1. Break a graham crackers in half and place a piece of chocolate on one of the halves.
2. Put marshmallow on stick and roast over an open flame (adult supervision is required).
3. Once the marshmallow is roasted to your desire, place it on top of the cracker with the chocolate and then place the other graham cracker on top of the marshmallow. Carefully pull the marshmallow off the stick.
