This past weekend we had some guests over for a backyard fire. We have a copper fire pit that we use. Our fire pit was a gift many years ago. I love it. It is the perfect size and easy to move around the yard. I end up changing the location of the fire pit each summer. There are so many great places to put it! Thanks goodness it is easy to move.
For our guests, I wanted to spice up the traditional s'mores that usually go with a fire. To do that, I decided to a toasted marshmallow toppings bar.
I had sticks for toasting, marshmallows, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, chocolate bars, crushed graham crackers, broken pretzels and salt.
I wanted people to be able to create different combinations of flavors, aside from the traditional chocolate bar and graham cracker.
I set up a small table with a vintage table linen near the fire pit. I had the toppings and sticks on one of my wicker serving baskets. I used small side bowls for the toppings and sauces. I used a small drinking glass to hold the toasting sticks.
It was a simple and easy presentation. My kind of entertaining when I want to focus on relaxing and enjoying my guests.

I have other flavors in mind and I can't wait for the next fire! Maybe tomorrow night?
