It’s Iowa Day! Have a S’more

S'mores

Today, February 8, is National Iowa Day in the United States. Since 2011 the state snack of Iowa has been s’mores, a sticky sweet treat made of a toasted marshmallow and a wedge of chocolate sandwiched between two graham crackers. The s’more is a quick and easy dessert you can make around the campfire, but with some intent, it can serve a magical purpose as well.

Dark chocolate is associated with romance and intimacy. Milk chocolate is associated with nurturing and friendship. Marshmallows are associated with lightness, fun, sweetness, playfulness, and joy. Graham flour is a form of whole grain wheat flour; wheat is sacred to Ishtar, Osiris, Demeter and Ceres.

Here are some s’more variations to try:
