S’mores are a camping and patio backyard outdoor cooking staple. Combining graham crackers, milk chocolate bars, and creamy gooey toasted marshmallows … what’s not too like? But what if you could make s’mores even better? Dare we say, even more decadent? Would you? Components of the s’more are fairly interchangeable. You can swap out nearly any kind or flavor of cookie for the graham cracker. Any variety of chocolate is a viable option, but with a little imagination it’s not hard to picture your favorite chocolate candy like a Rollo or a peanut butter cup as a s’more filling.
There are even versions that call for Starburst candies added to the palate. Marshmallows are pretty standard, but there are flavored marshmallows and marshmallows with candy bits built into them. All are fairs’more game!
Then you can always supplement with additional ingredients. In the following s'more recipes, you’ll see ideas like apple slices, caramel sauce, and more. Let your campfire cooking imagination run wild and go for it! Try these insanely delicious s’more recipes from the vault of 50 Campfires. Let the kid in you go wild or kids around you have fun, they are oh so easy to make too!
