S’mores, made with delicious Hershey’s Milk Chocolate and a perfectly toasted marshmallow, sandwiched between two graham crackers. For decades, S’mores have been a centerpiece of summertime memories; this year, The Hershey Company (NYSE: HSY) wants to continue the tradition of making ‘S’more’ memories. On their website there are several S’mores recipes and innovative cooking methods to make your summer “S’mores-filled” in exciting ways.

Summertime is synonymous with S’mores, and a S’more is not complete without the distinctive taste of genuine Hershey’s Milk Chocolate. In 1927, the first recipe for this summer staple appeared in a Girl Scout handbook and, now, almost 90 years later, S’mores have a special place in many people’s hearts.

“The thought of Hershey’s S’mores elicits a flood of happy, treasured memories with loved ones,” said Nathan Johnson, senior associate brand manager for the Hershey franchise. “The fun, light-hearted experience of making S’mores invites us to turn any moment into a meaningful, shared moment of connection with friends and family.”

During the summer, people across the country cook up S’mores, in their backyards and kitchens, on the beach and by the pool. Hershey is here to help. With hundreds of millions of Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars produced each year, there are enough chocolate bars to make an almost limitless number of S’mores!

It is the right time to start putting those millions of chocolate bars to good use by pairing them with toasty marshmallows and graham crackers to make the perfect S’mores. And it’s an even better time to begin to create and share those precious summertime memories.

Beyond the Campfire

One of the best things about S’mores is that you don’t have to be around a campfire to enjoy them. Hershey has many recipes to make S’mores from the comfort of your kitchen or backyard, whether you’re looking for a classic S’more or something just a little different but still combining those three iconic ingredients for the perfect S’mores taste. This summer, go beyond the campfire and experiment with creative ways to cook up S’mores.

No grilling get-together is complete without dessert, so add some sweetness to your backyard barbeque by wrapping your S’mores in foil and grilling them. Grilling is a stress-free way to share S’mores, especially for kids. Simply build your S’more, then hand it off to be cooked on the grill – no S’mores sticks or fires required! Don’t forget to keep a couple S’mores warm on the grill for later, because someone is sure to want more.

Looking for an easy S’mores treat to share at a picnic? In under ten minutes, you can whip up a quick pan of S’mores Dip, a layered Hershey’s chocolate and marshmallow treat best served with graham crackers for dipping.

For a cool, refreshing way to enjoy your favorite toasted treat, try a S’mores Sundae or S’mores Ice Cream Pie.
