(ARA) – Americans can bring “s’more” fun to game day festivities by adding the classic combination of pure milk chocolate, crispy graham crackers and gooey marshmallows to any tailgating party – whether they’re celebrating professional, collegiate or high school football.
Tailgating for sporting events has been a long-standing pastime, dating back to the first collegiate football game ever played between Rutgers and Princeton in 1869. At the time, fans traveled in a horse-drawn carriage, grilling sausages at the “tail-end” of the horse. Today, 95 percent of tailgaters prepare their food at the stadium, and nearly 40 percent do so exclusively on a grill.
Whether grilling hamburgers, hot dogs or ribs, every good party needs a sweet treat. For more than 80 years, Americans have gathered together to enjoy S’mores, made with the perfect combination of Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bars, graham crackers and marshmallows.
Grilling S’mores is as easy as 1, 2, 3 – just build, wrap and grill. Start with medium-hot grill. Next, place half a Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bar and one large marshmallow between two graham cracker squares. Wrap each in aluminum foil and place on top of the grill for up to 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until marshmallow is melted. The result is a warm and gooey treat – perfect for any outdoor event. Remember to supervise children at all times when around the grill.
As the official dessert of tailgating, S’mores are a quick and delicious dessert to complete any game-day tailgate. Making them with friends and family at a favorite game-day spot or in the backyard is a fun way to create lasting memories.
