S'more

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Arrange the graham cracker squares on a plate; break the milk chocolate bar into four 1-ounce portions and set one portion on four of the squares.

  2. 2.

    Skewer the large marshmallows and toast over gentle campfire embers or low flame, turning constantly, 1–3 minutes, until evenly golden-brown outside and soft and molten inside.

  3. 3.

    Slide one toasted marshmallow onto each prepared base, cap with the reserved squares, press lightly so the chocolate begins to melt, 10–20 seconds, and let stand 30–60 seconds before serving.

A s'more is a beloved campfire treat that layers creamy chocolate and a freshly toasted marshmallow between crisp graham crackers. The contrast of textures—crackly biscuit, gooey marshmallow, and soft, melty chocolate—makes it both playful and deeply satisfying. Its flavor profile is simple yet nostalgic: honeyed graham sweetness, milky chocolate richness, and caramelized notes from the toasted marshmallow.

The s'more is rooted in early 20th-century American outdoor culture and is closely associated with scouting and campfire cooking. A printed recipe appeared in a 1927 Girl Scouts guidebook, cementing its place in family and camping traditions. Over time, it has inspired countless riffs and spin-offs, but the essential trio of graham crackers, marshmallow, and milk chocolate remains iconic.
