To The Leader

 

HOUSTON – After more than 100 years, it’s no secret that the Girl Scouts have perfected the art of making s’mores. From summer nights under starry skies to roasting marshmallows in the microwave, the s’mores recipe has come a long way since its first-known published recipe was included in the 1927 Girl Scout Handbook, Tramping and Trailing. 
As a toast to this tasty treat, Girl Scouts everywhere will celebrate National S’mores Day on August 10. Although the original graham cracker-chocolate-marshmallow layered method will forever be a classic, we’re sharing an unconventional s’mores to mirror the imaginative girls of today using America’s favorite cookie – Girl Scout Cookies.
Here’s an alternative twist on the traditional s’mores that you can enjoy inside or out using our Thanks-A-Lots.
