Hotel Hacks: Iron S’mores

Chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker paired with a healthy serving of nostalgia is what makes S’mores one of my all time favorite treats. Camp fires are hard to come by while living on the road, and I figured if I can make a grilled cheese with an iron, why not make iron s’mores?!

A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Iron S’mores

Step One:

Put half of the graham cracker topped with a square of chocolate in the foil, and start ironing on the graham cracker side.  Keep the iron moving for 45-60 seconds before flipping the foil over.  Iron a little less on side 2 so that the chocolate doesn’t completely melt all over the foil into a gooey mess.  Peek in on how it’s doing and gauge how much more heat is needed depending on how the chocolate’s looking.   

Step Two:

Put the marshmallow in the foil, and give each side 20-30 seconds  

During the trial period, I attempted this step with a hairdryer. After 30 seconds, I quickly realized my patience was no match against the hair dryer.  Mission aborted.  If you have a lighter or match, that might work for step two as well!

Step Three:

Scrape the marshmallow onto the cracker to form the sandwich, and give each side another 15-20 second blast.

            Tip: If you want to make your iron s’mores fancy, spread a bit of peanut butter on that sucker!

Step 4:

Sit back and enjoy!
