Summer Nights: S’mores & Fireflies

S’mores on a summer night outside… it’s a love I get to experience far and few between. So the magic stays, never dissipates. But I am not the biggest fan of graham cracker. So more marshmallow, please! But a marshmallow vessel to hold the toasted marshmallow. Rice crispy treats would do the trick.

I do stovetop… because microwave preparation holds no nostalgic value to me.

Taking shape

Easy, kid-friendly delights. Next time I would flatten into a larger pan so they’d be thinner.

The chocolate is also always too thick to get real melty. I’d love to hear from other vegans about what chocolate they use or how they achieve chocolate meltiness. Vegan s’more best practices.

There they are. Gorgeous crispy treats or marshmallow goodness

Ready to head outside. Another requirement I have is no lighter fluid to start the fire. I don’t really like my s’mores tasting of butane.

Attempting a golden toasted hue, it is difficult to not overdo it.

My first open-faced s’mores

Ok, I’ll take another

Ah, deliciousness

Then, the fireflies came out. It has been so long since I had fireflies crawling on me. Pure summer.
