So it’s pouring outside right now and I’m craving a smore. Luckily, living in a locale with nine long months of winter has allowed me to perfect the art of indoor smores. And the whole thing takes about five minutes.

Ingredients:

• Honey Graham Crackers
• Hershey’s Dark Chocolate (or Milk if you prefer)
• Marshmallows
• Baking sheet (I only buy rimmed sheets)
• Aluminum foil (optional)
• Oven

Instructions for two: First put four graham crackers face-down on your baking sheet. Cut two marshmallows in half to give yourself more toasted flavor, putting them cut-side down onto two graham crackers. Put three squares of chocolate onto each of the other two crackers.

A broiler is like a campfire upside down. Turn your broiler to low, slide in the marshmallows, and toast to your preferred level of brown — it will only need a minutes or two so be sure to watch them. When you get good at this over time, you can crank the broiler to high. Towards the end of your marshmallow toasting, slide in your chocolate pieces for a few seconds to soften them a bit without melting.

Remove from the oven. Put the chocolate cracker on top of the marshmallow cracker and enjoy …rain or shine.
