Contents 1 Etymology and origins 2 Preparation 3 Variations 4 See also 5 References Etymology and origins S'more is a contraction of the phrase `` some more ''. One early published recipe for a s'more is found in a book of recipes published by the Campfire Smores company in the 1920s where it was called a `` Graham Cracker Sandwich ''. The text indicates that the treat was already popular with both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. In 1927, a recipe for `` Some More '' was published in Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts. The contracted term `` s'mores '' appears in conjunction with the recipe in a 1938 publication aimed at summer camps. A 1956 recipe uses the name `` S'Mores '', and lists the ingredients as `` a sandwich of two graham crackers, toasted marshmallow and ​ ⁄ chocolate bar ''. A 1957 Betty Crocker cookbook contains a similar recipe under the name of `` s'mores ''. The 1958 publication Intramural and Recreational Sports for High School and College makes reference to `` marshmallow toasts '' and `` s'mores hikes '' as does its related predecessor, the `` Intramural and Recreational Sports for Men and Women '' published in 1949. Preparation S'mores are traditionally cooked using a campfire, though they can also be made at home in an oven, in a microwave or with a s'mores - making kit. A marshmallow, usually held by a metal or wooden skewer, is heated over the fire until it is golden brown. The warm marshmallow is then added on top of half of a graham cracker and a piece of chocolate. The second half of the cracker is then added on top. Variations Various confections containing graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow are often sold as some derivative of a s'mores, but they are not necessarily heated or served in the same shape as the traditional s'mores. The Hershey 's S'mores bar is one example. Pop - Tarts also feature a s'mores variety. S'mores can be eaten during Passover if made with Kosher for Passover marshmallows, chocolate and matzo.
