National Smores Day!!

Today is dedicated to a classic treat. One that symbolizes camp-fire fun, good times with family and friends, and late night bonding. The simple joy that that melting marshmallow, chocolately, graham cracker goodness brings is timeless and that is why August 10 is National S'mores Day.

For those who are unsure of what a smore is (blasphemy!) it is the simple sandwiching of a small piece of flat chocolate and a marshmallow between two graham crackers. The marshmallows are traditionally toasted over a fire since this little treat is a campfire classic.

The name is rumored to have come from the phrase "some more" and the first official recording of in a Girl Scouts manual.

Let's say you loves smores, but want some variation.
Here are some ideas:

1) Coat the inside of the graham crackers with peanut butter

2) Coat the insides of the graham cracker with nutella or replace the chocolate with a spread of nutella

3) Use different types of chocolate! Try out peanut butter chocolate, chocolate with nuts, or mint chocolate. Just remember the chocolate has to be thin enough to stay in the sandwich.

There are some more Smore Ideas at sugardoodle.net.

But what happens if you are nowhere near a campfire? You can use an oven, a microwave, or heck you can even put it all in a delicious crepe. We have a delicious Smore's Crepe that is a musthave in honor of National Smores Day.

So go off and celebrate the excuse to eat chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers all you want.
