Eh, it's closer to a rough guideline than anything else. And tip: that "as high as your knee" is practical, but no fun.

You bust a graham cracker in half, toast a marshmallow to your liking, and stick the marshmallow and some chocolate between the halves.

get a graham cracker, 2 pips of Hershey's chocolate, 1 marshmallow. place chocolate on graham cracker, set aside. 1/?

Roast/Toast/Light your marshmallow on fire. Put it on top of the chocolate. Smother the marshmallow with the other half of the cracker. 2/?

11 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

The roasted/toasted/lit on fire marshmallow will melt your chocolate depending on how hot you get it. S'mores are better when they're gooey.

for real, that's more effort than I'm willing to use on a snack

The only real effort involved is finding a friend with a gas stove or a firepit when you're inexplicably in the mood for a s'more at two AM.
