S’mores Pops

For an easy and cool treat on a hot day, try a s’more pop. Take a toothpick and use it to dip your marshmallow into melted chocolate. Roll in graham cracker crumbs and leave in the freezer for twenty minutes.

In a glass, alternate layers of graham crackers and chocolate pudding with a mixture of peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and marshmallow fluff.

S’mores Trail Mix

S’mores Bites

Cut graham crackers into circles with a round cookie cutter. Top with marshmallows and put under the broiler until brown. While they are still hot, top with a Hershey’s kiss or a Rolo.

Banana S’mores

Cut a banana down the middle and stuff it with marshmallows, chocolate chips, graham crackers and nuts. Wrap in foil and bake in the oven for ten minutes to make a melted and gooey banana split.

Frozen Banana S’mores

I was going to make a banana stand joke here, but maybe you all aren’t as caught up on the Bluth family business as I am lol. Anyhow, here is a perfect frozen banana treat. Skewer bananas on any kind of wooden skewer you have. Shish-kabob skewers work well. Freeze bananas then dip in melted chocolate and roll in crumbled graham crackers. Pipe on some marshmallow fluff and return to the freezer until they are frozen solid.

S’more Popcorn

Spread caramel corn on wax paper on two large cookie sheets. Top it with mini marshmallows and golden graham cereal. Drizzle with chocolate and let the chocolate set. Then mix it all up and eat!

All of these recipes are delicious AND will be fun for the whole family. Plus, while they are busy rolling bananas and such around in graham crackers, you can sneak in a glass of wine. Everyone comes out a winner. Let me know if you have any other s’more recipes that you want to share!
