What kid doesn't love s'mores? These jazzed-up classic camping s’mores feature a flaky croissant crust and heaping portions. You'll get that hint of smoky flavor you'd get at the campsite without having to scrounge up sticks.

INGREDIENTS
- 6 mini croissants, sliced in half
- 25 large marshmallows
- 8 ounces thin squares good-quality chocolate
- Heat the grill to medium-high (400°F)
- Place the croissant halves on the grill grate, cut-side down and toast the croissants for only one minute (they will toast quickly so keep a close eye on them).
- Remove from grill and assemble the s'mores by layering marshmallows and chocolate squares and top with the other croissant half to make a toasty croissant s'mores sandwich.
- Place the croissant sandwiches on the grill and toast for 30 seconds to one minute to allow the chocolate to melt and marshmallows to get golden.
- Remove the s'mores from the grill and serve warm while they're still gooey. Enjoy!
