5 Innovative S’mores Recipes for Your Next Camping Trip

Who says you can’t put a twist on this classic treat? If you’re looking to elevate your s’mores game, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve gathered some innovative and mouth-watering recipes that go beyond the traditional graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow combo. So, let’s dive in, shall we?

 

Peanut Butter Dream S’mores

Not many can deny the decadent combo of peanut butter and chocolate. For this recipe, swap out the plain chocolate for a peanut butter cup. The melty peanut butter adds a whole new level of yum to your s’more.

 

Ingredients:

• Graham crackers
• Marshmallows
• Peanut Butter Cups

Instructions

1. Set the stage: First things first, let’s get that campfire going. You want those flames dancing but not too wild. Remember, we’re aiming for a nice, steady heat to get our marshmallows perfectly toasted.
2. Prep your ingredients: While your fire is settling, let’s get everything ready. Break your graham crackers in half to create your s’more “sandwich”. Unwrap your peanut butter cups so they’re ready to go.
3. Roast those marshmallows: Now comes the fun part! Skewer your marshmallow on a stick and hold it over the fire. Remember, we’re looking for a beautiful golden brown, not charred black. Take your time, rotate that marshmallow, and enjoy the process.
4. Assemble your s’more: Once your marshmallow is perfectly toasted, sandwich it and your peanut butter cup between the two halves of your graham cracker. The heat from the marshmallow will melt the peanut butter cup, creating a gooey, melty, oh-so-delicious treat.

 

Salted Caramel S’mores

Salted Caramel S’mores offer a delectable twist on the traditional campfire treat. By adding salted caramel, we elevate the classic s’more to a balance of sweet, salty, and toasty that is unexpected and absolutely irresistible. This recipe is perfect for those who enjoy a little adventure in taste, and it will undoubtedly make your next bonfire or indoor treat unforgettable.

 

Ingredients:

• 8 Graham Crackers
• 4 Marshmallows
• 4 Salted Caramel Chocolate Bars (You can replace this with regular chocolate bars and a drizzle of caramel sauce sprinkled with sea salt)
• Optional: Extra Sea Salt, for sprinkling

Instructions:

1. If using a campfire or barbecue, start by getting your fire going. If you’re making these indoors, preheat your oven to broil.
2. Break your graham crackers in half to make 8 squares. Place 4 squares on a baking sheet if you’re indoors, or near your fire if you’re outdoors.
3. Place a salted caramel chocolate bar on top of each graham cracker square.
4. If you’re indoors, place your baking sheet in the oven and broil just until the chocolate begins to melt. If you’re outdoors, carefully hold the graham crackers with the chocolate near the heat until it starts to melt.
5. While your chocolate is melting, roast your marshmallows over the fire until they’re your desired level of toasty.
6. Once your chocolate is beginning to melt and your marshmallows are done, place a toasted marshmallow on top of each chocolate-topped graham cracker.
7. Top each one with another graham cracker square, pressing down lightly to make a sandwich.
8. If you like, you can sprinkle a little extra sea salt on top of each s’more for an extra salty kick.
