S'mores are one of America's most famous creations. A soft, squishy toasted marshmallow sandwiched with a piece of chocolate between two biscuits, they're completely addictive — and even more so when made with chocolate marshmallow eggs.
So if the Easter Bunny dropped off a bounty of these sweet treats over the weekend, fire up the braai (or microwave) and make some s'mores with the family.
An an element of surprise to the enjoyment of eating them by making a small slit in the bottom of each marshmallow egg and pressing a couple of Smarties, jelly babies or fruit gums into the centre.
To make 10 s'mores, you'll need:
20 flat biscuits
10 chocolate marshmallow eggs
To cook them on the braai:
You'll need a braai grid.
Open the grid and lay out half the biscuits on one side. Top each biscuit with a marshmallow egg. Top with another biscuit, pressing down lightly and close the grid.
Place over the coals or a gas flame and heat till the marshmallow softens and the chocolate melts. Serve immediately.
To cook them in the microwave:
For a dash of speed (and greed) microwave the s'mores on high for 30 seconds and watch how the marshmallow balloons and then pops in a sweet, squidgy puddle of yumminess coated in melted chocolate.
