When I was younger Smores were one of my favorite treats. The combination of crunchy and creamy and messy was pure delight for me. As summer draws to a close, what better way to celebrate the end of warm summer days than by experiencing that taste of a childhood summer treat? Although, smores have moved way beyond a marshmallow and chocolate between two graham crackers. They’ve even become, dare I say, sophisticated in some respects.
I’ve collected some of my favorite recipes that offer the perfect combination that I remember from years past.
Smores Cheesecake
The first recipe I came across a while ago, and even included it in my last cookbook collection as the perfect dessert for Mother’s Day. The graham cracker crust and tartness of the chocolate cheesecake goes perfectly with the sweet and creamy marshmallow topping. This recipe comes from Epicurious and goes perfect with a selection of berries.
Smore Cookies
From the Bakergirl, these cookies shove everything that is good about smores into little cookies of heaven. Chunky and melty, these keep all the mess of a smore contained.
Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake
This milkshake takes the wonder flavor of a fire-licked marshmallow and puts it in a smooth summer treat. The Curvy Carrot adapted this recipe and its a wonderful summer smores treat in a glass.
Smores Bars
This dessert from Let’s Dish are similar to their original counterpart, but take the ingredients and mix them all together in an amalgamation of all that is holy smore goodness. Complete with the oozing marshmallow.
Smores Cups
Pham Fatale takes the wonderful treat of a smore and adds another delicious ingredient, peanut butter. The small serving dish makes this recipe perfect for an adult party, while also offering a childhood reminder of summer.
