The taste of s’mores is quintessentially summer. Melted chocolate, gooey marshmallows and crisp graham crackers just screams summer, right? It is amazing that something so simple can be so delicious. I think it is part nostalgia( I am pretty sure I have eaten s’mores every summer my entire life) and part perfect flavor combination. Although s’mores are nearly perfect as is, I am kicking it up a notch just in time for 4th of July by adding in vanilla ice cream and taking this summertime treat to a whole new delicious level.
