Fondue S’mores: A Sweet Summer Indulgence
(July 8, 2013 – Orangeburg, NY): Few can resist the lure of decadent, creamy melted chocolate and gooey marshmallow sandwiched between crisp graham crackers. S’mores, the classic campfire treat beloved by kids and adults alike, can be enjoyed in the great outdoors around the glow of a campfire, by a bonfire in the backyard, or from the comforts of the couch. For a creative twist on this pop culture favorite, the experts at Emmi Roth USA suggest combining two crowd-pleasers at once and using Swiss Chocolate Fondue to make s’mores even sweeter.
Merging the best of both worlds, dipping marshmallows into chocolate fondue to make s’mores encompasses both the timeless memories this treat conjures up with the dipping delight fondue brings to the table. Though not the norm, it’s hard to deny the brilliant match this pair makes, turning the s’mores into an expertly crafted culinary creation that ensures perfectly melted chocolate every time, whether the marshmallows are toasted or not.
“There is something very nostalgic about s’mores that reminds people of old traditions, and kids love it for the fun factor,” said Allison Caruana, Brand Marketing Associate, Emmi Roth USA, Inc. “Fondue adds to the appeal of this treat and brings another level of enjoyment and interaction, the perfect blending of two complementary elements with rich histories.”
Of course, one of the factors that makes s’mores so popular is its accessibility and ease of preparation – just three simple ingredients. Emmi keeps the prep time just as minimal with its Swiss Chocolate Fondue, which is ready to heat and serve right out of the package.
Experimentation yields some of the best results, so don’t be afraid to take inspiration from the basic recipe of chocolate, marshmallow and graham crackers and veer a little off course. Adding in other components, like a swirl of peanut butter and bananas; juicy fruits such as apples or strawberries; or even the savory, smoky taste of bacon packs an unexpected punch of flavor that takes it to a whole new level. The story goes that the name origin of the s’mores comes from children asking for “some more,” which was shortened to what we know today as the “s’more.” When this little bite of perfection is served up, there is no doubt there will be requests for s’more.
Emmi Swiss Chocolate Fondue delivers the rich flavor of traditional Swiss chocolate in one package ready to heat and eat. Emmi also offers varieties of cheese fondue, including Original Fondue made with authentic Le Gruyère AOC and Emmentaler AOC cheeses from Switzerland, Gorgonzola Fondue and Appenzeller Fondue.
