Watermelon S’mores
I’ve missed s’mores. A lot. Every now and then, I’ll cave, and I’ll have them on gluten-free graham crackers, but the crackers aren’t very good. Nothing at all like the thin, crispy graham crackers of my youth. And then, one day, while ogling someone’s delectable photos of chocolate-covered watermelon and thinking of my whipped cream-covered Watermelon Cake, it dawned on me: Watermelon goes great with chocolate and also goes great with fluffy, creamy, sweet white stuff. Like marshmallows. Watermelon S’mores were born. With the combination of toasty-hot marshmallows and cool, crisp watermelon, I can’t imagine this classic summer treat any other way. Get on it while the weather’s still warm!
