Tracey's Caramel Apple S'more

1 marshmallow

2 chewy caramels

2 green apple slices (about 1/2 inch thick)

Skewer the marshmallow onto a roasting stick and then thread the caramels on.

Roast the marshmallows and caramels over an open fire. When the caramels have melted over the top of the marshmallow and the marshmallow is cooked to your liking, slide the concoction onto 1 of the apple slices. Top with the remaining apple slice.

Makes 1 serving.

Kettle Corn S'more

3 Hershey's Caramel Kisses

1 long graham cracker, broken in half

1 marshmallow

Fresh salted popcorn

Arrange the kisses on half of the graham cracker and melt by placing in a pan and holding it over the fire (or by placing the chocolate-topped cracker on a grate over the fire).

When the kisses have melted a bit, push several pieces of popcorn into the chocolate and caramel. Top with roasted marshmallow and other half of graham cracker.

Makes 1 serving.
