GORP's Trailside Cookbook
Some More S'mores
By Food Expert, Dorcas Miller

Toasting marshmallows over a hissing blue flame just isn't the same as roasting them in a dancing fire. But if you want the rich taste of chocolate overlaid with the crunch of graham crackers and nuts (and are willing to forego the pyrotechnics), try this recipe. Each serving has 225 calories.

Some More S'mores

This recipe makes 2 servings of 1/2 cup each

At home, crumble:

* 1 1/2 graham crackers (makes 1/2 cup)

Combine with:

* 1/4 cup chocolate chips
* 1/4 cup chopped, toasted walnuts

On trail, place ingredients in a pot and warm over a low flame, stirring constantly. Do not let the chocolate get hot enough to bubble because it will scorch instantly.

As an alternative, make a double boiler by putting the ingredients in a small pot, then placing the small pot in a larger pot with an inch or two of water. The chocolate will take longer to melt, but it won't burn.
