World's largest s'more

I guess I had s'mores on the brain after writing about them yesterday, since I was inspired to look up the record for the world's largest s'more. The Guinness Book of World Records lists a s'more made in 2003 as the largest. It was constructed in California from 20,000 marshmallows, 7,000 Hershey's chocolate bars, and 24,000 graham crackers. All totaled, it weighed about 1,600-lbs.

The Guinness category was retired, however, which means that an even larger s'more made this year went unrecorded!

The current largest s'more measured 1,936-sq feet and was constructed to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Virginia State Parks. It was made with 8,000 Hershey's chocolate bars, 40,000 marshmallows and 55,000 graham crackers - nearly double the size of the previous record holder, though it didn't use quite as much chocolate.

Two (2) graham crackers
One (1) marshmallow
One (1) square of chocolate

A giant S'more should be the same with larger (not more) ingredients.

This just looks like a tasty mess.

And they don't count unless the marshmallow is toasted and the whole thing eaten warm. This mess does NOT look tasty. What are these people thinking? They dishonor the very meaning of s'more with this crass sort of thing.

Now if they had gone the true gigantic route they also would have greated the largest ever graham cracker and marshmallow (no need for larger chocolate, as pieces have always been acceptable on a S'more).
