5 Ways to Add More to Your S’mores

What’s more iconic to eat around the campfire than the good ole’ fashion s’more? Camping offers us the opportunity to slow down and enjoy nature, all while indulging on delicious camping snacks. In celebration of National S’mores Day, pledge to camp as part of the National Wildlife Federation’s Great American Campout and take your s’more to the next level.

Here are 5 easy ways to spruce up your s’moregasbord:

Add in some fruit

Use something healthy and an extra layer of sweet to compliment the chocolate. Try strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, or bananas.

Upgrade the chocolate

Skip the simple chocolate and get adventurous! How about cookies and cream, white chocolate, mint chocolate, or your favorite candy bar?

Punch up the flavor

What goes great with chocolate? A complimentary flavor like peanut butter, Nutella or caramel. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you!

Ditch the graham cracker

Whether you like your snacks salty or sweet, there are tons of options for changing the outer shell. On the sweet side, try your favorite cookie. Chocolate chip, peanut butter, gingersnaps, and Girl Scout cookies were our favorites. To compliment the chocolate and marshmallow with something salty – try pretzels, or Ritz crackers.

Mix up the marshmallow

If you can dream it, there’s a marshmallow flavor for it. A few of our favorite flavors include peeps, coconut, sweet potato, apple pie, watermelon, cranberry, cherry vanilla, and chocolate.
