While I enjoy outdoor activities like fishing, hunting, and beach lounging, camping isn’t my favorite. (I only camp because elk don’t roam near hotels.) For s’mores, the classic camping treat, I opt for indoor preparation. Broiler s’mores are foolproof—marshmallows toast evenly, chocolate melts completely, and there’s no smoky odor. However, for those who relish camping and crafting s’mores over a fire, stuffing marshmallows with chocolate chips is a game-changer.
This ingenious tip comes from The Kitchn’s recipe for Ritzy S’mores Skewers. The recipe is adventurous, featuring Ritz crackers instead of graham, peanut butter spread, bananas, and, notably, chocolate chip-stuffed marshmallows.
The concept is delightfully chaotic, but the marshmallow stuffing is a stroke of genius. It addresses the common s’mores problem of unmelted chocolate by heating it alongside the marshmallow. The process is simple: create a cavity in the marshmallow and insert chocolate bits. For clarity, here are The Kitchn’s instructions:
Begin by inserting a skewer into the flat end of a marshmallow, twisting it slightly to enlarge the hole. Remove the skewer and fill the cavity with 2 to 4 chocolate chips, packing them tightly into either end of the marshmallow.
Once the chocolate chips are firmly packed, proceed to roast the marshmallow as usual. Could you broil a marshmallow stuffed with chocolate? Absolutely. This clever trick works perfectly, whether you’re cooking indoors or over a campfire.
