When you think of campfire desserts, one probably tops the list every time: S’mores! It’s hard not to love the classic combo of marshmallow, graham cracker, and chocolate. Whether you like them barely cooked, beautifully golden, or burnt and crispy, just about everyone looks forward to s’mores during the summer.
It’s hard to improve upon the classic s’more, but if you wanted some ideas for how to switch up this dessert, here are five options to add some variety and creativity to your s’mores!
1. Caramel Apple S’more – Roast your marshmallow, drizzle with caramel sauce, and smash the whole thing between two Granny Smith apple slices for a yummy sweet and sour version! You could even sprinkle some crushed peanuts into the caramel sauce.
2. Reese’s Peanut Butter S’more – This s’more upgrade is pretty easy. Just swap out your chocolate square for a Reese’s peanut butter cup!
3. Oreo Cookie S’more (S’moreo) – Another easy upgrade is swapping out your graham crackers for Oreo Cookies. You don’t even need the chocolate squares for this version. The chocolate cookie and creamy center pair perfectly with your hot gooey marshmallow. Buy different flavors of Oreo for even more variety!
4. Cookie Butter S’more – Impress all your friends by covering your graham cracker in a healthy spoonful of cookie butter or cookie dough before adding your marshmallow for a delicious and extra sweet treat! Or, try swapping out the graham crackers for chocolate chip cookies.
5. Elvis S’more – We all know Elvis loved the peanut butter and banana combo, and we’re certain he would have loved this s’more. Pile some banana slices and a hefty spoonful of peanut butter on top of your graham cracker. Add your marshmallow and chocolate for a sticky, yummy s’more that will have you dancing for seconds.
