Every year on August 10th, dessert lovers across the country celebrate National S'mores Day. There is something undeniably magical about gathering around a crackling fire, roasting a marshmallow to golden perfection (or charring it to a crisp, depending on your preference), and squishing it between crispy graham crackers and rich chocolate.
The classic combination of graham cracker, toasted marshmallow, and milk chocolate has been an American campfire staple since the Girl Scouts first published the recipe in 1927 under the name "Some More." Nearly a century later, this cozy treat is getting major upgrades.
Whether you're celebrating around a rustic campfire at Alpine/Bridger-Teton NF KOA, a backyard fire pit, or even under your oven broiler, here are 25 unique and delicious s'more recipes to try today.

Tips for the Perfect S'more
-Patience over speed: Low and slow turns the interior of the marshmallow into liquid velvet without burning the outside.
-Warm the chocolate: Place your chocolate square on a warm rock near the fire or pre-warm the graham cracker so the chocolate melts faster when assembled.
-Get creative: Don't hesitate to mix and match base layers, toppings, and chocolate types to craft your personal signature s'more!
