25 Summer Smore Recipes

Thanks for Sharing!

Nothing says summer like the smell of toasted marshmallows over a crackling fire, sandwiched between graham crackers with gooey chocolate. But you don’t need a campfire to enjoy that iconic s’mores flavor! Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, planning a family gathering, or just beating the heat with a cool treat, these 25 summer s’mores recipes deliver all the nostalgic goodness in creative new ways.

The first s’more making of the summer is always a sweet memory.  We usually will have our first smores at the beach with a bonfire. There’s something so magically that comes from toasted marshmallows placed between two pieces of graham crackers with the heat of that melting marshmallow making a chunk of chocolate all gooey. Such sweet summer memories.

There’s so many different takes on the classic smore though.  And today I’ve got 25 amazing ones for you!

Traditional Smores

I traditional smore is a layer of graham crackers, a Hershey chocolate bar, and a marshmallow that’s been toasted over a campfire. Of course there are many ways you can recreate that traditional treat. Some common ways are using dark chocolate or white chocolate instead of traditional milk chocolate. One of my personal favorites is replacing the chocolate bar with a Reese’s peanut butter cup – so good!

You’ll find recipes below to make yourself a smore with coconut using an Almond Joy candy bar! Another great option is using a peppermint patty.

I’ve seen people replace the graham cracker with chocolate chip cookies or a fudge stripe cookie – there’s so many ways your can update a traditional smore if you want.

• Swap in Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Almond Joy for coconut vibes, or peppermint patties.
• Use dark or white chocolate.
• Try cookie swaps like chocolate chip or fudge stripe for the “crackers.”

Cold S’more Treats

During the summer a cold treat always hits the spot. So below you’ll find some cold s’more treats. How about a smore ice pop! The taste of smore, but refreshing! How about a s’more coffee milkshake – sounds like a great adult treat!

• S’mores Ice Pops.
• S’mores Coffee Milkshakes (a fun adult twist).
• No-Churn S’mores Ice Cream.

Smore Dips

There’s some great smore dip recipes below! How about one using cool whip – sounds like it would be light and creamy. Or what about a cookies and cream version? Both sound amazing!

• Cookies & Cream S’mores Dip.

Creative S’more Treats

You’ll also find some s’more rice krispy treats. There’s also chocolate s’mores bark. Or if you want something that’s more chocolatey I’d try the Smore Fudge recipe. There’s even a couple that could be enjoy for breakfast like a pull apart or a parfait.
