Every time I roast marshmallows over an open flame, I’m transported back to star-filled nights, crackling campfires, and carefree laughter shared under a summer sky. A simple old-fashioned s’more is more than just a treat—it’s a sweet snapshot of nostalgia, joy, and connection.
My family’s s’mores weren’t fancy; they were delightfully imperfect, sticky, gooey, and delicious. The ingredients were humble, the technique simple, yet each bite tasted like pure happiness.
Here’s our tried-and-true recipe for classic, irresistible S’mores:
