History of S’mores

S’mores have been around for over 100 years. The first known recipe for “some mores” was published in 1927 in a Girl Scout handbook. The recipe calls for toasting marshmallows over a campfire and then sandwiching them between two graham crackers with a piece of chocolate.

The name “s’more” is thought to be a contraction of the phrase “give me some more.” And it’s easy to see why this dessert is so popular—it’s easy to make, it’s delicious, and it’s perfect for sharing with friends. So whether you’re roasting marshmallows over a campfire or sitting around the kitchen table, s’mores are always a good idea.

S’more Recipes

While the classic s’more is always a winner, there are plenty of ways to mix things up. If you’re looking for something a little bit different, try one of these flavor combinations:

• Chocolate Peanut Butter: Replace the chocolate in your s’more with a chocolate peanut butter cup.
• Maple Bacon: Add a slice of cooked bacon to your s’more for a sweet and savory twist.
• Strawberry Shortcake: Swap out the graham crackers for shortcake biscuits and add fresh strawberries for a summery twist.
• Key Lime Pie: Trade the chocolate for key lime pie filling (or even just lime curd) for a tart and refreshing treat.
• Caramel Apple: Slice up an apple and add caramel sauce in place of the chocolate for a fall-inspired twist.
• Rocky Road: Mix up your classic s’more by adding chopped nuts and mini marshmallows to the chocolate before sandwiching it between the graham crackers.
• Mint Chocolate Chip: Add some peppermint extract (or even just mint extract) to your marshmallow fluff before sandwiching it between the graham crackers and chocolate. You can also use mint chocolate chips instead of regular chocolate chips for an extra minty kick.
• Cinnamon Bun: Spread some cinnamon sugar on your Graham Crackers before adding the chocolate and marshmallow for a sweet and spicy flavor combination.
  There are endless possibilities when it comes to flavor combinations, so get creative! These are just a few ideas to get you started.
