Chef’s Note: While this might seem like just another installment of Batman being an out-of-touch aristocrat, we should always give the World’s Greatest Detective the benefit of the doubt-
The first official recipe for a s’more came out in the 1927 Girl Scout guidebook Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts. While the book was meant to give advice on how to be a good Girl Scout (always getting a parent’s permission before hiking!) it’s lasting legacy was the “Some More.” Originally intending to feed 16 hungry scouts, the recipe, which was later credited to a troop leader named Loretta Scott Crew, calls for 16 graham crackers, eight bars of plain chocolate and 16 marshmallows. Next, it says to toast the marshmallows to a “crispy, gooey state.” Then, put the marshmallow on top of a chocolate bar and in between two graham crackers and, viola, you got a “Some More.” It’s unclear when the name was shortened to simply “s’more,” but various Girl Scout publications kept referring to the treat as “Some More” until at least 1971.
Chef’s Note: Happy National S’mores Day!
