5 Unique & Creative S’Mores Recipes & Ideas

Traditional s’mores have always been everyone’s go-to favorite bonfire night snack and
camping activity, until now. Creative s’mores recipes, ideas, hacks, and unique,
personalized, s’mores boards are showing up on everyone’s social media posts,
in their backyards, and at bonfire parties.

At City Bonfires, it’s National S’mores Day every day. So, to celebrate, we gathered the best-of-the-best, unique s’mores recipes from our partners and fans so that you too can make these delicious s’mores creations and variations with the best mini portable fire pit around. All you need is your City Bonfires mini campfire, a few ingredients, and friends and family (if you’re willing to share 😉).

1. ICE CREAM CONE S’MORES RECIPE

Also known as Campfire Cones

If you love ice cream cones and gooey, chocolate s’mores, you’re going to love this campfire cones recipe. Plus, what could be better than two of the best summer desserts wrapped into one?! This fun recipe is just one of the creative ways to use ice cream or waffle cones (or use up leftover ice cream cones) in chocolate dessert recipes. Feel free to mix it up by adding different ingredients, like flavored/infused chocolates or gourmet marshmallows.  

INGREDIENTS: Marshmallows, Chocolate, and Ice Cream Cones.

2. SWEET AND SALTY S’MORES RECIPE

Tortilla Chip S’Mores

Hey chip lovers, you’re going to flip for this crispy and salty s’mores recipe from our partners at Que Pasa Foods. These are made with their Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips but, that’s not the only option. You can try out your own recipes with any of their organic, grain free or volcanic stone ground corn tortilla chips.

3. PEANUT BUTTER S’MORES RECIPE

Peanut Butter and Banana Toasted Coconut S’mores

4. SAVORY BACON S’MORES RECIPE

Bacon, Pear, Thai Basil, & French Brie S’mores

This savory s’mores recipe (from Voda Retreats) goes way beyond just adding bacon to a traditional s’more.

Pack accordingly 😉.

5. CHEESE AND CHOCOLATE S’MORES RECIPE

Grilling Cheese, Sea Salt & Almond Chocolate, & Thai Basil S’mores

This unique savory, sweet, and salty s’mores recipe (also from Voda Retreats) takes almond sea salt chocolate s’mores to the next level. Add grilling cheese and Thai basil and then sandwiched it all up between two crisp water crackers for the ultimate grilled cheese s’more.

INGREDIENTS: Grilling Cheese, Sea Salt & Almond Chocolate, Thai Basil, and Plain Water Crackers.

If you’re wondering “What Are the Best Cheeses for Grilling?,” Martha Stewart has some great options and advice, like Rougette Bon·fire cheese.
