You can easily toast marshmallows over the flame of a gas stove, or "hob" as they call it in Europe. It certainly doesn't have the cachet of a campfire, especially for us Brokies.
I've learned to substitute these kosher marshmallows which are made from plant gelatins, rather than gelatin that is the byproduct of animal processing.
Of course, you could go authentic and make marshmallows out of (what else?) mallow root. It grows all over. You can also use lovage, angelica, or other plants that have soft fleshy roots. You just soak them in sugar syrup or any other syrup.
Now, for the chocolate part, I like your idea of using Ghirardelli squares. I've tasted a lot of chocolate lately and those give the Swiss chocolate a run for the money!

That's true. I wouldn't go that far myself, but a s'more lover could!
Anyway, since all of the s'mores I've ever eaten were toasted on campfires in Minnesota, I also wasn't sure how widespread the custom was. It's like trying to guess whether people outside the US have heard of people in the GtPPoT thread. Brad Pitt? Probably. Jennifer Aniston? I don't know.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
Last night was the socially distant fire pit night, and the s'mores were a hit.
When I turn the work laptop off at 5:00 on Fridays I generally leave it off until Monday, but this weekend was different. I have a very big report that needs to be submitted by noon on the 3rd business day of the month, which is this Monday. As of Friday the report was not yet done. I usually work on it with my coworker, Sacha.
Sacha and I decided to get together today to finish it, so I signed on the laptop, and had intended to work with her to finish it. However, she got stuck doing something with her girls, so I stayed on alone and did other work for about an hour, and then shut down.
We're going to meet up tomorrow about 3:00 to finish the work, and this way I can get it approved and then submit it by noon on Monday.

I must admit, I would be worried about doing them in the kitchen over the burner. I would be worried that they would fall off the skewer and then I'd have a melted gooey mess to clean up.

Or they could catch fire and drop onto the paper towel on the stove and ...
