Smores are a staple and expectation of the camping experience.  What does one do when fires are banned during the camping season?  You get creative!  Here’s how we do it at Camp Howard.

Below: Shawna King and Melanie Smith ( two of the fantastic cooks at Camp Howard) put half a graham cracker on a sheet pan then put a marshmallow on top of each cracker.

Below: They popped them into the oven and heated them for about 10 minutes at 350.

Below: When they came out of the oven, they were gooey on the inside but had a very thin membrane on the outside giving the marshmallow its shape.  A piece of Hershey chocolate is place on top of each Marshmallow.

Below: Finally, the other half of the graham cracker is pressed down onto the chocolate, forcing it into the melted marshmallow, creating a sandwich and melting the chocolate into the white hot sweet goo which attaches itself to the top and bottom cracker

The Lakeridge Marching Band was waiting patiently for the evening treat which made for a perfect end of the day!
