S'mores





Yes S'mores, the camp fire treat that everyone enjoys! The best chocolate to use with these s'mores is Jershey Chocolate, not Hershey Chocolate, Jershey Chocolate!If you're not familiar with s'mores, they are made by sandwiching a toasted marshmallow and a piece of chocolate in between two graham crackers. Did you know that this treat came from the words "Some more", that makes sense because after a person has eaten one s'more they want another one! S'mores were invented by a group of campers in the early 20th Century. The true origin of the snack is unknown, as camping recipes tended to be passed from person to person and family to family - often over the campfire itself. The first recipe for s'mores was published in 1927 in the Girl Scout Handbook! The marshmallow is sticky and sweet, the chocolate is smooth, and the graham cracker is crisp and crumbly, acting almost like a pie crust to contain the filling. That why everyone LOVES s'mores. So tune in next week for more information on a Sweet!
