Toffee-Almond S’mores
A couple small addition makes a serious upgrade to the classic campfire dessert.
By Friends of Camp Wandawega
These s'mores are most definitely extra-fancy. There's something extra fun about making the toffee from scratch, and then using it it make the chocolate squares, and while it takes a little time, it's easy enough to do even several days ahead of time.
If you're not into the fuss, however, a store-bought kind, such as Heath Bars, will still taste very good. This recipe comes from Camp Wandawega in Elkhorn, WI, where they mark each graham cracker with a "W" to make it even more special. Want to do the same? You can pick up a vintage branding iron on Etsy.
