S'Mores and Camping just go together! It's like peanut butter and jelly, you can't go camping without the three special ingredients: Gram crackers, marshmallows and chocolate! It brings every adult with one delicious gooey bite flooding back memories from childhood.
On Wednesday, August 10, 2011 celebrate your childhood with National S'Mores Day!
The origin of the dessert is unclear, but the 1st recorded version can be found in an 1927 publication "Tamping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts". Who ever invented this treat, I would like to say thank you!
