The great American camping treat has a long history. According to some reliable reports, the first mention of s’mores was in 1920 when Campfire Marshmallows published a book. During that time, the recipe was popular as the ‘Graham Cracker Sandwich’.
Later, the Girl Scouts published a similar recipe called ‘Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts’ in 1927. However, they started calling it ‘Some More’. So, this is how the name was created.
During the 30s and 50s era, many people started experimenting and we got different recipes. However, the ideal one can be made with one marshmallow, two graham crackers, and milk chocolate squares.
However, there’s no valid source of who established this event. Or, we even don’t know when the first national day was celebrated.
