You can\u2019t go wrong with delicious gooey s\u2019mores \u2013 and here\u2019s how to make them if you\u2019re in the UK and have never heard of a Graham cracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are S\u2019mores anyway?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>S\u2019mores are an all-American campfire classic. Named because you\u2019ll always want &#8220;some more&#8221;, s\u2019mores are a sweet, sticky biscuit sandwich filled with melted chocolate and gooey roasted marshmallow. They\u2019re simple, ready in minutes, and loved by kids and adults alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, you spear your marshmallow on a skewer and melt it on the fire before building your s\u2019more, but you can also make them in foil packets on the barbecue (which ends up with waaaayy less sticky fingers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve included recipes for both methods below. Whether you&#8217;re making them for a summer barbecue or over an autumn bonfire, s&#8217;mores are a fantastic weekend treat!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image1327_789ff8-3d .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1327_789ff8-3d\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/british-s-more-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Hand holding s'more beside campfire\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-2445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/british-s-more-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/british-s-more-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/british-s-more-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/british-s-more.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>A s&#8217;more with digestive biscuits, made on my last camping trip<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the British equivalent of Graham crackers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever you see a standard American recipe for s\u2019mores, it always includes Graham crackers. As we don\u2019t have those here, you\u2019ll be left wondering what&#8217;s the UK equivalent of a Graham cracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graham crackers are a simple, sweetmeal biscuit made of wholemeal flour. In the US they\u2019re often used for cheesecake crusts. Sound familiar? Yep, enter the digestive biscuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graham crackers are not identical to digestives \u2013 they have a touch of cinnamon added to them, giving a slightly different taste, but a digestive makes a great base for s\u2019mores. You can also use Rich Tea biscuits, so just use whichever you have or prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/how-to-make-smores-uk-pin-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"How to make s'mores UK recipe\" class=\"wp-image-1330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/how-to-make-smores-uk-pin-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/how-to-make-smores-uk-pin-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/how-to-make-smores-uk-pin-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/how-to-make-smores-uk-pin.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make S\u2019mores in the UK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from digestive biscuits, the only other things you\u2019ll need are some chocolate and marshmallows.

class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Makes S\u2019mores on a Firepit \/ Chimenea \/ Campfire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is the traditional method of making s\u2019mores (and arguably the more fun, but also messier way). You melt your marshmallow over the fire and then build your s\u2019more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Skewer your marshmallow (remembering to first wet the sticks if you\u2019re using bamboo skewers)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carefully roast it over your fire until it reaches your desired level of melted\/roasted\/scorched. Don\u2019t put it directly in the flame. Everyone will hold strong opinions on what is the perfect level of marshmallow roastiness. I actually prefer mine warm and melty but with zero burnt bits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pop your hot marshmallow on a digestive biscuit with a couple of squares of chocolate and sandwich it with another digestive biscuit on top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WAIT a few minutes to let the chocolate melt and so you don\u2019t burn your mouth!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoy that melty deliciousness<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make S\u2019mores on the Barbecue (foil packet method)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re having a bbq, you can use the embers or a low flame to make s\u2019mores a different way. This method uses foil packets and means you can pre-prepare the s\u2019mores beforehand. It makes for a less messy experience, and keeps little kids away from open flames!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cut some squares of tinfoil (1 per s\u2019more). Either use the thick kind, or a double-layer of standard foil, to avoid any packet-splitting disasters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Build your s\u2019more sandwiches by topping a digestive biscuit with a couple of squares of chocolate and 1-2 marshmallows. Finish with a second digestive biscuit on the top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carefully wrap the s\u2019more in the foil to make neat, sealed packets to go on the barbecue and set aside until you need them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When it\u2019s time to heat them, place the s\u2019mores on the barbecue grill over a low, indirect heat for about 5 minutes, flipping each packet over halfway through.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To know when they\u2019re ready, take your tongs or spatula and lightly press the top of a s\u2019more packet. If it feels bouncy, it probably needs longer as the marshmallow hasn\u2019t melted yet. If it feels squashy, it\u2019s probably ready.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove with tongs, unwrap, WAIT for it to cool, and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add Your Own Twist to S\u2019mores<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The great thing about s\u2019mores is that everyone can tweak the basic recipe depending on what they like. Here are some ideas for tailoring s\u2019mores to your favourite tastes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Big chocolate fan? Use chocolate digestives instead of plain ones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mad for that Biscoff flavour? Use Lotus Biscoff biscuits instead of digestives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No biscuits in the house? Whip up these <a href=\"https:\/\/almosttheweekend.com\/really-easy-no-egg-cookies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>easy no-egg cookies<\/strong><\/a> to use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Like a hazelnut taste? Swap chocolate for Nutella!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prefer peanuts? Add a blob of peanut butter to your super s\u2019more<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Love caramel? Use Cadburys Caramel Nibbles or Rolos instead of chocolate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You could even add a pinch of salt to your caramel s\u2019more creation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However you make them, s\u2019mores are bound to be a big hit.
