Learning how to make great s’mores is easy with the basic ingredients. You can also make your s’mores memorable with your kids by adding their favorite fruit or toppings to make them amazing.

It isn’t a mystery that I love s’mores. I think they are one of the greatest food creations that has ever existed. You can tell by my Chocolate Chip S’mores Bars and my S’mores Ice Cream Sandwiches that are on my blog. I am crazy about s’mores. This year, I get to begin transferring my love of s’mores to my son who doesn’t even understand how great it is to enjoy a delicious, yummy, ooey-gooey s’more made with JET PUFFED Marshmallows, HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate Bars, and HONEY MAID Graham Crackers!

What’s needed to make a great s’more?

If you live in this country, you know to make a s’more, you have to have three basic ingredients, which are graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. Pretty easy, right? No mixing bowls, spoons, or mixers. That is all you need. Not only are the ingredients basic, they are also pretty affordable thanks to Dollar General. I love Dollar General. That store has been in my life for as long as I can remember. Not only does it offer low prices on most household items, they also offer low prices on name-brand products such as JET PUFFED Marshmallows, HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate Bars, and HONEY MAID Graham Crackers.

There are two ways I have made s’mores. I have stacked the ingredients and placed them in the oven on 250 degrees for a few minutes to melt the marshmallows and chocolate, and I have also melted the marshmallows over fire and allowed the heat to melt the chocolate that way.

Depending on the circumstances, either way is good. When making s’mores for my very picky eater toddler, I have also started to add different toppings as well. He doesn’t know what a s’more is quite yet, so I had to put some toppings that he’d recognize on top to get him to trust the deliciousness.

So, I looked around the kitchen and grabbed some things I know he loves like apples, bananas, potato chips, and peanut butter. I put the recognizable toppings on top of the s’more so that would be the first thing he saw and he immediately went for it (as you can see his hand in the photo)!

If you’re having a cookout for Independence Day or plan on having a bunch of kids over this summer for any occasion (S’mores Saturday would be a super fun theme for a backyard party!), I highly encourage you make a s’mores bar where you lay out the necessary accoutrement for the s’mores along with some of your favorite toppings. Try to lay out some fruit slices, nuts, pretzels, and potato chips! Let people go crazy and get creative with their s’mores! Just be sure to buy your ingredients at your local Dollar General store where the prices are always affordable and you can find everything you need to make the perfect s’more!
