This is one of our family's favourite camping recipes.
Our family loves camping. The girls love the freedom to explore and play in the bush, Numnut loves getting to use his 4x4 for what it was built for and I love the peace.
We spend night times huddled around the fire cooking marshmallows and telling stories. Sometimes for a treat though, we like to make our version of s'mores. S'mores are an American camping dessert typically made by sandwiching a roasted marshmallow and a piece of chocolate between two graham crackers.
Graham crackers are hard to find in Australia though, and usually even if you do find them they are really expensive. We've had people recommend using milk arrowroot biscuits but Numnut and I find them a bit too sweet and instead prefer to use wheat digestives. Nothing we have in Australia will ever really compare to graham crackers and the digestives are still sweet but we love them for s'mores!
One of the bonuses of using the wheat digestives is you can get the chocolate coated ones. These are fantastic for littlies as instead of trying to balance your chocolate piece and keep it in place as you squish the marshmallow you can just sandwich your marshmallow with two biscuits straight from the roasting stick!
Typically Bubbles and Squiggles only manage to eat half their s'mores-but just between you and me, Numnut and I don't mind finishing them!
How to make your own Aussie S'mores:
You will need:
2 chocolate wheat digestives
1 marshmallow
Method:
Roast your marshmallow over the fire
Sandwhich marshmallow between two digestives (chocolate side towards marshmallow)
Yum!
