The History and Origins of S’mores Brownies
The origins of s’mores can be traced back to the early 20th century, with the first recorded recipe appearing in a Girl Scouts handbook in 1927. The name “s’mores” is a contraction of the phrase “some more,” as in “I want some more of that delicious treat.” Over the years, s’mores have become a beloved campfire tradition, with variations popping up in desserts like brownies, cookies, and even ice cream.
