Our Favorite Fourth Ingredients

Even though S’mores are traditionally a three-ingredient dessert, adding a fourth flavor to the party can be a fun way to get creative and mix things up. Here are our favorite additions that can take your S’mores to the next level:

  • Caramel — Smooth caramel brings another layer of sweetness and depth to your sophisticated S’mores flavor palate.
  • Peanut Butter — There’s a reason “fluffer nutter” is a popular flavor. Spread some creamy peanut butter on your graham cracker before assembling your S’more and taste deliciousness as the magic unfolds.
  • Strawberries — Bring some fresh flavor to this decadent treat with a layer of sliced strawberries. The juicy pieces of fruit meld well with chocolate and marshmallow.
  • Bananas — Speaking of fresh fruit, sliced bananas are another excellent choice. The subtle sweetness is a wonderful addition to a classic S’more.
