Kids Gotta Love S’mores!
by rbc
Let’s talk s’mores… Don’t you just love ‘em? You know how to make them. Take two graham crackers and a piece of plain milk chocolate, roast a marshmallow on a stick over a fire, and make a chocolate marshmallow sandwich with the graham crackers. Some people like their marshmallow golden brown and gooey, while others are fine burning the marshmallow a little bit to make a charred skin. Either way, they are an excellent sweet treat out around the campfire and one of every kid’s favorite outdoor activities.
Did you know that nobody knows for sure who invented s’mores? The first recorded recipe appears in a Girl Scout book called Tramping and Trailing published in 1927, but s’mores were certainly around before that. For example, Moon Pies, which are also made of a cracker, marshmallow and chocolate, were first produced in 1917. It’s a bit of a mystery, but it’s fun to think that making s’mores has been an outdoor activity kids have enjoyed at Rockbrook since the very beginning.

I remember one time during camp I was in WHOA and they said we were going to roast Starbursts but they ran out right before our group was going to do it. Everyone was bummed; but the counselers had a plan to make it up to us- they let us eat as many s’mores as we wanted! It was so much fun and I still remember it!
