Smores are something everyone who's ever gone camping should have. If your kids haven't had them yet, then you need to make sure to bring the stuff to make them for your next camping trip, because they are missing out on an American classic.

Smores, or S'mores (from "Some more") are a camping treat that has been around for about 100 years. No one is really sure who invented them, because the recipe has basically been passed around by word of mouth since then. To make smores, you need to bring the following with you:
Hershey chocolate bars
Marshmallows
Graham crackers
Something to start a fire with
A wire (coathangers work well for this)
After that, it's pretty simple. Get a fire going. If you brought a wire coathanger, then twist it apart so that it's basically one big long wire. Stick a marshmallow or two on it, and hold them over the fire until they're a little brown (not too long, or they'll get black). Then break a graham cracker in half, and break off part of a chocolate bar and stack it on top of one of the pieces. Put the marshmallows on top. Then put the other piece of graham cracker on top of that, so it looks like a sandwich - graham crackers for the bread, marshmallow and chocolate in the middle. Then eat.
