S’mores are an absolute bonfire necessity. If you build a fire and you don’t make s’mores—well, what are you doing with your life?! (Just kidding—you don’t have to be as crazy about s’mores as we are.) Graham crackers, chocolate and toasted marshmallows are an absolute classic. For our back yard bonfire we attempted to take this classic treat and fancy it up a bit! We made sure to have a variety of chocolates available: dark, milk and cookies n’ cream bars. We also had fresh fruit for adding into your s’more sandwich, or enjoying on its own.
We pre-coated some graham crackers with different flavor combinations. We had (from left to right): mint chocolate chip, strawberries and cream, dark chocolate with sea salt, and coconut cream.
You can add flavor extracts to melted white chocolate to create so many different flavors. Keep in mind that extracts (and most food dyes) will cause melted chocolate to harder faster; so you may need to spread your chocolate onto your grahams quickly if you choose make some of these combinations.
Have fun making up your own flavor combinations and finding your favorite! xo. emma and elsie

Wowza! I LOVE smores!! This is such an incredible idea. I would never think to stick fruit in one but that sounds so yummy :]
I love this! What a great idea for a party. 🙂
LOOKS AMAZING!
I love it! and I do it often! 🙂
It looks so yummy! 😀
This is probably one of my favorite posts you’ve ever done!
Hi! I’m from Hungary, Europe and though I speak English quite well, I often bump into things that I just don’t understand. One of those things is “Smores”. I’ve already seen it lot of times on Pinterest, but every time a different looking cake/cookie belonged to the name, so I still have no idea what to think of when I read ‘Smores” 🙂
By the way, I just love your blog, and since I’m following you I have noticed that your style has inspired me a lot. So keep up the good work, you are great! <3
Here in the Netherlands you are not allowed to have a bonfire in the backgyard unless you are very rich and can afford house somewhere in the middle of nowhere…. But I can still try your specialities on a BBQ, can’t I?
LOve the whole idea!

Wow! These look so yummy! Have never tried smores, being in the UK. Not sure if we have graham crackers over here. We always toast marshmallows when we have a bonfire though, so we’re 1/3 of the way there I guess! 🙂
those look so delicious! what a great idea! I would have never thought of it!

OMG!!!!
delicious fun! fantastic new flavor ideas & combinations. i want to make them right now.
Looks delicious. The coconut ones just look so yummy!
I love this idea! Mostly because I really don’t like marshmallows. (I know, what exactly is my issue? LOL!) I’m all for all the other fantastic options.
those look like no smores i’ve ever had… and that’s what makes them awesome!
You are such a constant inspiration and I love your blog. We are redoing our backyard (with backhoe and all) and these will be ideal little treats for when we are “open for business” again!
What a fun idea! Thanks for sharing!
This is perfection. I love bonefire season!
Oops, I think I just drooled on my keyboard! Yum!

I live in the UK and I’ve never heard of graham crackers. What are they like? Does anyone know what the UK equivalent is? Crackers over here tend to be something you put cheese on rather than chocolate lol x
Hey 🙂
Wonderful recipe !
Especially this one with the Marshmallows.
Maybe you will like a recipe from my blog.
Today I posted a hot chocolate – Marshmallow recipe 😉

These look absolutely delicious! I wonder how you heat them though? Do you put them in the fire somehow?
I LOVE S’mores! We don’t have Graham crackers in England but I use chocolate digestive biscuits (they are coated with choc on one side)and they work brilliantly x x
Looks delicious! Yummy!
I love the fire more than the smores! That looks beautiful.Rx

This looks amazing (as about 100 other people have said). We love entertaining in our backyard every summer. My husband is a high school teacher, so he loves to invite people over to BBQ. This is absolutely on my list of treats. Can’t wait for the good weather and the backyard parties!
Omg those smores look delicious!
The Damsel in a Dress

Those lawn chairs are the cutest. What are the chances on a tutorial for covering those?

I highly recommend adding peanut butter to your s’mores! It’s life changing. PS – for those who don’t have a BBQ pit, you can make them in the microwave.
Mmmm that looks so good.. I never get invited to parties like these..
I guess the solution is throwing them myself.
Great ideas – I may have to do a chocolate, caramel & sea salt s’more sometime. I usually do raspberries, dark chocolate & marshmallow. Delish. <3
All i can say is ‘Droooooooooooool’ that looks so yummy!
Mmm… This looks just… wow!
Mmm s’mores! Love the idea of putting them on skewers. Thankfully I live in Southern California and dont’ always have to wait until summertime (or snow to thaw) for s’mores!
AWW this is so fun 🙂 definitively making these
That IS fancy! Love the crackers!

To Csilla from Hungary: S’mores are so named because they taste so good you want some more!!
What a cute + fun idea! I looove having bonfires at my house but what I love even more is making (EATING!) s’mores 😀 Love this idea, def want to ‘glam up’ my next bonfire!
You make an ordinary cookout look so extraordinary! Love the detail you put into everything.
try them with Reeses cups in place of Hershey bars. Mmmm!
So creative! You know how to turn simple things into treasures!
In the UK there are a a lot of companies offering novelty ID cards and fake ID cards on the web. The novelty ID cards are offered strictly as novelty items and as a result should only be used for these reasons. There are novelty identification cards of great quality and of bad quality. The inadequate poor quality cards are made up from low cost materials and these cards can be easily differentiated as fake. But the novelty UK driving licences sold by the NovB0ss are of very high quality. They look completely real and appear very genuine. His fake UK driving licences also contain working colour change holograms and full colour UV security markings. So if you are looking for a great quality novelty driving licence please check out his website HERE
