Anytime S’mores

Smores are a delicious treat that many made as a child when camping. Smores were first noted as a recipe thanks to a 1927 publication of the Girl Scouts “Tramping and Trailing”. Smores have been a children’s favorite treat ever since.

It doesn’t have to be summer to make up a batch of smores. You can make smores at anytime of the year. A couple of bars of chocolate, a box of graham crackers, and a bag of marshmallows means an evening of entertainment. These would be a perfect treat for movie night at home!
Yield: 1 serving.
1 whole graham cracker – break in half
2 large marshmallows or 6 or 7 miniature marshmallows
3 or 4 squares of chocolate from a chocolate bar

Preheat your oven to 475 degrees. On a baking sheet place 1/2 of a graham cracker, top with marshmallows, and heat until marshmallow begins to melt. This will take about 3-4 minutes, remove baking sheet from oven, top warm marshmallows with chocolate, then the other half of the graham cracker.

Did you know that it is said that S’mores got their came from the phrase “some more”? I can promise you have never had one of these chocolaty treat, you will definitely be asking for “some more” by the time you finish your first one. S’mores are made up graham crackers, chocolate bars, and marshmallows.

Do you have a favorite Smore memory?  I loved making these when I was in girl scouts.  I am personally of the camp where the marshmallow should catch fire when roasted over a camp fire.  I love the charred bits, and that would typically gross out my fellow campers.   Smores made by me as a child never looked to pretty, but they should tasted wonderful.
