Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Gather your supplies
I start by gathering all my equipment for the DIY s'mores kit. I lay out the Graham crackers, chocolate bars, marshmallows, skewers, and anything else I need on the kitchen table.
Step 2: Prepare the chocolate
Next, I break the chocolate bars into individual pieces so they will fit perfectly between the Graham crackers later. I find it makes assembly easier when I have everything ready to go!
Step 3: Assemble the crackers
I take a couple of Graham crackers and place them in a fun little stack on my serving tray. I make sure to keep the bottom halves accessible for when we add the toppings.
Step 4: Get the marshmallows ready
I grab a handful of marshmallows and pop them into a small container. This way, everyone can easily access them when it’s time to build their s'mores!
Step 5: Set up the roasting area
Time to prepare the roasting area! I grab my portable campfire and set it up outside. I also ensure I have the roasting sticks and bear paws ready for when we start cooking those marshmallows.
Step 6: Create a fun s'mores station
With everything set up, I put everything on our serving tray: crackers, chocolate, marshmallows, and napkins. I want it to look inviting and fun so that everyone is excited to make their s'mores!
Step 7: Gather the crew
I call my friends or family over and let them know it’s s'mores time! We all gather around the campfire in anticipation of roasting marshmallows.
Step 8: Roast those marshmallows
I grab my skewer and poke a marshmallow onto it. Then it’s time to roast! I hold the marshmallow over the flame until it’s golden brown and gooey. Mmm, so good!
Step 9: Assemble the s'mores
Once my marshmallow is perfectly roasted, I carefully place it between two Graham crackers with a piece of chocolate. I press down just enough to let the chocolate start melting!
Step 10: Enjoy the deliciousness
Finally, I take a big bite of my gooey, delicious s'more. The combination of graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow is heavenly! I watch everyone else doing the same, and we all share in the joy of these sweet treats.
