S'more

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 large chocolate bars in the same shelf section during the summer months.

Preparation

First, individuals build a campfire for roasting marshmallows. Then each
camper finds a long stick from the woods (a thin, long wooden dowell may be
a good substitute). The stick, which is usually taken from the ground as
part of a dead treebranch, does not have to be sterilized, but simply clear
of any brush.

Before roasting the marshmallow, one must prepare two pieces of graham
cracker, and a layer of chocolate.

The individual then places a marshmallow at the end of his or her stick.
Using the stick to place the marshmallow directly above the flame or source
of heat, it is up to each individual the degree to which his or her
marshmallow is toasted or burned.

Then, place the toasted marshmallow in between two pieces of graham cracker,
with a layer of chocolate bar in between.

Substitutions

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.
