Introduction: S'mores 2.0

About: I'm a Renaissance woman. I love to create things with a fantasy, medieval, or geeky edge. I'm also a math/science nerd. I have a passion for all things Halloween. I like to build props, create costume elements…

S'mores can be messy. Very messy. Trying to get a piece of a chocolate bar to melt enough to stay stuck to the graham cracker yet not be so melted that it drips chocolate everywhere is a fine art. Luckily, with a little forethought and preparation, you can make s'mores simple to assemble.

This instructable is a s'mores mod. You are going to pre-chocolatize the graham crackers so all that is required for ooey, gooey smores goodness is to melt that marshmallow. Marshmallows can be toasted over a barbeque or other heat source but can alternately be melted in the microwave. Keep a bag of these chocolated grahams around for a quick comfort food fix any time.

Step 1: Getting It Together

You need:
One sleeve of graham crackers
1/2 cup chocolate chips
one spoon
one butter knife
one small bowl
one shallow pan or plate

Step 2: Preparing the Graham Crackers

Snap the graham crackers in half on the score line. If the graham crackers refuse to break neatly, score them a little with the knife before splitting them.

Step 3: Chocolate!

Pour chocolate chips into a bowl and microwave 40 seconds. Stir. If the chocolate has not completely melted, microwave again for 10 seconds and then stir, repeating until it is all melted.

Step 4: Spread the Chocolate

Spread melted chocolate on HALF of the graham cracker squares. Lay squares onto the pan.

Step 5: Cooling the Chocolate

Place the pan in the freezer or refrigerator and chill until the chocolate has solidified. This only takes a few minutes.

Step 6: Storage

Stack the chocolatized grahams in pairs with the non-chocolatized graham cracker squares. Store in zip top bags. Store them in a cool place until you are ready for s'mores.

Now you can make s'mores any time!

Step 7: Assembly

When you are ready for a s'more, simply toast your marshmallow however you see fit and squish between a pair of graham cracker halves. Consume!
