The classic combination of chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker doesn’t necessarily need an update, but we have to say this version of s’mores is definitely worthy of your next BBQ.
This dessert is easy to assemble in advance, and fun for guests (especially kids) to make. One thing that we particularly enjoyed was finding out how each person assembles their Strawberry S’more. Some people just went for it and stacked everything up; others ate each component separately.
However you enjoy them, you ..read more
