S’mores make you sticky, but they also make you slow down and smile.

When’s the last time you sat by a fire? Several important things happen by fires.

* We slow down

* We have longer conversations

* We relax and unwind

* We eat s’mores.

S’mores are silly but delicious. More importantly, they bring out the childlike nature in all of us. You can’t be dignified squishing a charred mallow between two grams. Just embrace the sticky mess and make it fun. S’mores are great for kids and families, but I’d argue they are one of those unhealthy exceptions that are good for everyone.

Grab some friends, find your fire, and lick your sticky fingers. Pro tip: The ultimate s’more ingredients: Belvita cinnamon crackers, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, fresh marshmallows. You’re welcome.
