You’re not truly camping unless there is a campfire and s’mores!
Each of our camps has a community area with a fire pit that we light nightly and provide supplies for s’mores. Our standard-issue s’mores kits include roasting sticks, graham crackers, jumbo marshmallows, and milk chocolate Hershey bars.
Below are a few ideas on how you can glam-up your s’mores and make them truly luxurious.
Caramel S’mores
Ingredients:
- Graham Crackers
- Jumbo Marshmallows
- Ghirardelli Caramel Squares
Directions:
- Unwrap one square of caramel chocolate and rest it on a similarly-sized graham cracker – set aside
- Place marshmallow on a roasting stick and hover over the fire
- Rotate the marshmallow frequently until it reaches your preferred roast level. Some people enjoy a lightly roasted marshmallow, while others prefer to char theirs; just be careful to avoid melting your marshmallow off the stick and into the fire!
- Using the roasting stick, carefully remove the marshmallow from the heat and place it on top of the caramel square graham cracker
- Place a second graham cracker on top to create a sandwich while removing the roasting stick
- Enjoy your s’more!
Peanut Butter S’mores
Ingredients:
- Graham Crackers
- Jumbo Marshmallows
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Directions:
This recipe is a simple switch-out of the Hersey bar with a peanut butter cup. We do recommend heating up your marshmallow a little more than usual to account for the extra thickness of the peanut butter cup compared to the chocolate bar.
S’more Alternative
for the non-chocolate/marshmallow lover
Ingredients:
- Starbursts
Roasted Starbursts may sound odd, but hear us out! When heat is applied to an unwrapped Starburst, the sugary-candy caramelizes creating a brûlée effect. The outside crisps and the inside melts!
Directions:
- Unwrap the Starburst and place it on the roasting stick as you would a marshmallow
- Hover over the fire, rotating frequently
- Remove from heat when you see the outside of the candy start to blister
- Carefully, remove from the roasting stick and enjoy!
