What is the American dessert made from roasted marshmallows and chocolate between graham crackers? It is a s'more.
A basic s'more places a toasted marshmallow and a piece of chocolate between two graham crackers. The marshmallow's heat softens the chocolate, while the crackers provide a crisp contrast to the sticky filling.
The name is a contraction of “some more,” reflecting the snack's famously repeatable appeal. Girl Scout publications from the mid-1920s describe a modern-style campfire preparation, and the shortened spelling “s'mores” became established by the 1930s.
S'mores grew out of earlier marshmallow-and-cracker confections, including the Marshmallow Marguerite. The traditional campfire method remains popular, but broilers, grills, and microwaves can also be used. Choco tacos and brownies may contain chocolate or marshmallow flavors, but they are not the named graham-cracker sandwich dessert. Variations swap in cookies, peanut butter cups, flavored marshmallows, or other fillings.
