I make smores two different ways. I can either start a nice little fire and roast the marshmallows on a stick, or I just pre-make a smore and microwave it. The microwave way tastes better but the first is more fun.
I went camping a few weeks ago and I ate way to many smores. I think that I have had my chocolate fix for the rest of the year. I love roasting the over a fire. I have never tried the microwave, but its a great way to make them for the kids.
I agree with Kaabi, roasting the marshmallows over the fire is more fun, but it's also messier and the kids get stickier. My daughter somehow managed to get melted marshmallow in her hair a couple years ago from roasting it over a fire. You have to be careful putting marshmallows in the microwave though, my brother blew up the marshmallow in the microwave once. It was NOT fun to clean.
I agree, microwave ones are much easier, but not as much fun. I don't buy the stuff just to keep at home though, then t'd just eat them all the time :p
