S’mores are a summer staple for a reason, and while the classic recipe never disappoints, it’s also easy to turn the nostalgic treat into something a little more playful. Whether families are gathering around a fire pit, setting up a backyard campout, hosting a barbecue, or planning an at-home movie night, a few simple add-ins can make s’mores feel special for kids and adults alike. Think creamy nut or seed butters, fresh or freeze-dried fruit, a drizzle of caramel or honey, crunchy nuts, coconut, or even a sprinkle of sea salt. 

Whatever combination you choose, Once Again’s nut and seed butters are a creamy, satisfying addition, while the brand’s clean-ingredient, allergy-friendly graham crackers — available in honey, cinnamon and dark chocolate flavors — provide a flavorful base for endless mix-and-match possibilities. Here are a few creative combinations to try … 

Summer S’Mores

Caramel Delight: Top the bottom graham cracker half with chocolate, then add a dollop of cashew butter followed by a few chopped cashews. Cover with a toasted marshmallow, along with a pinch of sea salt and a small drizzle of caramel sauce. Cover with the top graham cracker and let sit to melt before enjoying. 

Tropical Vibes: Start with a base of graham cracker and dark chocolate. Cover with a toasted marshmallow, then garnish with toasted coconut and crumbled, freeze-dried mango. 

Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake: Start with a graham cracker, then add dark chocolate and a dollop of ricotta or cream cheese. Cover with a toasted marshmallow and sliced strawberries.  

Cool Mint: Cover a dark chocolate graham cracker with milk or dark chocolate and a toasted marshmallow. Add a dusting of crushed mint candy and cover with the top graham cracker. 

Elvis-style: Peanut Butter, Banana, Bacon, and Honey — Spread peanut butter over a graham cracker. Cover that with a banana and a toasted marshmallow, then follow with crumbled cooked bacon and a tiny drizzle of honey.
