Gourmet S’mores
Get ready for your mouth to water. Some of these gourmet recipes take a bit more time, but some are super simple. All are AMAZING!
- Baklava Truffle S’mores: Get the recipes for sumptuous Baklava Truffles. Then create the s’mores by sandwiching a truffle between graham crackers with a roasted marshmallow.

- Reese’s S’moreos: Open an Oreo, put on the toasted marshmallow, add a Reese’s peanut butter cup, and close the Oreo with the top cookie.
- Rum Cherry S’mores: Strain the juice out of a jar of cherries and soak the cherries in rum overnight. Push the cherry into the center of the melty marshmallow before assembling the s’more.

Beyond the Roasting Stick
No roasting sticks? No problem! There’s more than one way to cook your marhmallowy yuminess.
- S’mores Banana Boats: Slice a ripe banana (still in the peel) lengthwise. Place chocolate and marshmallows into the banana. Wrap it in foil. Put it over the fire until mallows and chocolate are melted. Eat with a spoon.
- S’mores Cones: Stuff sugar cones with Reese’s mini cups and marshmallows. Wrap in foil and warm on a grate next to the fire.
- Mexican S’mores: Tortilla, chocolate and marshmallow — deep fried and covered in cinnamon and sugar.
- Oven-Baked S’more Squares: Heat oven to 350°F. Place 9 graham squares in single layer on bottom of 8-inch square pan; top with 36 marshmallow halves. Sprinkle with chopped chocolate. Top with remaining marshmallow halves, cut sides down. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until marshmallows are puffed and golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes and cut into squares
- S’more Pie: Graham cracker pie crust, cold chocolate pudding filling with chocolate chunks — set in fridge to chill. Add Marshmallow Creme topping spread on top and return to fridge to chill. Ready to slice and serve after 1 to 1.5 hrs.
