S'more

Rare card · No. 57059

A s'more (pronounced , or ) is a confection consisting of a toasted marshmallow and chocolate, sandwiched between graham crackers. In a typical preparation, the marshmallow is toasted over a campfire, and the heat of the marshmallow melts the chocolate, fusing the sandwich together. At home or in restaurants, s'mores are prepared using a range of heating units, including broilers, grills and microwaves. Numerous variations exist that substitute the basic elements and add new ingredients. S'mores are also used as a flavor, in foods such as brownies and cupcakes, and in products such as Pop-Tarts. The predecessor to the s'more is the Marshmallow Marguerite, a small confection of buttered marshmallow on a saltine cracker that became popular in the early 20th century. In some variations, graham crackers and melted chocolate were included. In the mid-1920s, records of Girl Scouts preparing "Some Mores" using the modern recipe appear, with the contraction s'more arising by the 1930s. More elaborate...
