Five Summer S'more Ideas
Can I have S'more?
When it comes to delicious desserts, s’mores are a summer staple. Call it nostalgia for the campfire, but no one can resist the crunchy, gooey goodness of graham crackers and molten chocolate. Here are Five Fun Summer S’more Ideas:
1. Set up a S’more Bar
Have a group of family or friends over for an evening of eating s’mores and sharing stories. Create a self-serve s’more bar by laying out all of the extra goodies anyone could possibly want. To coax your guests out of a traditional s’more rut, print up some delicious twists on the traditional s’more and place them at your table in picture frames. Here are some of our favorite variations (recipes below):
- Peanut Butter & Jelly S’mores
- White Chocolate S’mores
- Nutella & Banana S’mores
- Double Chocolate S’mores a la mode
- Cinnamon Apple S’mores
Coat the rim of your S'moretini with marshmallow fluff and graham cracker crumbs... mmm!
2. Serve Up a S’more-tini
The summery goodness of a s’more needn’t be restricted to food -- share the wealth and serve guests a yummy campfire cocktail. The S’moretini is a perfect dessert drink to serve guests just before Fourth of July fireworks, or after a delicious backyard barbeque.
Expert Tip: You can make a kid-friendly version of this recipe (below) by substituting lowfat milk for the vodka.
3. S’mores go to France: The S’more Crepe
Your guests will be saying “Ooh-la-la!” when you serve up this twist on the traditional American s’more. To create the S’more Crepe, simply fill a regular hot crepe with chunks of graham cracker and nutella (or other chocolate spread) and top it off with a heaping spoonful of warm marshmallow fluff. Drizzle the mouth-watering concoction with a bit of warm fudge and voila: you have yourself a S’more crepe.
S'more Sundaes are delish in cones!
4. S’more Ice Cream Sundaes
Why trek to the ice cream store when you can make an awesome S’more Sundae at home? This is a great treat to make with the whole family or for a kid’s party since it’s quick and easy to make.
The only prep you need to do beforehand is to freeze a slab or stone cutting board overnight. You can also pre-crush the graham crackers if you prefer not to deal with the possible mess while creating the sundaes.
5. S’more Cake, Please!
The great thing about a S’more Cake is that it’s easy to serve and doesn’t have the same mess-making potential as regular s’mores. Your guests also don’t have to worry about burning marshmallows -- or their tongues! Serve it à la mode with Vanilla and Fudge ice cream to really wow partygoers.
Peanut Butter & Jelly S’more
Ingredients:
- 2 Graham Crackers
- Strawberry or Grape Preserves/Jelly
- Peanut Butter
- Marshmallow Fluff
Preparation:
- Spread one graham cracker with the preserves and the other with the peanut butter.
- Either add the marshmallow fluff between the peanut butter and jelly, or add it on top.

White Chocolate S’more
Ingredients:
- White Chocolate

- Marshmallows
- Extra: 5 Raspberries or 2 Strawberries (halved)
Preparation:
- Roast the Marshmallow. You can also either heat it over a stove or in a microwave.
- Place the hot marshmallow on one of the chocolate graham crackers.
- Lay the piece of white chocolate over the hot marshmallow and wait 30 seconds to 1 minute for it to soften.
- If you wish, add a few fresh raspberries or strawberries (halved) on top of the chocolate, then add another hot marshmallow to the remaining graham cracker and sandwich the s’more. The additional marshmallow will hold in the fruit.
Nutella & Banana S’more
Ingredients:
- Tub of Nutella or other Hazelnut Chocolate Spread
- 1/2 banana
- Roasted Marshmallow
- 2 Graham Crackers
Preparation:
- Spread nutella over one of the graham crackers.

Double Chocolate S’more à la Mode

- 2 Chocolate Graham Crackers
- Dark chocolate bar
- Vanilla ice cream (or chocolate, if you’re a true chocoholic!)
Preparation:
- Prepare just like you would a regular s’more and place in a small bowl.
- Add a scoop of ice cream over the top and eat with a spoon.
Cinnamon Apple S’more
Ingredients:
- Vanilla Sugar
- Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 Peeled and Sliced Apples
- ½ cup apple juice
- Cinnamon Graham Crackers
- Milk chocolate bar
- Mini Marshmallows
Preparation:
- In a bowl, mix the apples with the lemon juice, apple juice, vanilla sugar and cinnamon until they are well-coated.
- Add the apples and mixture to a frying pan over medium heat, stir regularly and cook for 5 minutes to soften the apples.
- Place the bottom graham cracker on a plate and top it with the chocolate.
- Add piping hot apples on top of the chocolate bar.
- Add mini marshmallows on top of the apple mixture and sandwich it with the final graham cracker.
S’moretini (Serves 16)
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces vodka
- 16 ounces chocolate liqueur (we used E & J® Cask & Cream Chocolate Temptation)
- 1 64-ounce pitcher
- 1 graham cracker
- 1 jar marshmallow creme (we like Marshmallow Fluff®)
- 16 martini glasses (disposable versions available at party stores)
- 1 bag wooden skewers
- 1 bag miniature marshmallows
Preparation:
- Pour vodka and chocolate liqueur into pitcher and stir. Refrigerate for at least several hours until the mixture is very cold.
- Crush a graham cracker in a plastic bag, then pour the crumbs into a small bowl.
- Dip a finger into the jar of marshmallow creme, then run it around the rims of your martini glasses to lightly coat. Next, dip each glass into the bowl of graham cracker crumbs and shake the bowl gently to cover the marshmallow creme with crumbs. (You can do this the night before the party and stick the prepared glasses in the freezer if you like.)
- If you have a grill going (or even better, a firepit or chimenea), offer each guest a wooden skewer and three mini marshmallows to toast over the flame (put the grill on high for the best browning). Note: Although the skewer package may advise soaking the skewers in water for at least 20 minutes, it's not necessary for this recipe.
- Pour about 3 ounces of the drink mixture into each of the prepared glasses and serve, letting each guest slide their roasted marshmallows into their drink for garnish.

S’more Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 or 2 large packages of chocolate graham crackers
- 2 cups of 2% milk
- 3 cups of Cool Whip Heavy Whipping Cream or Buttercream Frosting (whichever you prefer to frost with)
- 2 jars of Marshmallow Fluff
- Fruit or fruit preserves to mix with the marshmallow fluff for filling. Suggestions include at least three cups of the following (you can also mix fruits):
- Chopped Strawberries
- Chopped Bananas
- Blueberries
- Mashed Raspberries
- Mashed Blackberries
Preparation:
- Lay out a large rectangular tray to build the cake on.
- Mix the jars of marshmallow fluff with the fruit or preserves of your choice. This is your cake filling.
- Place the milk in a low-sided pan that will be easy to dip into.
- Dip a whole graham cracker into the milk and place on the cake tray. Place four dipped graham crackers together to create the length and width of the cake.
- Repeat to create another graham cracker cake layer. Each “cake” layer will be two graham crackers high (totaling 8 graham crackers per layer).
- Using a spatula, spread on a layer of the Marshmallow and fruit filling.
- Repeat by creating another graham cracker layer, followed by a layer of filling until your graham crackers are used up.
- Use a large serrated knife to trim each side of the cake so the layer is smooth and ready to be frosted.
- Frost the cake with the remaining Cool Whip, or with a butter cream frosting.
- Garnish by drizzling a chocolate fudge in a criss-cross pattern across the top of the cake.
