If summer days are lazy, we make up for it when the sun goes down. There’s magic in a summer night! Not only do the stars shine bright, we also get the glow of fireflies begging to be chased and the crackling light of a bonfire. It all adds up to a warmth that can’t be experienced any other time of year — and that’s not counting the actual summer heat!
Consider the makings of your perfect summer night, starting with good friends, cold drinks and fire-friendly treats, all wrapped up in the great outdoors. Everyone knows that no bonfire, campfire or backyard firepit is complete without the essential sweet snack: s’mores!
We rounded up a few of our favorite s’mores recipes, from traditional to adventurous. Pick a favorite or try them all next time the craving strikes:
- Classic S’mores: Sometimes you just can’t beat the original.
- Candied Bacon S’mores: Just like the classic, but swap milk chocolate for dark and add a slice of crispy candied bacon. It’s as good as it sounds, promise.
- Mexican Chocolate S’mores: Take the traditional recipe up a notch with equal shakes of chili powder and cinnamon.
These are oh-so-delicious, but our favorite recipe is inspired by a particularly lip-smacking Scentsy fragrance:
This summer staple goes gourmet with hints of smoked caramel and vanilla bean malt.
You can get it as a Scentsy Bar, Room Spray or Scent Circle — so even when you’re nowhere near a flame, that tasty s’mores fragrance can fill the air. Or recreate the fragrance at home by trying your hand at this ooey-gooey recipe:
Smoked Caramel S’mores
This family-friendly recipe is perfect for an after-dinner, outdoor treat. With supervision, it’s also a great way to get the kids cooking!
Ingredients
- Graham crackers
- Large marshmallows
- Caramel ice cream topping
- Chocolate syrup or your favorite chocolate bar (milk or dark both taste great)
Instructions
- Toast marshmallows over an open flame. Don’t fret if one gets a little extra color — sometimes that charred flavor makes it even better.
- Layer your s’mores: Top a graham cracker with your toasted marshmallow, drizzle on the caramel and chocolate, then finish it off with another cracker to keep sticky fingers at bay.
- Enjoy!
Here’s to an entire summer filled with unforgettable — and delicious — nights, outside under the stars.
