Take your basic s’more recipe, but substitute regular chocolate for chocolate with salted caramel in the middle, and throw some bacon in there, because when didn’t bacon make everything better? For those looking to be seriously authentic, cook your bacon over an open flame.
Ingredients: Graham cracker + bacon + chocolate with salted caramel + marshmallow
Although I have no clue why it’s called an Elvis S’more, the man had good ideas if it was indeed his invention. Switch your regular chocolate for a Reese’s peanut butter cup (remember, there’s no wrong way to eat a Reese’s), and chuck some banana in there with your ‘mallow.
Ingredients: Graham cracker + Reese’s peanut butter cup + banana + marshmallow
Similar to the after-dinner cocktail, the Grasshopper, this s’more takes on a minty twist when you switch out regular chocolate for mint chocolates. It can almost be considered the same as brushing your teeth, if by brushing your teeth, you wanted to get more cavities rather than eliminate them.
Ingredients: Graham cracker + Andes mint chocolate + marshmallow
Oreos make everything better, so chuck some Oreo crumbles into your s’more to step up your game a notch. For the truly committed, you can even switch regular graham crackers for the chocolate variety, and throw in white chocolate instead of regular to balance out the chocolatey-ness of the Oreo. Then devour.
Ingredients: Chocolate graham cracker + marshmallow + white chocolate + Oreo crumbles
Peanut butter jelly time, y’all! Take the childhood (and adulthood, for those that still haven’t mastered the kitchen) favorite into the s’more category by throwing peanut butter and jelly onto your graham cracker before you toss on the roasted marshmallow, and you have yourself a balanced meal. Or something like that.
Ingredients: Graham cracker + marshmallow + peanut butter + jelly
For those looking for a more gourmet option, try subbing out chocolate for a lemon curd concoction (this may require some preparation in advance), and you’ve got yourself a twist on the classic lemon meringue pie. Because what pie isn’t better when you put marshmallows on it?
Ingredients: Graham cracker + lemon curd + marshmallow
Though they may not actually make this in Mexico (seriously, where do some of these names come from?), that shouldn’t stop you from sampling the Mexican S’more. Take your standard recipe, but “season” your finished product with cinnamon and nutmeg before squashing the graham crackers together for a guaranteed flavorgasm.
Ingredients: Graham cracker + marshmallow + chocolate + cinnamon + nutmeg
It’s Nutella. If you’re not already adding it to everything, you’re missing out. And I mean everything – sandwiches, cereal, meat loaf, salads, spoons – you get the point. Everything.
Ingredients: Graham cracker + marshmallow + chocolate + Nutella
For those looking for a tropical twist, toss some shaved coconut into your s’more, and you’ll swear you’re on the beach (granted, you may actually be on the beach, as those are fantastic places for a s’more bonfire). You can also switch out the chocolate for a Bounty or Mounds bar, which already combine your chocolate and coconut for you.
Ingredients: Graham cracker + marshmallow + chocolate + coconut
If you have the foresight to plan your s’more consumption early on, try baking up some brownie cookies to replace the standard chocolate in your s’more. The gooey chocolate brownie adds some seriously next-level textures and flavors, and it means that you get to make yourself sick from eating far too much brownie mix before you even start to make yourself sick from eating far too many s’mores.
Ingredients: Graham cracker + Brownie cookie + marshmallow
