Why You’ll Love It
Ingredients and Substitutions
See printable recipe card for complete ingredients and instructions.
- Marshmallows
- Chocolate Bars – The classics are always loved, but there are so many fun chocolate bar ideas. Try white chocolate or fruit flavors!
- Graham Crackers
- Nilla Wafers
- Biscoff Cookies (Speculoos)
- Waffle Cookies – These have a great crunch, or try my Stroopwafels without a pizzelle.
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
- Caramel Sauce
- Chocolate Sauce
- Peanut Butter
Tools to Use
- Marshmallow Roasting Sticks
- Board
- Mini Solo Stove (or any campfire, of course!)
How to Make
- Begin with a large tray. While it’s helpful to have something with a lip so you don’t lose items during transport, anything will work.
- Start with your bowls of dips or spreads. Center them throughout your tray as anchors.
- Build around them with visual cues in mind! Group like items for a pretty display.
- Save the marshmallows for last, as they can quickly become stale once out of their wrappers.
- When you’re ready to make a s’more, start by adding any spreads to your cookies or crackers so they are prepared. On top of the spread, place any chocolate bars you’d like.
- Next, toast your marshmallow. Once it’s toasted, add it to your cookie or cracker with the spread and chocolate. Complete with a secondary cracker or cookie for a sandwich effect.
Variations
- Vary your crackers! Try cinnamon, honey or chocolate graham crackers. Cookies are equally beautiful on this board – anything with enough space to trap the marshmallow will work! You can use any favorite cookies here.
- Chocolate – Mix it up with white chocolate, mint chocolates, Reese’s, caramel squares and more.
- Marshmallows – We tend to love the jumbo marshmallows here. They even make flat ones specifically for s’mores now! You can make your own homemade marshmallows or even use marshmallow fluff. Flavored or gourmet marshmallows are always a great idea too!
- Add Fruit – Not only would this give your board a pop of color, but raspberries, strawberries and bananas are all incredible with chocolate.
- Lemon – Speaking of fruit, try a lemon spin on this treat by adding lemon curd and lemon wafer cookies with your toasted marshmallows.
- Add Dips and Spreads – We added salted caramel, cookie butter and Nutella. You could do jellies and jams, secret chocolate sauce, and so much more!
Tips
- If you know you’re serving lots of guests and won’t have to worry about waste, go ahead and open your chocolates for display. It looks cute whether they are wrapped or unwrapped!
- Choose a variety of items to please both kids and adults – gourmet chocolates go over very well with the adults in our neighborhood.
- Anything can be a dessert board if it’s a food safe material, or lined with parchment paper! Get creative!
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Simply design your board as desired with all items that are shelf stable. Leave the marshmallows to add just before serving. If you’re using dips or spread, simply add the bowls onto the board and design remaining ingredients around them – you can add the items that need refrigeration when you’re ready to display and serve!
Use any of your favorite cookies, or even crackers to create a sweet and salty masterpiece! Try waffles or waffle cones, and even ice cream cones for a fun spin.
