Every summer of mine has been spent wakeboarding, roasting marshmallows and sleeping under the stars. Unfortunately, the dreaded day has finally come: I’ve begrudgingly accepted a nine to five desk job for the summer. Instead of teaching campers how to cook over a fire, I’ll be crunching numbers for a finance firm. It’s not nearly the same as spending the summer outdoors. Already feeling nostalgic, I set out to find a s’mores bar recipe to help quell my post-camp blues.
