The term "s'mores" was applied to  graham crackers, topped with milk
chocolate and marshmallows & stuck under the broiler long enough to toast
(or at least melt) the marshmallow at least a decade before 1953.  It
didn't have to be covered with another cracker, and I never heard of the
thin mint variation.  I remember this from the year I was a girl scout,
1941-2.  Can't cite a text for this, but the term was certainly in use.
