Picture this: the sun setting over the horizon, waves crashing gently on the shore, and the smell of salty sea air filling your nostrils. What could make this scene even more perfect? A beach bonfire and s'mores, of course!
How to Build the Perfect Bonfire
First things first, you need to gather some driftwood and arrange it in a circle. Make sure to leave a gap for easy access to the fire. Pro tip: add some dried seaweed for a crackling sound effect that will transport you to a deserted island (minus the whole survival situation).
Roasting Marshmallows 101
Now, onto the main event: roasting marshmallows. Grab a skewer (or a stick if you're feeling rustic) and impale a marshmallow on the end. Hold it over the flames, rotating slowly to achieve that perfect golden brown hue. Be careful not to let it catch on fire unless you're into that charred marshmallow flavor (no judgment here).
The Art of S'mores Making
Once your marshmallow is perfectly roasted, it's time to assemble your s'more. Place it on a graham cracker, add a piece of chocolate (or two, we won't judge), and top it off with another graham cracker. Squish it all together and voilà! You've got yourself a gooey, chocolatey masterpiece.
Beach Bonfire Etiquette
Remember, beach bonfires are all about good vibes and good times. Be sure to clean up after yourself, respect the beach rules, and maybe even share your s'mores with a fellow beach goer. After all, s'mores taste even better when shared with friends (or strangers who also appreciate a good bonfire).
