15 Creative S'mores Recipes

No backyard bbq is complete without s’mores. And with these 15 Creative S’mores Recipes, your next get together will be legendary!

Guess what?!

I’m 30 today.

It’s my birfffday.

I know, I know.  It’s tough to imagine this sweet baby face is 30 years old.  Although I rarely get carded anymore and my elementary students often tell me they think I’m in my 40’s (I swear, they have no concept of age), my wife guarantees me that I don’t look a day over 29.

It’s been a weekend long celebration around here.  A special dinner at Torrisi Italian Specialties with Asheley on Saturday.  Family party on Sunday.  And today… a get together with friends at my fave local Thai restaurant.

But no celebration would be complete without including you guys.  You’re my people.  We understand each other.  And I’ve been saving this post for awhile now, just to share for this very occasion.

We all know s’mores are awesome.  But, these smores.  Well, let’s just say Asheley and I had quite the fantastic time taste-testing these 15 creative s’mores recipes.

 

1. Candied Bacon S’mores.

Candied Bacon S'mores

Graham cracker + dark chocolate + marshmallow + candied bacon = my new favorite s’more!

Seriously.  These Candied Bacon S’mores are salty sweet perfection.

It was my mom’s favorite, too.  I let her in on the taste-testing also.  That’s just the kind of sweet, thoughful son I am 😉

And don’t let the thought of making candied bacon overwhelm you.  It’s ridiculously easy.

Coat some strips of bacon with brown sugar, place on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet, and bake in a 375 – 400°F oven for about 15-25 minutes, until the bacon is crispy.  Transfer to some paper towels to cool, and boom… candied bacon.

 

2. Cookie Butter (Speculoos) S’mores.

Cookie Butter Speculoos S'mores

I’ve eaten more speculoos/cookie butter this past year than I probably should admit.  For instance…

And that’s not counting all the times I just grabbed a quick spoonful 😉

I don’t know why I never thought of replacing the chocolate with cookie butter before, but now it’s all about making up for lost time.  Cookie Butter S’mores are freaking fantastic.

 

3. Roasted Berries S’mores.

Roasted Berries S'mores

I can’t take credit for this genius idea.  I saw it on Jelly Toast Blog and had to try it.  Well, she’s right.  It’s amazing.

First, have you ever roasted fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in the oven?  It’s super easy and the payoff is HUGE.  Like, I wanted to bathe in the stuff.  It’s that good.

And if you can find these waffle cookies in the grocery store, you get bonus points.  If not, just use good ole’ trusty graham crackers.

My mom was a big fan of these Roasted Berries S’mores.  And my mom knows s’mores.

 

4. Salted Caramel S’mores.

Salted Caramel S'mores

Need I say more?  Salted Caramel S’mores.

It’s as easy as grabbing your fave caramel sauce (or DIY’ing it if you’re that kind of awesomeness) and sprinkling on some seriously flaky sea salt.

 

5. Samoa Cookie S’mores.

Samoa S'mores

I have to admit, I’m not a coconut fan.  But I know people go all ga-ga over those Girl Scout Samoa Cookies.  So why not smother some caramel and toasted coconut right up in that toasted marshmallow? Exactly.

 

6. Chocolate Chip Cookie Nutella S’mores.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Nutella S'mores

Chocolate chip cookies make a great standby for graham crackers.  And can we just say nutella for the win?  For realz… who needs little squares of chocolate when you can slather on the nutella.

I just may have to make these Chocolate Chip Cookie Nutella S’mores a regular at my backyard grill-outs.

 

7. Mexican Chocolate S’mores.

Mexican Chocolate S'mores

Cinnamon + Chili Powder adds just that little punch of flavor that your taste buds want.  Really, I swear.  Just ask them.  They’ll tell ya how it is.

 

8. The Elvis S’mores.

The Elvis S'mores

Elvis apparently loved banana, peanut butter, and bacon sandwiches.  So my guess is that he would of loved these s’mores, too.

 

9. Chocolate Covered Potato Chip S’mores.

Chocolate Covered Potato Chip S'mores

Have you ever had a chocolate covered potato chip?  You should.  Go ahead, pause this and treat yourself immediately.  I’ll wait.

:: waiting ::

Okay, now that your mind is blown, blow it again by making these Chocolate Covered Potato Chip S’mores.

 

10. Chocolate Covered Pretzel S’mores.

Chocolate Covered Pretzel S'mores

C’mon, you had to have seen this coming.  Chocolate Covered Pretzel S’mores are equally amazing.

Light bulb.  What if you did potato chips AND pretzels all on one?!  Uhm, #forthewin.

 

11. Rice Krispies Treat S’mores.

Rice Krispie Treat S'mores

Asheley LOVES rices krispie treats.  She may or may not of (she did) eat the entire pan of rice krispie treats within 24 hours.

And Asheley was the official taste tester of this Rice Krispies Treat S’mores.  Her expert reccomendation?  Do an open-faced s’more on this one.

And my recommendation… make the rice krispie treats as thin as possible.  It makes the s’mores eating process a whole lot easier 🙂

 

12. Oreo Cookie S’mores.

Oreo Cookie S'mores

My dad was all about these Oreo Cookie S’mores.  And the marshmallow is the perfect size for an oreo.  It’s like it was meant to be.

 

13. Reese Peanut Butter Cup S’mores.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup S'mores

Now I went ahead and cut that PB Cup in half lengthwise , but feel free to just slap one on there whole.  Looks like the classic fluffernutter just got a facelift… Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup S’mores.  #boom

 

14. Snickers S’mores.

Snickers S'mores

So pretty much any candy will work in place of chocolate.  Like snickers.  Hungry?  Why wait.

 

15. Milky Way S’mores.

Milky Way S'mores

And the trusty Milky Way of course works well, too.  Quick tip: freeze the candy bar for a bit before trying to slice lengthwise.  It’ll make it easier to get a clean cut.

 

16. Kit Kat S’mores.

Kit Kat S'mores

And probably my favorite candy bar… the Kit Kat.  It adds an extra layer of crispy crunchy goodness and totally ups the overall s’mores enjoyment factor.

Other candy ideas:

  • Almond Joy
  • Peppermint Patty
  • Twix
  • Nestle’s Crunch
  • Rolos

    ★★★★★

  23. This post is amazing…and as I was scrolling through, I started thinking that you either very permanent photo set-up or you ate a crapload of s’mores in one sitting. I’m impressed by your s’mores commitment – I bet you’d win a s’mores eating contest. And it’s totally okay if you stuffed your face in s’mores all afternoon because it’s your birthday! Happy birthday (a bit belated – I’m slow)!

    • It was a crapload of s’mores in one sitting hahaha. It took like 3 hours to make and photograph all of them. Phew, a full day commitment to s’mores!

  24. Happy, happy birthday, Chris! It sounds like you are having an awesome celebration. Some of these smore recipe should be part of the festivities too. Bacon? Oreos? Caramel? Count me in!

  25. Sorry I’m a little late to wish you Happy Birthday!!!! I was without internet for a whole week so I’ve been slowly looking through everything I missed. This has got to be my favorite of your posts to date! I can’t even begin to explain my love with s’mores. Lets just say while I was on vacation my kids were in a costume party and I handmade all their costumes. They went as a marshmallow, graham cracker, and their Aunt was a chocolate bar. I’m a little obsessed. I will probably be trying every single one of your variations! Love love love this post 🙂
