The Delicious History of S'mores
You can trace the origin of s'mores back to the early 1900s through the Girl Scouts. The first known s'mores recipe was published in the Girl Scouts handbook "Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts" in 1927. The recipe was called "Some More" and quickly became a popular treat among Girl Scouts on camping trips.More About S'mores
The name "s'more" is a contraction of the phrase "some more," what campers would say when they wanted another serving. The first recorded use of "s'more" was in a 1938 recipe book called "The Campfire Girls' Book."The Classic Recipe
The classic s'more recipe contains three ingredients: graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows. To make a s'more, roast a marshmallow over an open flame until it's golden brown and gooey. Then, you sandwich the marshmallow between two graham crackers and a piece of chocolate. The heat from the marshmallow melts the chocolate, creating a deliciously sweet and crunchy treat.Variations on S'mores
Over the years, people have put their spin on the classic s'more recipe. Some variations include using different types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate. Others use different types of crackers, such as cinnamon or chocolate graham crackers. Some even add toppings like peanut butter or bacon to make their s'mores even more unique.

The best advice I can give you is not to do what my sister did last fall at her s'mores party. She ordered three 8-packs of brand-new metal with wood handle skewers. They worked great; however, she didn't think about what to do with them after the roasting. They were everywhere, stuck to the table, resting against the fence, in the grass, and one was in the fire. So, start with a bucket with a couple of squirts of BKF MORE Spray + Foam. It will save you a lot of icky sticky goo to clean up. Then you can use the original powdered Cleanser or our Cookware Cleanser & Polish. That's right, Cookware cleanser!- Leave the skewers wet
- Sprinkle a bit of Cookware Cleanser & Polish or powdered cleanser on the metal skewers
- Rub them with a damp cloth or sponge
- Rinse within one minute of application
- Wipe the skewers dry and watch them shine up!
- Wet the rusted skewer
- Sprinkle some Bar Keepers Friend cleanser onto a soft wet cloth or non-abrasive sponge
- Scrub the skewer
- Don't leave BKF on longer than one minute
- Thoroughly rinse
- For heavily grimed and rusted skewers, you may need to repeat
- When all the rust is off, wash the skewer in warm soapy water
- Immediately dry and polish the silverware with a soft cloth
