You’ve gathered around the campfire, and the stars twinkle above. The crackling and the smell of burning wood fills the air. It’s the perfect setting for everyone’s favorite campfire treat, S’mores. Oh yes, the classic summer campfire treat one delicious graham cracker broke in half, a Hershey’s chocolate bar, and one ooey-gooey toasted marshmallow. Stack it up and take a big ole bite!

The recipe has stayed pretty much the same for almost 100 years since the Girl Scouts were the first to publish it in their 1927 handbook, “Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts.” While the saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” applies in many areas, after 100 years, it’s okay to have some fun with a new take!

Here’s the ultimate guide to S’mores, from classic to creative, to make your next campfire night unforgettable.

Classic Variations

REESE’S Cup S’mores

Ok, peanut butter lovers! You’ve long felt left out of the S’mores game, but here’s your chance. Swap out the traditional chocolate bar for a REESE’S peanut butter cup for an irresistible blend of chocolate and peanut butter. It’s about time that peanut butter got some S’mores love. Not only will it become a new staple, it’ll be the talk of the campground!

Switch-It-Up S’mores

There is not much to do here, but experiment and see what you like best! Stick with the classic approach, but try different types of chocolate, like dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even a cookies and cream bar, for a unique twist on the timeless favorite. Expand your S’mores horizons and discover a whole new world of flavor possibilities!

Savory S’mores

In this fun take, getting a little salty is a good thing! The first option is to swap the graham cracker for a Ritz Cracker. You’ll be amazed how much this slight adjustment changes the S’more experience! Feeling more adventurous? Try making S’mores lolly pops! Take pretzel sticks and push marshmallows onto the end. Roll the marshmallow in melty chocolate and enjoy!

Fruity S’mores

Are you looking to lighten things up? Add fresh strawberry, peach, or banana slices in between your marshmallow and chocolate for a burst of fruity freshness that pairs beautifully with the classic S’more! Plus, adding fruit makes it a healthy snack, right?

Charcuterie S’mores

In this Pinterest-loving world, any excuse for a charcuterie board is excellent! So why not a S’mores charcuterie board? Mix and match ingredients to create unique combinations. Start with your dips: peanut butter, honey, melted chocolate, and marshmallow creme. Surround your dips with pretzels, strawberry and banana slices, blueberries, graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate squares. If you really want to get crazy, throw some bacon in there! The possibilities are endless. So gather your favorite snacks and let your creativity run wild with your homemade S’mores charcuterie board.

Creative Preparations

S’mores Cookie Skillet

This is the classic S’mores meets cookie story. It’s a true classic combo that was just waiting for us to try it! Grab your cast iron skillet and either make or buy your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough. Fold in a handful of mini marshmallows. Spread the dough across the skillet and bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until the cookie starts to turn golden. Remove and top with graham cracker pieces, chocolate squares, and more marshmallows. Bake for another 5-7 minutes. Cut, serve, and enjoy!

Dippin’ S’mores

This is a party favorite! Get your favorite oven-friendly dip dish and preheat your oven to 350°. Mix three broken-apart Hershey’s bars and 3 tbsp of heavy cream into the dish. Microwave on medium for about 30 seconds, stirring until liquidy. Cover the top of the chocolate with mini marshmallows and bake until the marshmallows puff up and start to turn golden brown. Use graham cracker sticks to dip and eat! You’ll thank me later because your guests will love it!

S’mores in a Bag

Kids will go crazy over this one! Get your favorite snack-sized bag of Oreo’s, Teddy Grahams, or Nutter Butters. Cut off one side of the bag and toss in some Hershey’s squares. Toast your marshmallow to your desired darkness. Then, carefully drop it into your bag. Grab a fork, mix it up, and enjoy!

S’mores Grilled Cheese

Here’s another kid favorite! Butter one slice of bread and place it buttered side down in a cold skillet. Add chocolate pieces, graham crackers, and marshmallow halves. Top with another bread slice and butter the top. Heat over medium-low until golden, flip, and cook until the other side is golden. Cool slightly, cut, and serve. Enjoy!

S’mores Tacos

That’s right, Tacos! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Cut 34 3-inch tortilla rounds and brush with melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Fold between upside-down muffin tins to form shells and bake for 11-13 minutes. Fill with marshmallows, toast with a blowtorch, add chocolate, melt, and serve with graham cracker crumbs and extra melted chocolate for dipping. Delicious and fun! Enjoy!
