There is no “right” way to make a S’more. Anyway you like it, is the right way. This recipe is one that has been passed down through years of family and scout camps. If your children haven’t tasted them yet, then you need to make sure to bring the right stuff to make them for your next camping trip, because they are missing out on an American classic.
Traditionally made over an oven bonfire, but you can bring this treat into the kitchen. Some people think you can’t have or enjoy S’mores without a large bonfire, but you can. Home in front of the stove is ok, but really you should be out tent camping.
No one is really sure who invented S’mores, because the recipe has basically been passed around by word of mouth since then. The first known recipe appeared in the 1927 Girl Scout hand book called Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts.
