The American S'mores brand

Was it madeleines by Proust? S'mores are our way of paying tribute to the past, and we'll go one step farther than you.

There is nothing quite like this traditional American dish to conjure up images of carefree camping beneath the stars and family holidays on the beach. It is gooey, melty, warm, and sweet.

The Girl Scouts were the first to get the recipe down in 1927 in the book "Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts," which transformed many a standard-issue campfire into a quintessential experience.

It is unknown whether they were the first to roast marshmallows and squish them between graham crackers with a bar of chocolate. However, it is known that they were the first to do so.

National S'mores Day is on August 10, so be sure you celebrate in a delicious way. I recommend that you sharpen those marshmallow sticks.

Nothing brings to mind happy camping trips with the family quite like this traditional American dish—it's warm, gooey, melty, and sweet.
