Toasted marshmallow treats
S'mores are a campfire treat made by sandwiching toasted marshmallow and chocolate between graham crackers.
The name contracts "some more," reflecting how the gooey, messy snack invites seconds.
S'mores are strongly associated with camping, summer camps, and outdoor gatherings: We made s'mores around the fire pit.
The flavor combination appears in desserts far from any campfire: s'mores ice cream, s'mores cookies.
