S'more

S'mores are a favorite campfire treat made with three simple ingredients: marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers. Although traditionally made on the campfire, if you want s'mores at home there are recipes that allow you to do them with a stove, microwave or grill.

The first mention of s'mores was in 1927 in the Girl Scout Handbook although the true origin is unknown.
