Trail Mash'ums

RecipeHFDoMM2024

Travel among the storied hamlets, villages, and cities of the Sword Coast requires a great deal of time...and food. So aside from a homestead or tavern, campfire cooking is one of the most common ways to enjoy a repast in the Realms. Mash'ums are a popular trailside treat that are sure to satisfy a sweet tooth. Originated by the people of Farsea Marshes west of Cormyr, fresh marshmallows are roasted over an open flame until they are golden and gooey, sprinkled with a touch of cinnamon and cayenne, then stuffed between two thick shortbread cookies and a chunk of chocolate to create a warm, stomach-pleasing dessert sandwich. On those long, cold nights when the embers are dying and party spirits are, too, a fresh round of Mash'ums is sure to bring companions together.

    "In selecting which cookies to use, try to approximate the size (at least 2½ inches in diameter, to help support the squishy marshmallow) and relative thickness (thinner cookies make for a more manageable mouthful) of the graham cracker squares used in standard s'mores.",
    "If you want to strike out into other cookie varieties like butter crunch or butter pecan—both Tate's Bake Shop brand and Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Thin & Crispy cookies—work well, as does Trader Joe's Belgian Butter Waffle Cookies."
