glad i'm not the only one who loves s'mores!!! lol. i've never tried microwaving them (i was afraid the mashmellows would melt all in the microwave
but dipping it into melted hersheys syrup sure does sound yummy!!!!
Actually a cop stopped because we looked like we were doing something marijuana-related, and couldn't hardly believe we were really making smores.

When you nuke them they sort of explode and make a gooey mess, but isn't that the point

Maybe not the candles themselves, but the scented sprays are. I start coughing and get a sinus headache from them, if strong enough it can set off a migraine. DH gets asthma attacks from sprays and perfumes.

omg!! but i have such a hard time reaching into the back of the microwave (it's an above the stove one- and i'm 4'11.5''
) so i avoid microwave messes at all costs!!! but hey you should sooo try using a chop stick- they work great!!!
Colin was like...ummm what are you doing with my chopsticks
(he's 1/2 vietnamese so we use them all the time
well he does....i attempt to
) the cops stopped you though? That's funny....my best friend and i got stopped when we were younger on the way home from Beale Street in her neighborhood (she lives in germantown,tn - little wealthy suburb outside of memphis where the cops have nothing better to do that pull people over for random frivilious things
) they pulled us over because we were chewing gum (how did he know we were chewing gum- it was dark out! weirdo!) to see if we were "hiding something under our breaths" i was soo ticked- i have never even smoked let alone done drugs- so we let the officer know that- what a weirdo!
So bubble gum and smores huh....they need a new past time! I'm soo glad Colin's not one of those weirdo cops that does that

oh sprays i could understand! some of them are soo strong!!! my brother-in-law can't be around anything scented strongly- he gets massive migraines- so when i know they will be comming over to our house- i change out all of the hand soap to unscented stuff (i usually have yummy scented bath and body works stuff) turn off all my candle warmers, and get rid of anything lavender and put it somewhere else- he has AWEFUL headaches! (i think he needs to go to a nuerologist but he's too stubborn). i LOVE the strongly scented sprays/etc but even then i won't use them if someone is vising with an allergy/sensitivity to them- they could definitely cause some issues for people like my bil.

Their dpt, actually will repremand them for doing dumb things like that just trying to get a ticket (there's a different between investigating something they think is supecious and just trying to meet quota for the month) If they waste all their time on frivilious things (like bubble gum
) then they might miss something important.
I think him and his coworkers do a great job (i LOVE the dpt. in our city- they're all really outstanding men and women and are very honest/ good people
some of the other cities around here...well i can't say that for the most part about a lot of them.

Nothing can top smores over a fire in your own yard. That is, provided your name isn't Natalie & you don't light your own pants on fire!

ok, what you do,is you get golden ghram crackers, a bar(s) of hersheys chocolate(milk is best but what ever you like best) then you get marshmallows(jumbo is best), and finally some kind of stick, there is metal mallow sticks in camping stores or you can have a actual stick or chopsticks reference above, lol. then you have to have some kind of flame(candles not best, mallow will taste like wax/smell like candle). you can use the microwave, gas stove, s'more maker, or pretty much anything that will roast a marshmallow. now there is many ways to make a mallow you can slowly turn it over the flame until it is a golden brown all the way around or hold it to the flame until it lights on fire and you burn it around then blow it out. i prefer golden, either way with the burnt it is best to hold it over the flame to melt the inside before burning it, otherwise you get a burnt mallow. now before you do this, you take a whole cracker, break it in half and put a quarter of the chocolate

Wow... what a fun thread. Just when I thought I was OVER my smore addiction. Oh, a not about using the microwave... if you can see into it keep an eye on them. You can get them gooey with out too much mess. I'll put the marshmallow on half a cracker and it only takes a few second (10-15). When it starts to swell it's ready.

Hmm... I may have to go guy Smore stuff after work and bust out my smore grill.

I am partial to fall macintosh, but also braeburns are nice as well. I haven't tried honey crisp but they sound delicious! There are so many new types of apples, I think that you should just eat the kind you like the best! You will love s'mores this way!
