Today is National S’mores Day! I know there is a day for everything. :) So in honor of one of my favorite treats, some fun ideas for incorporating yummy s’mores into your day starting with this amazing s’mores bar from Amy Atlas!
I’ve seen lots of weddings – and even been to a few where s’mores were roasted later in the evening. Since it is your wedding day, why not gourmet up the s’mores a bit! I tried these amazing gourmet marshmallows from plush puffs last year at a food festival and can attest they are delicious! They even have special limited edition flavors like maple bacon and strawberry hibiscus which would be to-die-for in s’mores! Pairing them with the perfect chocolate is key. I’m sure most of you don’t know this, but I grew up right outside Hershey, PA – and my mom even worked for the famous chocolate company as a chemist and then in their marketing department. She is totally a chocolate connoisseur so I asked her advice on the perfect pairings.
For a super gourmet s’more, Scharffen Berger (this is an artisan chocolate company in San Francisco that Hershey actually owns) is a perfect choice. I’m a big dark chocolate fan and I think the tasting squares are the perfect size for s’mores. Hershey Bliss is another great choice for s’mores as it’s super creamy and they have a bunch of different flavors. Also the perfect size for a s’more and easier to find in your local store.
Making your own graham crackers are the way to go and love this recipe from Smitten Kitchen, but if you don’t have time the classic store bought graham cracker works also. :)

If you are thinking about a s’mores bar, I think these s’mores pops would be a great treat.

So super cute for a wedding: a s’mores kiss and a s’mores cake …
So many takes on s’mores! I love it. Below are s’mores cupcakes, s’mores kit package from u + u design, and s’mores from a wedding seen on Martha Stewart.
Anyone planning on enjoying some s’mores on their wedding day or maybe rehearsal dinner? Or maybe tonight! :)
Love this! We are planning a Gourmet S’mores Bar at our wedding in September and plan to offer “salted caramel sauce” to drizzle on the marshmallow and chocolate!
Between the gourmet marshmallow and Popsicle I could become a very large woman!
I love all these fun ideas! Especially the smores pops
YUM!!!!
I want ALL of these!
Yum !!! I want Nutella S’mores now ! Thank you girls :-)
yummm i never even thought of adding nutella to it! i like the idea of having smores stuff to do at the reception once it gets dark out. perfect for a laid-back backyard kind of night.
We’re doing s’mores at our backyard rehearsal dinner. My planning dilemma is whether to go for fancy marshmellows (cardamom sounds irresistible)…

… or for fancy chocolates (the Naga bar is my favorite)

LOVE LOVE LOVE
I just got REALLY hungry! I love the s’more pop idea. Brilliant! I’ll have to try that for a girls night or something. We are going to have late-night s’mores at our wedding reception. It’s going to be so fun. Oh, I also love the idea of somehow incorporating bacon into a s’more. I’ll have to try that at home.
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing~ YUM! I can’t wait to have a bride do this!
LoL I was like… I just saw that at Amy Atlas today!
Oh google reader… presenting me things out of order.
Great yummy round up Jen!
‘Smore what? Hahaha I crack myself up. And if you haven’t seen the Sandlot please see it so I don’t seem like a weirdo. ;) Anyway, yummm!!! Those all look amazing.
Thanks guys! So glad you loved the post and ideas :)
And yes, Jennifer I think incorporating bacon somehow would be tasty! :)
I am doing s’mores in my backyard rehearsal “dinner” too! Another great source for gourmet marshmallows is maimallows:

I want to marry the smores bar!!!!!
love every smores detail in here!
Ilove smores at weddings. One of the best idea’s byUnique Event Designs of Tampa, FLwas to use a cute medium sized flower pot, put some lava rocks at the bottom, a sterno lamp, cut a small piece of metal mesh to put on the top of the pot then a single layer of lava rocks onto of the mesh. The result is a cute, no flame, way to make s’mores at a wedding. The best part is that most venues allow this inside too!
There are so many things to chose from…I couldn’t decide
My friends had a s’mores/bonfire party after their rehearsal dinner. It was a fantastic way to spend the night before their big day. I tend to think of s’mores as a special treat, so I am all in favor of s’mores bars at weddings.
Very nice, love the Nutella. Nice Job by Jennifer.
