Give Me Some
More!
That was the chant, as the best
campfire dessert was being passed
around, and finally shorted to;
S’more.
The book, Tramping and Trailing with
the Girl Scouts, dated 1927, is where
the s’more makes its first
appearance. Of course the Girl
Scouts would have created this
campfire treat. They are ever ready
and are well known historically for
their camp skills.
My recipe of the month, is a menu of
some of the newest combos being
tried around our campfires, at Baileys Palomar Resort, Luxury camping,
or "Glamping as it is called today”. We offer a gourmet kit for our Luxury
campsites. A more grown-up version of the tried and true variety.
Gram crackers, marshmallows add a square or two of chocolate. Melted
over a camp fire, under the stars.
Doesn’t get much better than that. Webster's list the Moon Pie, as a close
cousin to the S’more. Today's, Pop Tarts are also considered a S’more
treat.
August 10th is National S’mores Day! So, you have plenty of time to get
your best recipe together and honor one of our oldest campfire traditions.
Okay here is how it is done:
First: set up the gram crackers on a table, with chocolate square on top.
Next, put your marshmallow on the stick, (you can purchase a
marshmallow roaster from a camping store, or bend a coat hanger into a
long stick.
Caution! Always, have adult supervision when around fire.
Once your Marshmallow has caught fire, let it burn, but, not to long. Set it
on the chocolate, put the top cracker on, and there you have it, S’mores.
Or that’s what you’ll be saying!
Weather you're going for something different or the tried and true version,
it's a great treat before you start your campfire sing-along or your story
telling for the night.
Have a wonderful summer, and please, yell: S’more!
See you around the camp fire,
Terri Bailey
Girl Scouts safety tip: when around a campfire, wear a bandana scarf on
your head to prevent your hair from accidentally catching on fire.
