The Sweetest Tradition at Under Canvas: The Nightly S’more
Let’s be real — you might come to Under Canvas for the trails, the sunsets, or the insane stargazing. But there’s one thing that sneaks up and becomes the highlight of your day: s’mores.
Yep. Gooey, chocolatey, slightly burnt perfection. And somehow, they taste even better under a sky full of stars.
How to Make the Perfect Under Canvas S’more (and Why You Should)
Step 1: Grab Your Gear
Every night, the firepit is ready, and so is the s’more station. You’ll need:
1 graham cracker (or two, if you’re serious)
1 chocolate square
1 marshmallow
1 roasting stick
A smile and zero rush
Pro tip: don’t forget a blanket. It’s chilly under the stars.
Step 2: Fire It Up
Stick your marshmallow over the flames — but don’t just drop it in! Hold it close enough to get golden brown (or black if you’re feeling rebellious). Listen to the crackle, smell the smoke — this is part of the experience.
Step 3: Chocolate Meets Marshmallow
Once your marshmallow is perfectly toasted (or delightfully burnt), sandwich it between your graham crackers with a square of chocolate. Press gently. Let the marshmallow melt the chocolate just enough to ooze over the sides.
Step 4: The First Bite
Now comes the best part: bite in slowly. Warning: sticky fingers, chocolate on your nose, maybe a laugh or two — this is all normal. Look up at the sky while you eat. The stars are brighter here, promise.
Step 5: Repeat (Optional but Strongly Recommended)
One s’more is rarely enough. Make a second (or third) and share with friends, family, or new neighbors you met by the fire. It’s not just dessert — it’s community.
A Final Bite
S’mores at Under Canvas aren’t just about sugar — they’re about slowing down, laughing, connecting, and making memories.
So go ahead… grab a stick, roast that marshmallow, and let the night unfold. You’ll leave with chocolate on your fingers and a smile you won’t forget.
