Kahlua Smores = Best Smores Ever

I saw something on the Food Network awhile back that piqued my interest: using a fondue pot over a campfire to melt chocolate. Because, though marshmallows melt easily, the chocolate never really goes all gooey for s’mores. Brilliant! I didn’t pay attention to the actual recipe, but the concept was enough.

We went to Crater Lake over the weekend, and instead of stocking up on chocolate bars i picked up a couple of bags of chocolate chips. I had a bottle of Kahlua lying around, so that went into the cooler, too (we’ve used rum before for fondue proper, but kahlua seemed like a good fit). Besides our main campfire, I also have a Grilliput which I usually take along. We set this up next to the fire, tossed the liqueur and chocolate chips on, and went to town.

Step 1: Melt marshmallow to desired gooeyness.
Step 2: Dip said marshmallow in chocolatey goodness.
Step 3: Put graham crackers around each side and squeeze.
Step 4: Remove stick and consume smore.
Step 5: Repeat.
