Please Sir, can I have S'mores?
Why yes you can, there's so much to choose from all over Metro Manila. Creative bakers and dessert lovers have reinvented the classic campfire favorite first introduced by American girl scouts: the trio of marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers made irresistibly ooey-gooey with the flame's heat, melding the tiny dessert sandwiches into a messy-goopy mix of textures.

A piece of freshly toasted s'mores is crunchy, then pillowy-soft, then melt-in-your-mouth, warm chocolate meeting sticky-soft marshmallows. So good is this treat with its an awesome mix of textures that this particular flavor combination is presented in different kinds of desserts found in many cafes and restaurants. After all, this marshmallow dessert got its name from mashing up "some more," so some more of these s'mores will always be welcome!
Here's our rundown of 12 places in Manila serving ooey-gooey S'mores desserts. Which one's your favorite?
