S’mores S’lessons
S’mores
We’re the S’more capital of the world.
Bet you’re wondering how we got that title, huh? Simple, we called it. But it’s more than just a claim. These delicious campfire treats and the fun times that surround them are a crucial link in the Whitefish Chain’s long legacy as the backdrop for classic Minnesota vacation memories.
The S’more S’tory
This classic campfire treat — made by sandwiching chocolate and a toasted marshmallow between two graham crackers — was developed by campers in the early part of the 20th century. The first recipe for s’mores was published in 1927 in the Girl Scout Handbook and the event marked the official introduction of the s’more into popular culture.
