Are s'mores an international food group or just a North American one? Showing my world ignorance on nutrition, I bring to you a Progressive International Microwaveable S'mores Maker. S'mores are graham cracker, marshmallow and milk chocolate melted delights. The S'mores Maker takes way the ugliness of a broken graham cracker or a food group too tall to fit in your mouth. The invention has arms that hold the [marshmallows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-roast-mallows) down to prevent over fluffiness. The resemblance to Mr. Potato Head is not accidental I think.
