Being in the uk I know we can't get graham crackers, and allegedly there's no alternative. But I really really reeeeaaaaly want to make s'mores with my 2 year old when we camp in Cornwall in August. Can anyone make any suggestions??
Also, may other quick and easy meal ideas/ recipes also welcomed!

What's the 'graham cracker' recipe louise? We might be able to suggest an alternative recipe using available ingredients.
No real recipe, just basically a sandwich... The crackers are the bread and the filling is melted chocolate and marshmallow, all sticky and gooey and yummy, prepared over the camp fire :-)
My neighbour is American and she uses either Rich Tea or Digestive biscuits to make s'mores when camping in the UK.
For an extra indulgent twist, use chocolate or the chocolate caramel digestives!!
We use Rich Tea biscuits for s'mores. I remember being fascinated by Graham Crackers when I read the "Ramona Quimby" series as a little girl, I just assumed they were like cream crackers - clearly not!
Aah thanks guys for your suggestions. Obviously we'll have to use this an excuse to experiment with lots of different types of biscuits, therefore meaning we'll need to make them every night. For experimental reasons only, of course ;-) xx
Asian supermarkets sometimes have them as they import a lot of American food and usually not overly priced either. I have seen them beside a Chinese equivalent.
