When I think of summer, the beach and beautiful weather come to mind. Picnics in the park, vacations with friends and family, and of course camping. I'm a big fan of s'mores, not as much as our editor Melissa though. The feeling of sitting by the fire and crisping my marshmallows on a stick really reminds me it's summer.
As I am sure you all know, you don't need a campfire to enjoy your s'mores. There are plenty of creative ways you can still get a sweet treat packed with your favorite campfire flavors without the standard square chocolate and graham crackers.
