Tabletop S'mores

The s'more, long the best thing about camping, is popping up on restaurant menus. But you don't have to rough it or dine out to enjoy the marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cracker treat -- with a little ingenuity, you can bring in the taste of the outdoors.

• Pick up a can of unscented Sterno gel at a hardware store. When lit, it produces a smokeless flame to keep buffet food warm.

• You can turn it into a mini-campfire by placing the can in a heatproof container (we used a ceramic bowl filled with sand). A fondue fork or long wooden skewer takes the place of a sharpened stick.

• Toast the marshmallow; then sandwich it between 2 graham crackers with a bit of chocolate -- and enjoy!
