campers who take a graham cracker and load it up with peanut butter, some
marshmallow glop, and a Hershey bar and then heat the pile of yuk until the
chocolate melts.
But I've never heard of a peanut butter smore. The smores I've eaten
in Mississippi, Alabama, and upstate New York were graham cracker, warm
marshmallow, and hershey bar partially melted because of contact with
the marshmallow. You roast the marshmallow and then put it on top of
the hershey bar, which is on top of a graham cracker. An excellent
dessert!
The name means you always want s'more of them. One time when I was
a college student teaching water skiing on Lake George, NY, my date and
I suddenly realized that as "adults" we could try eating as many smores
as we wanted. We went to a little grocery store in Hague, bought a huge
supply of marshmallows, hershey bars, and graham crackers, canoed to an
island in the middle of Lake George, and ended up getting royally sick
from eating too many smores. But I was ready for s'more within a few
