Microwave S’mores
8 graham cracker squares
4 - 1 oz. squares Hershey chocolate bar
4 large marshmallows

Put a paper towel on a microwaveable plate and put 4 graham square crackers on it. Place a square of chocolate in the center of each cracker and top with a marshmallow. Microwave on high until the marshmallow gets puffy, about 15-30 seconds. Watch it so it won’t burn. When it’s done, top each with a second cracker. Let cool before eating, or you’ll burn your mouth.
