When you think of s’mores, you probably think of camping and cool evenings huddled around the propane-powered fire table or fire pit. It doesn’t take much to create some warm memories – a few roasting sticks, marshmallows, chocolate bars, and graham crackers. Don’t forget some warm blankets for your family and friends!
But what if we told you there’s a way to elevate your s’mores game? You can create a s’mores board! The concept is similar to a charcuterie board, but instead of meats, cheeses, and crackers, you lay out all the ingredients you need for custom s’mores creations. It’s a great way to cultivate culinary creativity and elevate your usual s’mores with some fun twists.
Recipes to Try
To truly get creative with s’mores, you need to look beyond your basic ingredients. You don’t have to use graham crackers. Cookies, or even a waffle cone, will do. Don’t hesitate to try unique flavor combinations, too. Read on for some recipes that could spark some new ideas. And be sure to jot down the ingredients. You’re going to need them for your s’mores board!
Our first option combines classic s’mores flavors with a traditional dessert. Chocolate Chip Cookie S’mores pair grilled chocolate chip cookies with marshmallows and even more chocolate. By grilling this dish, the cookies become warm and gooey again, almost like they just came out of the oven. Try sprinkling them with a little sea salt right before you serve them for an added twist.
This next recipe is for all the chocolate lovers out there! S’mores with Chocolate Cookies provide a chocolate on chocolate on chocolate experience. The marshmallows in this dish almost take a back seat with all the chocolate involved!
Who doesn’t love mini food! Bite Size Pretzel S’mores provide a portable, poppable s’mores experience. The crunchy, salty pretzels combine with marshmallows and chocolate to create an almost sweet and savory treat. Be sure to make plenty! They’re going to go fast.
If you’re looking for a more elevated s’mores experience, try these White Chocolate Raspberry S’mores. White chocolate bars combined with fresh raspberries really make this recipe feel elegant. If you’re feeling especially fancy, top each s’more with a fresh mint leaf or two. Your taste buds – and your guests – will thank you!
Finally, a non-traditional s’more recipe that’s served in a cone! Grilled S’mores Waffle Cones are the perfect, kid-friendly treat. The little ones are free to run around the yard, cone in hand, without skipping a beat. These s’mores are so easy to assemble, the kids can even help put them together. Simply load up a waffle cone with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, and you have an on-the-go treat for the kiddos… and the grown-ups.
Creating Successful S’mores
There are so many options when it comes to creating delectable s’mores. When you build your s’mores board, don’t shy away from things like unique cookies, flavored chocolates, fruit, jams, toppings, sauces, and more. Try to include a few curveball ingredients, too – things like bananas, bacon, and frosting. Make your choices as simple or as decadent as you want! Your family and friends will love coming up with their own, signature combination. You can find more ingredient ideas here. And don’t forget to have everything laid out ahead of time so everyone can dive right in! That includes plates and lots of napkins!
S'mores Safety
At Blue Rhino, we’re always focused on safety. That’s why we want you to take proper precautions when it comes to making s’mores over your propane-powered fire table or fire pit. Always stay a safe distance away from the flame. When it comes to s’mores, that means using a grilling stick or skewer that is long enough for you to avoid getting too close to the fire. Remember that those s’mores are hot when they’re done! Give them a few minutes to cool off before you dig in. And make sure you know how to safely operate your propane-powered fire table or fire pit. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. You can also find additional safety information on the side of every Blue Rhino grilling tank.
