A s'more is a traditional campfire treat consisting of roasted marshmallow, and pieces of chocolate, sandwiched between two pieces of Graham cracker. In the United States, people often associate s'mores with recreational camping, as is often done through the Girl or Boy Scouts. Part of the delicacy of this simple dessert is the way in which it is made. Making s'mores is so popular that supermarkets will often carry Graham crackers, marshmallows, and gargantuan chocolate bars in the same shelf section during the summer months.

Before roasting the marshmallow, one must prepare two pieces of graham cracker, and a layer of chocolate.
The individual then places a marshmallow at the end of his or her stick. Using the stick to place the marshmallow directly above the flame or source of heat, it is up to each individual the degree to which his or her marshmallow is toasted or burned.
Then, place the toasted marshmallow in between two pieces of graham cracker, with a layer of chocolate bar in between.
Preparation
First, individuals build a campfire for roasting marshmallows. Then each camper finds a long stick from the woods (a thin, long wooden dowell may be a good substitute). The stick, which is usually taken from the ground as part of a dead treebranch, does not have to be sterilized, but simply clear of any brush. Substitutions
Different types of s'mores may be found in restaurants, or prepared at home.
