who invented s'mores

S'mores were popularized with a recipe first published in 1927 by the Girl Scouts, and Loretta Scott Crew is often credited with sharing this original recipe. The treat consists of toasted marshmallow and chocolate sandwiched between two graham crackers. While the combination of ingredients predates the recipe, the 1927 Girl Scout handbook "Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts" marks the first official introduction of the s'mores recipe to popular culture. The term "s'mores" is believed to be a contraction of "some more," referencing how quickly people wanted more of the treat. The ingredients themselves—graham crackers, chocolate bars, and marshmallows—have roots in 19th-century inventions and health movements but were brought together in this iconic form in the early 20th century[citation].
