Ingredients

• 1 cup pitted, extra ripe cherries
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 6 bars milk chocolate, broken in half
• 12 graham crackers broken in half
• 12 jumbo marshmallows

Preparation

Step 1

To make the cherry compote, bring the cherries, sugar and lemon juice to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat until cherries look like molten lava, about 10 minutes. Let rest as you assemble the S'mores.

Place one chocolate square on each one of the 12 graham cracker squares. Roast marshmallows over open flame until blistered, about 6 minutes. Place one roasted marshmallow on each stack and top with another graham cracker square, pressing gently. Smother with hot cherry compote. Best eaten on a plate.
