Altoids Tin S'Mores Pocket Snack Kit

If you crave melted, gooey chocolate & marshmallow with the graham cracker crunch of s'mores, now you can take some with you wherever you go! It's so easy and fun to put these together. You'll have s'mores in no time.
Perfect to use on ebqbbqmaster's fabulous eBQ as seen here.

Or lo-tec's Alcohol burning stove as seen here.

If you don't have an eBQ or Altoids tin stove to fire up, you can walk around with this in your pocket. It will melt just right, after about 1/2 hour or so on a hot day. Or put on hot asphalt, on top of a gas or electric burner, under the broiler, in the engine or dashboard of a car, on a heater or wood stove or propane torch Always cook with common sense and caution!.
In any case it is sure to bring smiles and s'more smiles! Grill on! It's just the right size for one, so bring two! To share! All you need is a tin, parchment paper or aluminum foil, graham crackers, chocolate squares, mini marshmallows, an Altoids tin stove or grill, hot pocket or other heat source.

Step 1: First, line tin.

If you intend on using this cooking technique, be sure and line your Altoids tin with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Measure around the tin adding 1/2" around the edges. Cut out with scissors and fit into the bottom. Cut parchment to fit the top lid too.

As a vegetarian who doesn't eat regular marshmallows, they contain gelatin, this would be amazing for vegan marshmallows. Just imagine - I could enjoy S'mores once again!
Vegan marshmallows are a bit more fragile than regular ones so roasting on a stick isn't a great option.

wat u could also do is just put the marshmelows and choclate in, let it heat up from sun or cooking it and store inside it a tiny spoon n then after the chocolate and marshmelow is melted stir the 2 ingrediatents with the tiny spoon to make a really good thick syrupy snack!

has anyone popped this in the oven? would it work?

Safemac says: Aug 6, 2009. 8:17 PM

It seems it would work as a solar heated s'more cooker, either directly ( in a box with plastic or saran type film; box lined with foil) or indirectly (Place on a heated asphalt driveway, or between bricks left in the sun to pre-heat. A good 'solar' or 'green' s'more maker, needing no fuel except solar (but not much use around a campfire at night....

What if the can starts to melt.

Make a sculpture from the molten metal or enamel it! :))

shouldnt the marshmallow be on the bottom and the graham cracker be on top so the marshmallow melts

myrrhmaid (author) in reply to kevinkm77Aug 5, 2009. 12:12 AM

Traditionally, the marshmallow would be between the cracker and chocolate after being toasted over the fire. For aesthetics sake, I put them on top and browned them up with a torch for the picture. But technically, yes, you are right! Or you can cook the tin on it's lid.

thx. great idea anyway

mason0190 in reply to myrrhmaidJul 28, 2009. 3:36 PM

How do I enamel something? I built an amazing stove, but the tin will just melt when used. HELP!

I would be cautious of any galvanization or similar treatment the metal in the tin may have underwent and and how that would affect your food when heated...

myrrhmaid (author) in reply to FlashflintJul 18, 2009. 10:24 AM

Flashlint, honestly. It's just really for amusement purposes only. :)) But that is why I lined it with parchment paper first.

Atomman in reply to FlashflintJun 21, 2009. 8:07 AM

I would rather microwave.

treecritter in reply to AtommanJul 26, 2009. 7:07 PM

Unfortunately microwaves don't fit in your pocket

myrrhmaid (author) in reply to AtommanJul 18, 2009. 10:20 AM

Is there an instructable for that? I heard microwaving those marshmallow peeps can be quite the side show event!

dungeon runner in reply to myrrhmaidFeb 24, 2010. 6:57 PM

I don't know about the Peeps, but microwaving a marshmallow will yield some interesting results. Basically it expands to about three times it's size and gets very soft and gooey. Poor man's Fluff!

Maybe the peeps crackle or spark or something. It certainly couldn't be any worse than a CD:
