The Ultimate Bonfire at a Cub Scout event last year. My kids wish we could have one this big in our yard!

I haven't figured out what my kids like better:  sitting around a bonfire with their friends, or making (and eating) S'mores with their friends.

They're both good, I guess--and having both is even better.

We've had a few potluck-style campfires around here in recent weeks.  It's working out well.  We provide soft drinks, snacks, and adult supervision.  The kids' friends bring kindling, marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate.

The foodies among the teenagers who've been hanging out here have refined the S'mores recipe a bit.  Cinnamon grahams are now the cracker of choice.  It's only a matter of time before they try swapping out varieties of chocolate as well.  Who knew S'mores could be gourmet food?
