Today's Reason to Celebrate

August 10, 2011 was

National S'mores Day

It’s National S’mores Day! S'mores are a delicious treat made from three simple ingredients—graham crackers, toasted marshmallows, and melted chocolate bars. Yum!

The first official s'mores recipe was published in the Girl Scout Handbook in 1927, but culinary historians believe that the tradition began much earlier. Over the years, the recipe was passed from camper to camper and eventually became the most famous fireside dessert. Ever wondered why it is called a s’more? Because you’ll always want "some more" of this decadent sweet!

Today, make a backyard campfire, and have some s’mores. No bonfire? No problem! You can toast marshmallows in a toaster oven or a microwave. Happy National S'mores Day!
