Microwaveable S'mores Maker
Either legend or fact has it that the first written record of s'mores dates back to 1927. But chances are, they did it the old-fashioned way back in the Roaring Twenties—with a twig and a roaring fire.
Thank goodness for modern technology. This handy little gadget microwaves two perfect s'mores in 30 seconds. A water tank heats them through evenly (no more gushy marshmallow and cold, hard chocolate), and the arms hold the top graham cracker in place so there's no slip and slide. And it's dishwasher safe; although, chances are, you'll still get pretty messy.

This is so cool I just bought one for my little cousins! (But maybe I need one too...)

Without sticks it's a NIX. Perfect s'mores require a crackling campfire, a marshmallow stick you picked out yourself and held over the hot coals until it reached that golden mallow nirvana, hot enough to melt the Hershey bar waiting on the graham. You know that's the only way. Starry sky and ticks are optional.

My roommate and I used to make Smores by impaling marshmallows on chopsticks left over from Chinese takeout and toasting them over those big three-wick pillar candles. It's faster than using the smaller candles because you get better heat distribution. Most of the fun of Smores is playing with fire anyway.

PerkyMac what does NIX mean?

S'mores are not s'mores without burnt sugar. This does not happen in the microwave. And hey, let's hear it for unitaskers!!

Yes, part of the pleasure is the burnt, crunchy crust on the marshmallows--it's as much about texture as flavor for me, anyway. And the burnt marshmallow smell : )

Jeez, how many landfills will see these things?

I agree with Buffy. You need an ever so slightly singed marshmallow to really make it a smore. This contraption would probably crank out something awful like the concoction on Top Chef this week. I don't know what's up with the Smore crimes lately - I had a shot Smore at PF Chang's last week and it was AWFUL. Way too sweet.

it is kind of adorable. like a little robot man with arms, making you a smore.

@pbelardo: Exactly what I thought when I saw this. Yet another dumb gadget that people will get as a gift to fill landfills after the 5th "WTF is this sh!t?" regifting.

It looks like a s'mores defibrillator. :)
