We are Crazy About S'mores!

A warm ooey-gooey marshmallow cuddled next to a creamy piece of chocolate, sandwiched between two fresh graham crackers, when I think about the sensational combination of a S’more my mouth begins to water! As you take that first bite into the s’mores and the concoction of magnificent sweetness tickle your taste buds, you may begin to wonder who exactly invented S’mores. 

As you continue to dine on your delectable treat your mind begins to wonder. Just where did s’mores get their start? Were s’mores dropped on this planet by aliens? After a long day of hunting did the cave man and his family nibble on this sweet treat? Or did s’mores just appear out of the sky? Actually, no one is quite sure who invented s’mores, but according to the Hershey’s Chocolate website the first s’more recipe was discovered in a 1927 Girl Scouts handbook called, “Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts”. It is said that the name S’mores came about because people would eat one then beg for “some more”.  Check out Hershey’s webpage to see the timeline of the s’more!

 S’mores have evolved over time! From the campfire to the grill, from the grill to the microwave.  Now there are tons of innovative ways to eat s’mores! There are s’more dips, s’more shakes, s’more cookies, and s’more cakes. There is even s’more ice cream!!!

S’mores are so great they have their own song and their own National Day!!! August 10^th is considered National S’mores Day! We are so excited that we are celebrating National S’mores Day early! Join us Thursday, August 8^th at 3:00pm for our National S’Mores Day Open House!

Everyone is welcome to this event, the “s’more” the merrier! We hope to see you at our National S’mores Day Open House! Don’t worry--we’ll bring the s’mores!!!
