Indoor S'mores

I possess many talents in life, however, starting a fire is not one of them. I also never understood the whole "camping" phenomenon. By time you have finished shopping and preparing food for eating outside in the woods, you could have easily stayed at the Ritz Carlton-and no cleaning out your cage after you are done sleeping and eating. If I could sleep in the woods and leave a few dollars for someone to clean up, I would reconsider. I lie, no I would not. There are bears and other scary animals in the woods ready to eat me and my Hershey bars, or cause me bodily harm in the process of getting to my s'mores gear. No thank you. Instead, you can find me in room 2203 of the RC. If you agree, or need some treats for camping, the recipe below is fantastic!


Indoor S'mores

Ingredients:
8 cups golden grahams cereal (one 13 oz box)
1 1/2 cups Nestle toll house milk chocolate chips
6 cups miniature marshmallows (one 10 oz bag)
5 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup light corn syrup, optional

Melt 5 cups marshmallows (save 1 cup for later), all the chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup in a 3 quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat Stir in vanilla. Butter rectangular pan (13″x9″x2″)
Pour golden grahams cereal into a large bowl. Pour marshmallow mixture over cereal; stir until evenly coated. Stir in remaining marshmallows.
Press mixture into pan with buttered back of spoon. Cool until as firm as you’d like. Cut into 24 bars. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
