The Breakfast of Champions

One thing that I particularly love is camping food. My mom taught me how to cook a really mean dutch-oven chicken, and I can create miracles with a sandwich/pie maker over the right coals. I am an appreciator of a perfectly roasted marshmallow, which in my book has a light tan color and occasional "heat dimples." No charred, flaming mallow for me... Not that I will deny you that if that's what you prefer. Last weekend found me, finally, in West Yellowstone, Montana. It was an overnight trip, too short, and really cold. We camped just outside of town, and bundled up against the freezing night. For some reason, on Saturday night when we got to the campsite, I had no stomach for camping food. What a waste. What a shame. But, after a chilly night, I was rejuvenated and found myself craving s'mores for breakfast. And why not? It does contain 4 major food groups: the carb group, the sugar group, the chocolate group, and the flambe group. So I had the most beautiful s'more for breakfast, shown here:





Please note the lovely, toasty coat of that marshmallow as it oozes out the side... Yummy. And to be perfectly honest, I am not really one for "sweets" and usually one s'more is more that I can handle in one sitting. However, having starved myself of camping food the night before, I developed and insatiable appetite for s'mores in the early morning Montana mountain mist. This led to the creation of what I dubbed "The Toasty Power S'More Breakfast Sandwich." I hereby place a copyright on this recipe. I demand full credit when you partake of this scrumptious treat and it changes your life. The ingredients are as follows:

2 Keebler Fudge Stripe Cookies
1 tablespoon Jif Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter
1 Perfectly Roasted Marshmallow
Optional: an extra slab of chocolate for the chocolate lover in you and for an extra sugar rush

Smear the Chunky Delicious Peanut Butter on the Fudgy Base Cookie, add Extra Energy Chocolate if desired, add the Toasty Tanned Marshmallow, and top with the Crown Cookie.
Your finished product may, if you are lucky, look like this:


The First-Ever "Toasty Power S'More Breakfast Sandwich"


Mmmm... I can't wait to camp again.
