Inspiration: Duran Duran “All She Wants Is”
Trust us. These Duran Duran-inspired, vodka-infused treats are your lead to heaven. But be warned. They’re not the s’mores you remember from Girl Scouts. Probably best not to give any to the shoeshine boy.
S’mores, the beloved campfire treat made of roasted marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers, have a history as rich as their flavor. This classic dessert has become synonymous with summer nights, bonfires, and outdoor gatherings, but its origins are rooted in American culinary history, particularly in the world of scouting and camping.
The first recorded recipe for s’mores can be traced back to the 1920s. The treat is believed to have been popularized by the Girl Scouts, who included the recipe in their 1927 guidebook titled Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts. The recipe was called “Some More,” a name that likely originated from the natural response of anyone who tasted the delicious combination—immediately wanting “some more.” Over time, the name was shortened to “s’mores,” which became the commonly used term.
The three key ingredients of s’mores—graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate—each have their own distinct histories:
The popularity of s’mores grew throughout the 20th century, particularly as camping and outdoor recreation became more widespread. The treat became a symbol of the great American outdoors, representing simplicity, fun, and the joy of sharing food around a campfire.
S’mores have since transcended their campfire origins, inspiring countless variations and adaptations. Today, you can find s’mores-flavored snacks, drinks, and desserts in grocery stores and restaurants. The treat has even made its way into popular culture, with references in movies, television shows, and books.
In modern times, s’mores are enjoyed year-round, both indoors and outdoors. Portable campfire kits, microwaveable s’mores makers, and even s’mores-flavored products have made it easier than ever to enjoy this treat without needing a campfire. While the classic combination of graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows remains the favorite, creative twists on the original recipe, such as using different types of chocolate or adding peanut butter, have also gained popularity.
S’mores continue to hold a special place in American culinary tradition, evoking nostalgia and the simple pleasures of gathering around a fire with friends and family.
