Beausoleil Coastal Cuisine
While it may not be a s’more in the traditional sense, “The Campfire” from Beausoleil is still sure to evoke memories of toasting marshmallows over an open fire. This dessert consists of a peanut butter and chocolate ganache base, topped with a mound of toasted marshmallow fluff and ice cream and served atop a bed of graham cracker crumbs. beausoleilcoastal.com
