A s’more is a classic campfire treat in the United States, traditionally made with three simple ingredients: graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. The name “s’more” is a contraction of “some more,” because they’re so delicious that you’ll likely want more!

How to Make S’mores

Ingredients:

  • Graham crackers
  • Marshmallows (preferably large)
  • Chocolate bars (milk chocolate is commonly used)

Instructions:

  1. Preparation:
    • Break a graham cracker in half to make two squares. Each s’more will use one full cracker (two squares).
    • Place a piece of chocolate on one of the graham cracker squares. You can adjust the amount based on your preference.
  2. Roasting the Marshmallow:
    • Use a skewer or a long stick to roast a marshmallow over an open flame (campfire, barbecue grill, or even a stove). Turn the marshmallow slowly for even roasting until it’s golden brown and gooey on the inside. Some people prefer it lightly toasted, while others like it charred.
  3. Assembling the S’more:
    • Once the marshmallow is roasted, carefully place it on top of the chocolate-covered graham cracker square.
    • Top the marshmallow with the other graham cracker square and gently press down to sandwich the marshmallow and chocolate together. This will melt the chocolate slightly, making the s’more extra gooey.
  4. Enjoy:
    • Let it cool for a moment, and then enjoy your delicious treat!

Variations

  • Peanut Butter S’more: Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the graham cracker before adding chocolate.
  • Nutella S’more: Use Nutella instead of chocolate bars for a creamy twist.
  • Fruit S’more: Add slices of banana or strawberries for a fruity flavor.
  • Caramel S’more: Drizzle some caramel sauce on the chocolate for extra sweetness.

S’mores are a fun and tasty treat, perfect for gatherings and outdoor adventures!
