S'mores In Your Fireplace

 What can make a Summer night even better? Making s'mores in your own fireplace is fun and easy, and it is an entertaining activity for everyone involved.

Next, simply rotate the marshmallow near your fire. Be sure to keep rotating to cook evenly. Also, try not to get too close to the fire so that they don't catch fire and get charred. If they do catch fire, quickly blow them out. If you don't like the black, char, simply pull it off before eating. I prefer a nice brown, toasty marshmallow. Take your time and rotate them near, but not in the fire. It can take a while but it is worth it!

It’s hard to actually see what’s happening with the food. Working over a blazing fire is dangerous and hot – really, really hot. Metal tools and pots quickly become elements of a hades-like inferno. I’ve developed an incredible amount of respect for colonial cooks.
