Few treats evoke the nostalgia of summer nights and campfires like s’mores. But if you’re craving s’mores and don’t have a campfire handy, you’ll need some creative ideas to satisfy your sweet tooth and transition into fall. Use these creative ways to include s’mores in other snacks, ensuring you enjoy the magic of this sweet treat all year round.
S’mores Stuffed Cookies
The sweet sensation of biting into a soft cookie feels even better with a gooey s’mores surprise inside. Start with your preferred cookie dough recipe, such as our peanut butter chunky cookie, and roll it around a piece of chocolate and half a marshmallow.
Ensure the dough covers the filling completely before baking. Once baked, these cookies reveal a molten center reminiscent of s’mores, offering a delightful twist to a classic cookie.
S’mores Brownies
Brownies are already a decadent treat, but adding s’mores flavors takes them to another level. Prepare your favorite brownie batter, then layer graham crackers at the base of your baking pan.
Pour half the batter over the crackers, sprinkle with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, then add the remaining batter. After baking, you’ll have a rich, fudgy brownie with pockets of marshmallow and chocolate, evoking the essence of s’mores with every bite.
S’mores Popcorn
Transform your popcorn into a sweet and savory snack reminiscent of s’mores. Start by popping your corn, then toss it with melted chocolate and marshmallow. Add crushed graham crackers for texture.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly so the chocolate hardens. This crunchy twist is perfect for movie night; s’mores popcorn is an irresistible combination of crunchy, gooey, and sweet flavors.
S’mores Milkshakes
A s’mores milkshake is a perfect way to enjoy the classic flavors in a refreshing form. Make a normal milkshake with milk and ice cream, but add melted chocolate, marshmallow fluff, and a touch of graham cracker crumbs to change the flavor.
Rim your glass with chocolate syrup and graham cracker dust for an added s’mores experience. Top with whipped cream and a toasted marshmallow for a drink that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious.
S’mores Quesadilla
Try making s’mores quesadillas for a quick and creative twist on traditional quesadillas. Spread marshmallow fluff on one tortilla and a sprinkling of chocolate chips and crushed graham crackers on the other. Place the marshmallow fluff tortilla on top of the other and cook it in a skillet until the contents melt together.
Once cooked, cut into wedges and serve with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a side of marshmallow fluff for dipping. S’mores quesadillas are a quick and easy weeknight snack using tortillas. This delightful snack combines the gooey sweetness of s’mores with the satisfying crunch of a quesadilla, making it a perfect treat for gatherings or a cozy night in.
These creative ways to include s’mores in snacks offer a fun way to enjoy the classic flavors without a campfire. There’s a s’mores treat here for every occasion, whether baking cookies, mixing up a milkshake, or serving a dip at your next party. Try these recipes to see which will become your new favorite!
