I was just catching up on some Brownie stuff, when I remembered our first meeting. We made s'mores. Okay... not by the campfire, but via a S'mores maker. Good enough! Everyone loved it (except my daughter, who somehow caught her marshmallow on fire!)
At home I make s'mores all the time... s'mores ala microwave! You may not get the crusty, brown marshmallows, but you get them melted nonetheless.
Take graham crackers and break in half (2 sections per piece). Place one half on a plate, set some chocolate on that (half of a Hershey's snack-size bar works), then set a full-size marshmallow on top. Place in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or so. Watch carefully. The marshmallow will begin to grow. It can get as wide as the cracker itself, and just as tall. Once it gets that large, stop the microwave. Grab the other half of the graham cracker, and squish the marshmallow down. It'll ooze around, but that's half the fun... a sticky and gooey mess!
If I get the marshmallow fairly large before squishing, I then wrap the excess around and around the cracker (while making my hands a sticky mess). The thin stringy parts of the marshmallow become a bit crispy after being expanded and stretched, once it cools a little. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
