Celebrate Summertime With S’mores *Giveaway*

Posted by 103 Comments

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by.  The winner is Shawna O. Congrats!

From the looks of it, you’d probably never guess that I really enjoy camping! I remember camping in a tent at Lake Perris and waking up to being stuck in the sand while camping at Pismo Beach.  And then there was the food…Rice-A-Roni (is it still around?), Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (crazy!), barbeque chicken…and S’mores!


Hershey’s (yum!) has teamed up with Rascal Flatts (one of my favorite groups in the country music genre) to celebrate a summertime favorite…S’mores!  They recently released a free exclusive downloadable song entitled Your Day to Get Away, available at PureSmores.com.  The song, which is lively and upbeat, was written and produced for Hershey’s to celebrate S’mores.  If you’re one of the first 350,000 fans to visit the website, you can download this Rascal Flatts’ exclusive song (you’ll need to enter the UPC code from a Hershey’s Milk or Special Dark 6-pack).

So how do you make your very own S’mores?
S’mores
Ingredients:

2 HONEY MAID graham crackers
1 (1.55 oz.) HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate Bar (1.55 oz.)
2 large JET-PUFFED marshmallows
(amount dependent on cooking method)

Directions:

Over a Camp Fire
1. Roast one large JET-PUFFED Marshmallows slowly over a fire.
2. Place 1/2 of a HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate Bar on the HONEY MAID Honey Graham and then put the roasted marshmallow in the middle. Top with the other graham half.

In a Microwave Oven
1. On a small saucer, place 1/2 of a HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate Bar on top of one-half of a HONEY MAID Honey Graham. Add one large JET-PUFFED Marshmallow.
2. Cook in your microwave on medium for about 10-15 seconds or until marshmallows puff and grow.
3. An adult should remove the plate from the microwave, top with the other graham half and gently press down on the gooey marshmallow. Let cool a bit before eating.

In a Toaster Oven
1. Cook the layered HONEY MAID Honey Graham, 1/2 of a HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate Bar and one large JET-PUFFED Marshmallow on the toaster oven tray at 350 degrees until the marshmallow begins to brown.
2. Remove and top with the other graham half. Six S’mores fit most trays.

On The Grill
1. Preheat grill to medium-hot.
2. Build S’more by placing 1/2 of a HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate Bar and 1 large JET-PUFFED Marshmallow between two HONEY MAID Graham Cracker Squares.
3. Lightly wrap S’more in aluminum foil, then place on grill.
4. Grill 4 to 5 minutes or until marshmallow is melted.

True confession:  I make mine in the microwave because it’s quick,  and easy without any mess!

  64. Smores (and Girl Scouts) have been around since 1927! I didn’t know that… Something I learned from my mom-in-law recently… you can make smores in the microwave (takes about 10 secs, depending on your microwave).

  70. I had no idea there were so many different ways to heat the s’mores. We made them for the first time last week and used our gas stove top 🙂
