National S'mores Day

August 10th

By Heather Wirtz August 8, 2013
S'mores are typically made from three simple ingredients - graham crackers, toasted marshmallows and chocolate, but why stop there? The ingredient and flavor combinations for s'mores are endless! 

Here are some nontraditional ideas that might become new favorites! August 10th is the perfect excuse to test a few of them out!

Chocolate and nut lovers:
graham cracker + marshmallow + peanut butter cup
graham cracker + marshmallow + hazelnut spread
graham cracker + marshmallow + chocolate + peanut or almond butter
graham cracker + marshmallow + caramel filled chocolate + sea salt

Fruity:
graham cracker + marshmallow + chocolate + banana slices
graham cracker + marshmallow + chocolate + strawberry slices
graham cracker + marshmallow + lemon curd
graham cracker + marshmallow + white chocolate + raspberry preserves
graham cracker + marshmallow + dark chocolate + orange marmalade 

Replace the graham cracker with:
chocolate, vanilla or cinnamon graham crackers
chocolate or vanilla wafer cookies
chocolate chip cookies
brownies
pretzels
buttery snack crackers

Switch out the traditional milk chocolate with:
dark, semi sweet or white chocolate 
assorted candy bars
sea salt chocolate

And don't forget, marshmallows now come in many flavors - strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, coconut, caramel and more!
