National S’mores Day

National S’mores Day was created especially for those with a sweet tooth and a love for the outdoors. If you’ve ever enjoyed relaxing by a fire, chances are you’ve indulged in this warm, gooey treat. This holiday is the perfect excuse to enjoy s’mores again—or try them for the very first time.

History

While the origin of the holiday remains unknown, the dessert itself has a well-documented past. S’mores were invented by Scouts and appeared in cookbooks as early as the 1920s. Despite being simple to make, there are many variations—especially when it comes to how toasted the marshmallows should be.

Traditionally, s’mores are made over a campfire, but they can also be prepared in a microwave or oven for a quick indoor version.

Interesting Facts

  • S’mores-flavored beer is produced by several craft breweries across the U.S.
  • You can make a healthier version by using dark chocolate, whole grain crackers, and low-sugar marshmallows.
  • Many people enjoy s’mores not just for the taste, but for the nostalgic fun of roasting marshmallows over an open flame.

How to Take Part

Celebrate by making your own s’mores over a fire. All you need are graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows. Invite friends to join you—this dessert is meant to be shared while swapping stories or singing songs by the fire. Don’t forget to snap some photos to remember the fun.

Feeling adventurous? Add your own twist to the recipe. Try including berries, nuts, caramel, or flavored sauces. Your unique creation might become the next campfire favorite!
