Did you know the first s’mores recipe was published in a Girl Scout guidebook from 1927? That’s right, making s’mores around a campfire is a time-honored Girl Scout tradition—and the inspiration behind the Girl Scout S’mores® cookie!

The basic s’mores recipe calls for a marshmallow toasted over a campfire, sandwiched between two graham crackers and a piece of chocolate—yum. We asked Girl Scouts, volunteers, troop leaders, and parents to share their favorite gourmet s’mores recipes on Facebook, and the results are mouthwatering!

Here are some delicious s’mores recipes to try.

Crème Brûlée S’mores

· One Peeps chick or bunny
· Two graham crackers
· One block of Chocolate

Roast the Peep in the fire instead of a regular marshmallow. The sugar caramelizes on the outside of the marshmallow like a crème brûlée. Give this one an extra few seconds to cool down before enjoying.

· One marshmallow
· Two pieces of thinly sliced apple
· A spoonful of peanut butter
· One block of chocolate

Use slices of apple instead of graham cracker, smeared with peanut butter for a creative gluten-free s’more! It works best to put peanut butter on both slices of apple so everything sticks together. For an added (but not gluten-free) crunch, use half an Oreo cookie instead of chocolate.

· One marshmallow
· Two graham crackers
· One block of dark chocolate
· One pineapple ring

Carefully roast the pineapple ring in the fire, and it set aside. Then roast the marshmallow to your desired doneness, and create your s’mores! You can also add (or replace the pineapple with) sliced strawberries!

· One bag of marshmallows
· One bag of chocolate chips
· Several graham crackers (for dipping)

This recipe is perfect for when you’re craving s’mores but don’t have access to a campfire—like on a rainy night! Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Layer the chocolate chips on the bottom of an oven-safe skillet or glass dish. Coat kitchen shears with nonstick spray, and then cut each marshmallow in half. Arrange the marshmallows on top of the chocolate, and bake until they’re golden brown, about 5–10 minutes. Let the dip cool down for a few minutes before dipping the graham crackers in and enjoying. Try substituting chocolate chips for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups to mix things up!

Want s’more s’mores recipes? Try these appetizing twists:

· Use Girl Scout Cookies instead of graham crackers. Samoas®/Caramel deLites®, Thin Mints®, Lemonades™, Thanks-A-Lots®, Trefoils®, and Do-si-dos®/Peanut Butter Sandwiches are all popular choices for making s’mores. Check out our Girl Scout Cookie s’mores recipesfor inspiration!

· Switch out the chocolate bar. Peanut butter cups, chocolate peppermint candy, caramel-filled chocolate, and raspberry-filled chocolate are popular choices to replace the standard chocolate bar.

· Make a raspberry-filled marshmallow. Place a raspberry on the end of the stick while you’re roasting the marshmallow. When you pull off the marshmallow onto your s’more, it wraps around the raspberry!

· Get fancy with the details. Roll the edges of your finished s’mores in chopped nuts, sprinkles, crushed chocolate cookies, coconut flakes, or whatever else you like!
