    It's summer time!!

    I don't know about you, but summer always makes me think of long days at the beach, pool parties and backyard BBQs. There's just something about the rising temperatures and the kiddos being out of school that makes us all want to get everyone together and throw parties! In celebration of the 4th of July, we had everyone over for fireworks...and a little summer time fun by the way of Hershey's S'mores!

    One of our favorite summer time desserts is S'mores with Hershey's Chocolate - who doesn't love a little ooey, gooey chocolaty goodness?

    While I would love to have the kids over (seriously, we have 12 cousins within a square mile so there is never a shortage of kids coming over!) to roast marshmallows over an open fire, we live in a residential area where there are no open fires allowed.

    No fire pits.

    It kind of stinks!

    So we've learned to be really creative with making S'mores. We microwave them, or wrap them in tinfoil and cook them in the oven...or my very favorite way: we cook them on the grill!

    4th of July: HERSHEY’S CAMP BONDFIRE, how to make smores

    While it isn't the same thing as roasting marshmallows and making S'mores over an open fire, it is still pretty fun watching the  Hershey's chocolate get all melty and gooey over the flames coming from the grill!

    The only downfall to making S'mores on the grill is that you don't get that melty-almost burned marshmallow that you do when roasting marshmallows over an open flame. That's okay...we still had a ton of fun at our HERSHEY’S CAMP BONDFIRE!

    How to make smores

    The results are equally delicious, whether you cook them in the microwave, oven, grill or over an open fire!

    Hello, how could you possibly go wrong with Hershey's Chocolate?

    Answer: You can't!

    I made up a batch of Hershey's S'mores during our little HERSHEY’S CAMP BONDFIRE and the kids ran out front to watch my husband and my sister's boyfriend set off fireworks. I think half of our family was there, it was so much fun! My aunt and uncle and their four children were down visiting from South Carolina and they came over to watch the fireworks with us. It was really nice to spend a little time with them before they went back home.

    How to make smores

    The kids loved the fireworks; my husband drives down to the next county each year and buys the "big" fireworks that we can't get in Miami. Last year, they had a buy-one-get-one free sale so we still had leftovers from New Year's Eve!

    How to make smores

    It may not have been a real HERSHEY’S CAMP BONDFIRE in the traditional sense, due to our restrictions in the city...but with delicious S'mores and an hour's worth of fireworks going off in the front yard, it was pretty close.

    How to make smores

    How did you celebrate the 4th of July? Do you have any plans for a summer gathering that includes Hershey's S'mores this summer?

      I am a new comer to the wonder that is Smores.

      I'm an Australian living as an expat in the Middle East, and as a result have a stack of expat friends.
      Many are American.

      We were camping in the desert when this little campfire treat came out, and ever since my wife has had to deal with me wanting to make a fire in the completely concreted courtyard in our compound.

      NOW.. thanks to the wonders of random internet bloggery - I can have smores ANY TIME I DAMN WELL PLEASE.

      I'm a bit pleased with that...

      I love Smores but I've never done this on the grill!! I will have to do this sometime, perfect for hot summer nights in the city.

      I'm going to grill some next time Hubs throws meat on the grill. Thanks for the inspiration!

      I think it may be easier to make them that way next time! I do love me some s'mores!

      That's an awesome idea! Totally going to try it, I can't remember the last time I had a S'More!

      S'mores are definitely not s'mores without Hershey's. We've never tried them on the grill but we'll definitely have to do that the next time the kids visit.

      We love s'mores. I make them indoors in the winter that is how much we love them! They are a must numerous times in the summer. My favorite part is and will always be seeing how everyone likes there marshmallows:)

      Looks like fun! I love s'mores and now I want some. Congrats on being a part of the Camp Bondfire program!

      I never thought to grill them before, but that's a great idea!! I'm going to try that next time.

      We haven't made Smores yet this summer. That's something we're definitely going to have to do soon!

    17. Stefani

      July 13, 2012 at 8:48 pm

      I haven't ever made them in the oven but would do it if I had all the supplies.

      Sometimes I make mine in the microwave if I want one bad. I didn't think of popping them in the grill. What a great idea! WE didn't really celebrate the 4th this year because we are in a major drought. But we normally celebrate with BBQ or fish fry and lots of fireworks.

    19. Lolo

      July 20, 2012 at 12:39 pm

      I never thought to put them on the grill. YUM!! We may be having smores for dessert tonight!

      I'm bookmarking this and showing it to my husband, the grill master. Love the idea!

      We LOVE Smores! We spent the 4th of July on the lake boating with friends, then we had a BBQ and lit off fireworks! Was a super fun day!!!

      I live in a very small town in the middle of nowhere, and even we had fire restrictions this summer. They even cancelled the 4th of July fireworks. Sad day. Our favorite s'mores alternative to a campfire is in the oven - if you lay the crackers side by side you can just spread chocolate chips all over the top, then cover with a layer of mini marshmallows. It looks like one giant s'more (but you can still pull them apart.) Then the most important part - you broil, not bake them. That way the marshmallow still gets golden. All that's missing is the smoky flavor.
