What are s’mores?

S’mores are a classic American campfire treat that consists of a toasted marshmallow and a piece of chocolate sandwiched between two graham crackers. The heat of the toasted marshmallow melts the chocolate, creating a gooey, delicious treat. The name “s’mores” is actually a contraction of the phrase “some more,” which describes the feeling of wanting to eat another one.

What is the origin of s’mores?

The exact origin of traditional s’mores is unclear, but it is believed that they were first created by campers in the early 20th century. The first recorded recipe for s’mores appeared in a 1927 publication called “Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts.” The recipe was called “Some More” and listed the ingredients as graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. Since then, s’mores have become a beloved American tradition and a popular dessert at summer camps, backyard barbecues, and other outdoor gatherings.

What cookies or crackers do you use to make s’mores?

Traditionally, graham crackers are used for s’mores. Graham crackers are a type of slightly sweet, whole wheat cracker that has a texture that is perfect for s’mores. However, many people also use other types of crackers or cookies to create their own unique s’mores. For example, cinnamon graham crackers, chocolate graham crackers, or shortbread cookies can all be used as a substitute for the classic graham crackers. Ultimately, the choice of crackers or cookies is up to personal preference, and experimentation is encouraged to find the perfect combination of flavors and textures for your ideal s’more.

What sweet treats do I need for an epic s’mores board?

At the very least, you will need Hershey’s candy bars, marshmallows and graham crackers. However, to make a truly spectacular dessert charcuterie board, you will also need fresh fruit such as strawberries plus other cookies such as fudge stripe cookies, shortbread or pirouettes. Mini brownies also add a delicious touch, while including Nutella, caramel and marshmallow fluff in small bowls guarantee even more fun for your guests. The best part is that you can use what you have and I have never had leftovers.
