What you'll make
Picture your guests huddled around little flames after dinner, toasting marshmallows on long sticks and squishing them between graham crackers and chocolate, just like at a campfire. A pan of river pebbles, s'mores fuel cans and a bundle of bamboo sticks turns any table into a s'mores bar. About $31 for 50 guests with two flames, roughly $26 less than buying two ready-made tabletop s'mores burners and the same fuel (food not included either way).
