Easy Minty S'mores (Camping Food)

       When we think of camping food, one of the first things that comes to mind is s'mores! Am I right?
I mean, who doesn't love a nice burnt toasty, creamy marshmallow sandwiched with chocolate, between two graham crackers? They are awesome and, well.... we always want s'more!

       These Minty S'mores are a super easy and absolutely delicious twist on the traditional s'more. All you need are two simple ingredients, a stick of some sort, and a campfire! How much easier can you get?

       Let's get started.
       First, we need marshmallows. Yeah, that's kind of a given. I just grab a bag of whichever marshmallows the store has. I can usually find a bag for about a dollar.
       For our second ingredient, we need chocolate covered mint cookies. These can be the famous Girl Scout Thin Mints, Keebler Grasshopper, or whatever generic chocolate covered mint cookies you can find.

       Next, we need a roasting stick. There are many commercial marshmallow roaster sticks out there. Alternatively, you can go "old school" and grab a stick and a pocket knife. Strip off the end bark and make a point, and there you go. Personally, I like to go the easy route. I can buy a whole bag of bamboo skewers for about a dollar or two. I use those to roast the marshmallows, then simply throw the used skewer into the fire when finished. After all, we are talking easy, right?

       Finally, we need a campfire. This one is pretty self-explanatory. Of course, you don't have to wait until you are camping and have a campfire. You can "test out" this recipe over a BBQ or the flame of a gas stove right at home.

       Now let's get down to business!
         Skewer your marshmallow and roast it over the flames until you get your desired doneness. Let's take a second to discuss "desired doneness", shall we? I would love for you to weigh in on this topic, as the age old debate continues. Do you allow your marshmallow to catch fire and burn on the outside, or do you slowly roast it away from the flames, to a golden brown? Personally, I think that there are more people in the "burnt marshmallow" camp, than there are in the "toasty marshmallow" camp. I will leave the final decision up to you, so please be sure to comment.

       Now, where were we? Ok, toast or burn your marshmallow to your desired doneness, then simply sandwich it between 2 cookies. That's it. Easy.
Now, enjoy!
