ANSWER: SO YOU’VE CONSUMED EVERY LAST ONE OF THOSE DELICIOUS CAMPFIRE TREATS? S’MORES THE PITY!
S’mores
Campfire Treat • Graham Crackers, Chocolate & Marshmallow
Overview
A s’more is a sweet treat traditionally made by sandwiching chocolate and a toasted marshmallow between two pieces of graham cracker. Especially popular in the United States and Canada, s’mores are strongly associated with campfires and outdoor gatherings.
How They’re Made
A marshmallow is commonly toasted over a campfire until its outside is browned and its center becomes soft. The hot marshmallow is then placed with a piece of chocolate between graham crackers, allowing the warmth to soften the chocolate.
Early Recipe
An early published recipe for the familiar treat appeared in the 1927 Girl Scouts handbook Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts. The recipe called the dessert “Some More” and described making it with graham crackers, chocolate, and toasted marshmallows.
What’s in a Name?
The name “s’more” is a contraction of “some more,” suggesting that the treat leaves people wanting another serving. The shortened spelling became the familiar name for the dessert and is now widely recognized.
Beyond the Campfire
The familiar combination of graham cracker, marshmallow, and chocolate has inspired countless variations. S’mores flavors can be found in cookies, brownies, cakes, ice cream, cereal, candy, and other desserts.
Campfire Tradition
S’mores have become an enduring part of camping culture, particularly at summer camps and family cookouts. Their simple preparation turns roasting marshmallows around a fire into both a shared activity and a dessert.
