovered marshmallows and smores.
In Canada most camping sites have a fire pit and I told my new friends how I saw children roast their marshmallows on a stick. I had never done that before and my friends had plans to change that.
I knew what marshmallows were but growing up in Belgium I basically know it from the movies and a thing we call Sinterklaas. The good, old saint sometimes brought us marshmallows but shaped in a different shape not the one I know from the movies.
So to put a long story short I ended up in a garden of a beautiful house with wonderful people. We had marshmallows around a fire pit and the subject of smores came up.
The idea is pretty simple, you take a marshmallow and roast it (we roasted on pitchforks, an invention by my host to feed the whole family at once :) ) and put it on a cookie, put a layer of roasted marshmallow, a layer of chocolate and another cookie.
It is very basic, but it was fun and a total new experience but great thanks to the wonderful people who made me discover this simple recipe.
