I learned how to make S'mores while camping with the Girl Scouts. In fact, the first published S'more recipe appears in the 1940 Girl Scout Handbook. I was always told that the name S'more was a shortened version of the words, "some more" Everyone loves S'mores. Dessert made on a stick... everyone makes their own and there's no dishes to wash! While the basic S'more recipe has remained the same all these years, there are variations, limited only by your imagination. Here are some ideas and if you have a good recipe, please post it below in comments!
The Original S'moreGraham Crackers (regular or chocolate covered)
Hershey's chocolate bar
Large marshmallows
Place half of a Hershey's Chocolate bar onto a graham cracker half. Toast a marshmallow over a campfire. After the marshmallow is toasted a nice golden brown, place it on top of the chocolate bar half. Cover with a second cracker half and gently press together.

Instead of placing your roasted marshmallow on a graham cracker, place it between two
cookies. Add half a Hershey bar if needed.

The Elvis
Slather your graham cracker with peanut butter and sliced bananas. Add the burnin, burnin' hunk of love (your toasty marshmallow) and cover with another graham cracker...
Fat Elvis: Drizzle bananas with hot fudge before you add the marshmallow :)

Sprinkled S'mores
Melt chocolate in aluminum pie plate or bread tin. Place roasted marshmallow on skewer and roll in melted chocolate. Then roll in your favorite topping (sprinkles, coconut, nuts etc)
before placing on a graham cracker or cookie.
