My family used to have Thanksgiving dinner with just me, my parents, and my two younger brothers. We'd eat roasted chicken (since 5 is too few for a turkey) and then toast marshmallows in the fireplace for dessert. I always crave s'mores around Thanksgiving as a result, and I've been trolling the web for recipes/articles about this delicious snack. Here are a few of the best:

1. Inside-out s'mores from Foodaphilia

2. S'mores bread pudding from Culinary Concoctions by Peabody

4. Pumpkin spice marshmallows from Serious Eats (for putting into s'mores!)

5. S'mores maker form Kitchen Contraptions. I think I need this.

6. A cookbook all about S'mores, reviewed by Baking Bites.

7. S'mores cookies from Cookie Madness

8. S'mores cupcakes from Cupcake Bakeshop

If you're not familiar with s'mores, they are made by sandwiching a toasted marshmallow and a piece of chocolate in between two graham crackers. The name of the treat comes from the two words "some more," clearly combined because people often wanted to have at least a second serving after having one s'more. The treat was developed by campers in the early part of the 20th century, making use of the fairly new mass-produced marshmallows. Marshmallows were easy to transport, as were candy bars and graham crackers, and the marshmallows could be warmed easily over a fire to make a delicious treat in a situation where other types of sweets would have been difficult to come by.
