5 Ways to Take S’Mores to the Next Level

Posted by Katie Straw on Jul 16, 2014

Step up your game this summer with these variations on the classic camping treat.

• Get fancy cookies.
  Graham crackers, they’re great and all, but it’s time to get serious about the s’more. Try using Petit Ecolier cookies or even fudge stripe cookies.
• Top it off.
  What’s better than a messy s’more? An even messier one. Drizzle some caramel or Nutella the top and dig in before it’s all over your shirt. Keep an ample supply of napkins on hand.
• Send in a sub.
  Be unexpected and use something other than plain chocolate. Switch it up with gourmet dark chocolates like those infused with fruits, speckled with salt, or laden with nuts.
• It’s better together.
  Everyone’s got a best bud and for chocolate, it’s peanut butter. Feel free to slather it on the grahams or substitute the chocolate for a peanut butter cup.
• Go bananas.
  It may sound sacrilegious, but fruit + chocolate + marshmallows + grahams = cloud 9. Try Fuji apples, banana slices, or even strawberries.
