Grate Grilled S’mores
Ingredients:
- Graham Crackers
- Marshmallows
- Hershey’s Chocolate Squares
Ingredients To make one S’more:
- 1 Graham Cracker in 2 halves
- ½ Hershey’s Chocolate Bar
- 1 Marshmallow
Grilling Instructions:
- Spear marshmallow (1-2 at a time) on GrateTool or large grill fork
- Hold the marshmallow just over the grillgrates and it will soon start to soften and melt
- Lower the marshmallows onto the raised rails briefly- turn and repeat
- Place ½ graham cracker with chocolate on top onto the grillgrates
- As soon as the chocolate shows signs of melting place marshmallow on top
- Place top ½ of graham cracker over marshmallow and pull off the fork or gratetool to complete the grilled s’more.
It is a fast grill, less than 1 min for each marshmallow and 30 seconds for the graham cracker and chocolate to be ready for handing off (Tip: have lots of napkins on hand for gooey chocolate) or plating. If possible, let the s’more sit for 2-3 minutes after grilling for the chocolate to firm up a bit.
