From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A s'more is a traditional campfire treat consisting of roasted marshmallow, and pieces of chocolate, sandwiched between two pieces of Graham cracker. In the United States, people often associate s'mores with recreational camping, as is often done through the Girl or Boy Scouts. Part of the delicacy of this simple dessert is the way in which it is made. Making s'mores is so popular that supermarkets will often carry Graham crackers, marshmallows, and gargantuan chocolate bars in the same shelf section during the summer months.
Different types of s'mores may be found in restaurants, or prepared at home.
Etymology
S'more appears to be a contraction of the phrase, "some more", as in "Please, give me some more of that delicious treat." The informal nature of this term reflects the environment in which s'mores are traditionally served. Some have jokingly surmised that the name originated from people who were so busy eating the tasty dessert that they did not have time to
speak in complete sentences.External Links
