Fireflies flicker beneath the blanket of a starry sky. The crisp smell of burning wood fills the cool night air. Children huddle around a campfire in anticipation of a good scare to send chills down their spines.Its time for Campfire Tales!
While scary stories are not for everyone, the act of telling these tales around a campfire is an old tradition deeply rooted in folklore from all over the world!
For those brave ones who dare venture out in the night to tell these tales, Syosset Public Library has several books, varying in scariness and or silliness!
Of course another campfire tradition is sores! S'mores is a desert sandwich made when a roasted marshmallow is placed on a block of milk chocolate (the charred marshmallow melts the chocolate) between two graham cracker squares.
The first recorded s'mores recipe is attributed to The Girl Scouts sometimes in the early 1900's. However, for those of us who are unable to roast marshmallows, here is a modified s'mores recipe that preserves all the gooey deliciousness and saves the hassle of the campfire:
Miss Jessikah's S'mores without the Campfire:
1 Can of Chocolate Frosting (any brand will do.)
1 Can of Marshmallow Fluff.
1 Box of Plain Graham Crackers.
Break a cracker in half and smear the frosting on one side and the fluff on the other. Mash the two sides together and you've got s'mores, easy peasy!
