National S'mores Day: August 10th - but why wait until then to celebrate????
History of S'mores: There are no documented records of the history of the warm, gooey, chocolat'y campfire treat, it is believed they were invented at a Girl Scout camp and the directions to create S'mores were published in the 1927 "Girl Scout Handbook.
Most of us can't gather around a campfire roasting graham crackers with marshmallows and chocolate smacked between them. Most of us can not indulge in the caloric and sugary impact of an authentic S'mores on our diets and on our bodies.
We strive to maintain a balance of carbs, proteins, and other nutritional values in our bodies to keep them performing as they should. Well, the good folks at Balance Bar have created an absolutely delicious bar that they call their "gold" bar and this one is a "s'mores." Don't you just love the thought of biting into it's crunchy, milk chocolate goodness that packs a powerful punch nutritionally for you? Well, your hankering for a s'mores can now be taken care of with this tasty snack treat.

The Yogurt Orange Swirl nimble Bar looks good. I like that it's with yogurt so it sounds like it would be a light bar.

I would like to try the cafe variety, primarily so I could eat it with my coffee.
ReplyDeleteI have tried the S'mores before. It is very good for a protein enriched bar. It almost tastes like a candy bar.
