　　S'mores, these sweet childhood snacks, have been roasted in campfires and microwaves for decades. Children who have bitten into a creamy1, chocolaty s'more know of the great satisfaction2 these little treats can bring. They are so tasty that eating one is never enough. Even the name s'more is a contraction3 of the words, some more. With a name like that, how could anyone stop with just one?

　　巧克力棉花糖夾心餅 ── 這些甜滋滋的童年點心 ── 在營火和微波爐旁烘烤已經有數十年的歷史。小孩子嚐過一口充滿奶油、巧克力滋味的棉花糖夾心餅後便知道這些小點心可以帶來大大的滿足。它們很美味，因此只吃一口絕對是不夠的。甚至它的英文名 s'more 是 some more（再來一些）這兩個字的縮寫。有著這樣的名稱，怎麼會有人只吃一塊就停下來了呢？

　　S'mores first became popular sometime around 1927 after the Girl Scouts4 published a recipe for them. Since then, s'mores have become a common snack on camping trips and even found their way into lunch boxes. In 2003, Hershey's started making S'mores candy bars, but they never took off.

　　巧克力棉花糖夾心餅最初由女童軍出版它的食譜之後，1927 年便流行起來。從那時起，巧克力棉花糖夾心餅就成為露營常見的點心，甚至在餐盒中也會發現它們。2003 年，Hershey's 巧克力公司開始製作巧克力棉花糖夾心棒，但是它們並沒有流行起來。

　　The recipe is as simple as marshmallows5, chocolate, and graham crackers6, but plenty of kinds are available. S'mores are simply made by melting a marshmallow over a flame, and sandwiching it between two pieces of graham crackers and a piece of chocolate. They are easy, simple, and delicious, so make sure to try s'mores the next time you find yourself in front of a campfire.

　　食譜為簡單的三樣食材：棉花糖、巧克力和全麥餅乾，但是卻有許多種類可供選擇。製作巧克力棉花糖夾心餅很簡單，只要用火烘烤棉花糖，讓它融化，然後拿兩片全麥餅乾和一片巧克力將它夾在中間。它們製作簡單、容易，而且很美味，所以下次在露營烤肉時，別忘了嚐嚐巧克力棉花糖夾心餅的滋味。
