WATCH: Use this s'mores hack to avoid a mess

S'mores are a quintessential summer treat, and while the classic wire or stick can help achieve a perfectly toasted marshmallow, there's another way to enjoy the snack with less mess.

Chef, former culinary producer and recipe developer Jackie Rothong-Bakula shared her simple s'mores hack with "Good Morning America."

"Everybody loves a s'more, but it's always messy with kids and sticks and burnt marshmallows and lost marshmallows and tears," she said. "These make-ahead s'more's make all those 'ands' disappear."

Assemble-Ahead S'more Packs

Check out how Rothong-Bakula makes a foil packet and assembles the s'mores inside to wrap up and heat over a flame with ease.
