S'MORES Time

I pack marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate.

These three ingredients make s'mores. Marshmallows are roasted over an open campfire until they turn golden brown. Then the cooked marshmallows are squished onto a graham cracker, a piece of chocolate is added and then the top cracker. The deliciousness is squished together to create a S'more. 

S'mores have been a campfire treat for over 100 years. The recipe first appeared in cookbooks and the Brownie handbook in the mid 1920's. Wow thats a lot of generations that have known how to make s'mores.

Brownie's you may ask. Yes, Brownies, first known as Rosebuds until Lady Baden-Powell renamed them in 1914. (summarized from Wikepedia). The Brownie group was made up of girls between the ages 7-10. In the group the girls learned many skills like camping, cooking and sewing to name a few. Often their accomplishments were awarded by badges to wear on their uniforms. Today the group still exists under the new name Embers. 

Making s'mores and sitting by the campfire is a treat for us at the cottage. 

In The Case at High Lake, what chapter do the detectives make s'mores in?
