Читать книгу So Much S'more to Do - Becky Rasmussen - Страница 7

Marshmallow candy originated in ancient Egypt some 4,000 years ago, but s’mores are relatively new to the world. The good news is that someone invented s’mores in the early 1900s (not long after marshmallows became mass-produced and nationally distributed). The bad news is that no one knows exactly who, when or where s’mores were created, so we cannot thank a specific person for this delectable dessert.

We can guess that the original recipe was devised around a campfire, putting to use ingredients—marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate—that were easy to pack and carry. Through the years that followed, the recipe was passed from person to person until it found its way into the Girl Scout Handbook in 1927.

The rest, as they say, is history.
