Grazing tables are all the rage at the moment and I spotted a few versions on offer over Bonfire night which looked brilliant. I know a lot of effort goes into these and I don't begrudge their pricing but for me personally, I can't bring myself to pay circa £40 for something I could create myself (not exactly on the same scale) for a fraction of the price.
If you don't wish to buy a fire pit / have limited outdoor space, you can use a smaller Marshmallow Toasting Kit which can be used indoors too.
The basics:
- A chopping board or tray
- A fire pit / open fire / marshmallow toasting kit
- Skewers or toasting forks
- Marshmallows (check out local seller Marsh Loves Mallow if you fancy a treat)
- Chocolate covered digestives
- Fruit - apple wedges or strawberries work well
- Dipping sauces - I use toffee and chocolate sauce
- Cadbury Fingers
- Chocolate covered pretzels
- Sprinkles
- Stroopwaffles
When you have gathered your ingredients together, set them out on a chopping board / tray as pictured and everyone can just dig in.
For me, the perfect toasted marshmallow is brown on the outside but some people prefer them to be a little less done.
Once your marshmallow has toasted, carefully place it between two chocolate covered digestives (chocolate side facing inwards) and remove the stick or skewer. Squidge down and enjoy (or if you are my kids, dip into chocolate sauce first).
Have you ever made your own S'mores? Let me know if you fancy giving them a go this winter.
