NATIONAL S’MORES DAY History S’more is a contraction of the phrase “some more.” One early published recipe for a s’more is found in a book of recipes published by the Campfire Marshmallows company in the 1920s, where it was called a “Graham Cracker Sandwich.” The text indicates that the treat was already popular with both Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. In 1927, a recipe for “Some More” was published in Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts. The contracted term “s’mores” appears in conjunction with the recipe in a 1938 publication aimed at summer camps. A 1956 recipe uses the name “S’Mores,” and lists the ingredients as “a sandwich of two graham crackers, toasted marshmallow and 1⁄2 chocolate bar.” A 1957 Betty Crocker cookbook contains a similar recipe under the name of “S’mores.” So basically this campfire treat has been around for almost 100 years!!
