Sometimes the best things come in simple packages, like graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. S’mores are the ultimate treat, not just during the summertime, but all year long. The combination of melted chocolate, gooey marshmallow, and spiced graham crackers is just hard to beat. That doesn’t mean it can’t be improved upon though. We’re no strangers to switching up the regular s’mores routine, but these 15 s’mores iterations are our all time favorites.

It seems like a no-brainer that s’mores and baked goods should go hand in hand, and turns out, it is. We’ve combined our favorite campfire dessert with nearly all of our favorite baked goods. For dessert nirvana, try out our s’mores cupcakes, our s’mores brownies, our s’mores stuffed cookies, and more.

The fun doesn’t stop there, though. We love the slight crunch of graham crackers, but think that crunch is even better when paired with a silky smooth base like pudding or a blended drink. If you try our s’mores fluff, s’mores banana pudding, or boozy s’mores milkshake, I think you’ll agree.

We’ve got plenty of s’mores desserts to choose from, and nearly all of them can be easily made without a campfire. So what are you waiting for? It’s about time for a marshmallow mustache.

Tender pumpkin cookies are one of our favorite fall desserts. But why limit yourself to enjoying pumpkin sweets in the fall? The aromatics in pumpkin spice remind us of cinnamon graham crackers, and graham crackers make us think of s’mores. If you combine a tender pumpkin cookie and all of the classic s’mores ingredients, you get a little bit of magic.
