Although no one knows for certain where the original idea for s’mores came from, it’s widely accepted that the first known s’mores recipe is credited to the Girl Scouts. A recipe, originally named Some Mores, appeared in their 1927 handbook, “Tramping and Trailing With the Girl Scouts.” It’s early predecessors, the mallomar and moon pie, were first thought of in 1913 and 1917 respectively.
But regardless of how this sweet treat came to be, one thing is for sure: We are grateful. And we think you should treat yourself! After all, a marshmallow is half air. Don’t believe us? Look it up! Over the years, s’mores connoisseurs have experimented with substitutions for the three classic ingredients—marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers—and some of the results are definitely worth trying.
