S’mores are easily the best part of camping. Gooey marshmallows cushioned between slightly melted chocolate, oozing out of graham crackers – what’s not to love? Get creative with these five twists on the tried-and-true.
Create Your Own S’mores Bar
Ready to take things to the next level? Host a “S’mores Bar” at your next campfire by adding some of these ingredients to your repertoire.
The Outside: Graham crackers aren’t the only way to sandwich your s’more. Try cookies like snickerdoodles, chocolate chip or Oreos. Pack thin-sliced brownies or magic bars for yummy open-faced s’mores.
The Sauces: Amp up the flavor by spreading hot fudge, butterscotch, nutella, pumpkin butter, salted caramel, raspberry jam or even lemon curd on the graham crackers.
Fancy Up Your Chocolate: Hershey’s isn’t the only choice here. Try caramel or raspberry Ghirardelli squares, Peppermint Patties, Rolos, Reese’s or your dark chocolate bar of choice.
Add Some Fruit: Strawberries and bananas are the obvious choices here. For an unexpected boost of smokiness, add grilled peaches or pineapple.
Flavor Your ‘Mallows: With a bit of advanced planning, you can make delicious homemade marshmallows to put in your s’mores. We like these Peppermint Marshmallows, these Vanilla Marshmallows and this recipe for Chai or Coffee Marshmallows.
It might sound a bit crazy…These ideas are for the more adventurous. For a sweet and spicy combo, try sprinkling chili or chipotle powder on the chocolate before adding to your s’more. Add pretzels, candied bacon, chopped peanuts or cashews for a salty twist.
