Today is National S'mores Day. Remember when you were growing up and you used to make the sweet treats? Did your marshmallows get black and crusty? Have you ever had the strings of melted marshmallow stick to your face? For generations, these nearly pure-sugar treats have been enjoyed around campfires in the summertime. Some sources credit scouting groups with their invention and others site them as having been around since the early 1900s. The name is likely to have evolved from people asking for "some more". One thing is for certain and that is that s'mores can be addicting.
Several years ago, one of my sweet families at school gifted me with a dessert set at Christmastime. The set contained cookie mixes which were baked in this cute 5 inch cast iron skillet. It was perfect for holiday entertaining and I, of course, kept the skillet. It's just right for making oven s'mores. I sprinkled chocolate chips in the bottom, mini-marshmallows on top and then stuck it in the oven to melt. Graham crackers are used to scoop out the gooey contents. When is the last time you had s'mores? Do they bring back happy memories?
I hope your day has s'more fun!
