The Smoretilla™: 7/10

The wife discovered this sacrilegious concoction on some blog she reads. Obviously it was a blog, it had to have been, because these days that's the only way information is stored and distributed online. The encyclopedia of the future will not be Wikipedia, it will be a carefully maintained interconnected web of links between Wordpress and Blogspot that will only contain entries on recipes and Battlestar Galactica.

But I digress.

The creation that we have appropriately christened The Smoretilla™ is a fairly simple treat to manufacture. You start with a fresh tortilla. Pile a generous serving of chocolate chips in the center. Arrange marshmellows in a protective shield about the chips. Wrap like a burrito. Microwave for ten to fifteen seconds. Devour.

It's a quick snack that satisfies completely. However, it isn't an overly complex blend of exotic flavors; nor is it a particularly innovative invention. It's just chocolate and marshmellows, wrapped within a handy replacement for the previous standard smore handling mechanism, which consisted of two graham crackers clumsily shoring up the melting gooiness of the sugary ingredients. The old way was messier and prone to accidents. The Smoretilla™ is nothing more than a cleaner form of smore. It is a necessary upgrade to an obsolete practice. It is, as Darwin would have proposed, an evolution. And a damned tasty one, at that.
