John Fladd considers the s’more — that warm, gooey, crunchy, melty blend of marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker that would go so perfectly with a late October campfire — from all angles, getting experts to weigh in on the perfect chocolate, the various approaches to marshmallow and even how to build a good fire. Along the way, he offers other recipes that bring those familiar flavors together, rounding it all off with a s’mores martini.
