Creative campfire combinations that take the s’more to delicious new heights.
Remember when a s’more was a graham cracker, a square of chocolate and a gooey marshmallow roasted over the fire?
The classic isn’t going anywhere, but today’s campfire favorite has become a canvas for creativity. From gourmet sweets to unexpected savory twists, modern s’mores are proving there’s no wrong way to build one.
- Choose a new base. Trade plain graham crackers for chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon graham crackers, vanilla wafers or even toasted waffles.
- Upgrade the chocolate. Skip the traditional chocolate bar in favor of peanut butter cups, caramel-filled chocolate, cookies-and-cream bars, or dark chocolate with sea salt.
- Add a surprise. Layer in sliced strawberries, bananas or raspberries, or spread on peanut butter, Nutella, cookie butter, marshmallow fluff or raspberry jam.
- Get savory. Add bacon with sharp cheddar, brie with apple slices and hot honey, goat cheese with fig jam, or smoked gouda with prosciutto for smoky and satisfying snack.
- Toast, stack and taste. Build your masterpiece while the marshmallow is still hot and gooey, then see if your new creation tops the classic.
