S'mores originated in the early 20th century, popularized by Girl Scouts.
–
The name "s'more" comes from the phrase "some more," reflecting the treat’s irresistible nature.
The first known recipe for s'mores appeared in a Girl Scout cookbook in 1927.
S'mores are traditionally made with graham crackers, chocolate, and roasted marshmallows.
The combination of sweet, salty, and gooey makes them a perfect campfire treat.
The treat became more widely recognized after Girl Scouts included it in their campfire activities.
The chocolate used in s'mores was typically Hershey’s, which helped popularize the treat.
S'mores became a staple in American camping culture by the 1940s.
Today, s'mores are enjoyed year-round, not just by campers, but in various forms.
