Summer S'mores

S'mores are the perfect summer treat. They are definitely a necessity for camping; after a long day of hiking, swimming, sightseeing or just relaxing over the campfire; there is something about eating melted marshmallows around a campfire that always hits the spot.  I personally love them anytime!  Below are some great s'more recipes that are not the norm but are certainly very yummy. Dare to branch out and give these delicious treats a try.
