Candied Bacon S'mores

Who doesn't love bacon?

Picture this: crispy, sweet candied bacon layered with roasted marshmallows and rich chocolate, then tucked between two graham crackers. The combination of sweet and savory will have your taste buds singing!

To prepare this treat, bake strips of bacon in the oven with brown sugar at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until caramelized, or (you can cheat a bit and buy pre-made candy bacon... we can neither confirm nor deny we've tested this method). Let the bacon cool, then stack it with your toasted marshmallows and chocolate for a unique and mouthwatering take on the classic S'mores.

Chocolate Chip Cookie S'mores

Chocolate chip cookies are a beloved classic.

Why not take it a step further by replacing those traditional graham crackers with warm chocolate chip cookies? This twist will melt your heart—and your marshmallows!

Take two freshly baked or store-bought chocolate chip cookies and roast a marshmallow until it’s gooey. Place the marshmallow and a piece of chocolate between the cookies. The result is a satisfying, indulgent cookie sandwich that will bring back fond memories of childhood S'mores.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup S'mores

If you love chocolate and peanut butter, get ready for a treat!

In this version of S'mores, creamy, nutty goodness takes center stage. Swap out standard chocolate for a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, and you'll experience a delightful flavor explosion.

Stack a peanut butter cup on a perfectly toasted marshmallow, then sandwich it all between two graham crackers. The delicious blend of melted chocolate and velvety peanut butter is a mouthwatering twist on a classic dessert.

The Grasshopper: Andes Mints S'mores

Mint enthusiasts, rejoice!

You can revitalize your S'mores by adding Andes Mints to the mix. These delicious, minty chocolates bring a cool freshness that elevates your treat.

Simply substitute the traditional chocolate with an Andes Mint, layer it with a beautifully roasted marshmallow, and finish with graham crackers. The result is a refreshing dessert that's perfect for summer nights or festive gatherings.

Kit Kat S'mores

Need some extra crunch?

Kit Kat bars are renowned for their satisfying crunch. They make an exciting substitute for traditional chocolate in S'mores.

To create this fun dessert, break a few pieces of Kit Kat and place them on your toasted marshmallow, then join them with graham crackers. The combination of the crispy wafers and melty marshmallow provides a wonderful texture that you won't forget!

Peppermint Patty S’more

Add a minty kick to your S'mores by replacing chocolate with a peppermint patty.

For those who enjoy a fresh and classic flavor, this option is perfect! The peppermint patty melts easily when heated by the marshmallow, creating an enticing mint-chocolate experience.

Just add a peppermint patty in place of your usual chocolate, enjoy a perfectly toasted marshmallow, and sandwich everything with graham crackers. This S'more is especially enjoyable on chilly nights by the fire, offering a delightful twist to the traditional recipe.

The Elvis: Peanut Butter, Bananas, and Bacon

Taking it to the next level with Elvis!

This S'more is a tribute to Elvis Presley and his love for peanut butter, bananas, and bacon. Combining sweet and salty flavors results in a treat you won’t want to miss!

To craft The Elvis S'more, spread a layer of peanut butter on a graham cracker, add banana slices, and top with crispy bacon. Toast a marshmallow to perfection and stack it all together. This flavor combination is so delicious, you’ll feel tempted to break out into song!
