Ingredients

• 8 large marshmallows
• 8 graham cracker squares
• 4 chocolate squares
• 2 tbsp Maine maple syrup
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the napkins in the center of the grill.
3. Stack firewood over top of the napkins.
4. Light the napkins and allow the fire to build.
5. Wait about 20 minutes until the Arteflame is hot and ready for grilling.

Step 2: Prepare the graham crackers and chocolate

1. Break graham crackers into squares.
2. Place chocolate squares on half of the graham crackers.
3. Set them near the edge of the cooktop to slowly warm while preparing the marshmallows.

Step 3: Grill the marshmallows

1. Lightly butter the flat cooktop near the center where it is warmer.
2. Place marshmallows on the griddle and rotate them gently using tongs.
3. Let them develop a golden brown crust, ensuring they don’t burn.

Step 4: Assemble the s’mores

1. Once the marshmallows are golden and slightly melted, place them on top of the chocolate squares.
2. Drizzle a bit of Maine maple syrup over the marshmallow for added sweetness.
3. Top with the remaining graham crackers to complete the s'more.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy

1. Allow the s’mores to sit for a minute so the chocolate melts slightly.
2. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips

• Move ingredients around the Arteflame grill to different heat zones to achieve the perfect texture.
• Butter adds extra flavor and ensures marshmallows don’t stick to the cooktop.
• Let the marshmallows rest for a few seconds before assembling to prevent burning fingers.

Variations

1. Nutty Delight: Add a layer of peanut butter for a nutty twist.
2. Salted Caramel S’mores: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and drizzle caramel sauce instead of maple syrup.
3. Spiced S’mores: Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over the chocolate before adding the marshmallow.
4. Fruit Lovers: Place a slice of banana or strawberry over the chocolate before the marshmallow.
5. Dark Chocolate Espresso: Use dark chocolate infused with espresso for a bold flavor.
