Creative S’mores recipes

We are always talking about S’mores around here, and if you watch Camping Corner you know it’s mentioned at least once per episode! Well, we found this great article on sharedappetite.com featuring several YUMMY S’mores recipes! Here are just a few of my favorites.

 

Candied Bacon S’mores.

Graham cracker + dark chocolate + marshmallow + candied bacon = my new favorite s’more!

Seriously.  These Candied Bacon S’mores are salty sweet perfection.

It was my mom’s favorite, too.  I let her in on the taste-testing also.  That’s just the kind of sweet, thoughful son I am

And don’t let the thought of making candied bacon overwhelm you.  It’s ridiculously easy.

Coat some strips of bacon with brown sugar, place on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet, and bake in a 375 – 400°F oven for about 15-25 minutes, until the bacon is crispy.  Transfer to some paper towels to cool, and boom… candied bacon.

 

Salted Caramel S’mores

Need I say more?  Salted Caramel S’mores.

It’s as easy as grabbing your fave caramel sauce (or DIY’ing it if you’re that kind of awesomeness) and sprinkling on some seriously flaky sea salt.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Nutella S’mores.

Chocolate chip cookies make a great standby for graham crackers.  And can we just say nutella for the win?  For realz… who needs little squares of chocolate when you can slather on the nutella.

I just may have to make these Chocolate Chip Cookie Nutella S’mores a regular at my backyard grill-outs.

 

Mexican Chocolate S’mores.

Cinnamon + Chili Powder adds just that little punch of flavor that your taste buds want.  Really, I swear.  Just ask them.  They’ll tell ya how it is.

 

The Elvis S’mores.

Elvis apparently loved banana, peanut butter, and bacon sandwiches.  So my guess is that he would of loved these s’mores, too.

 

Chocolate Covered Potato Chip S’mores.

Have you ever had a chocolate covered potato chip?  You should.  Go ahead, pause this and treat yourself immediately.  I’ll wait.

:: waiting ::

Okay, now that your mind is blown, blow it again by making these Chocolate Covered Potato Chip S’mores.

 

Chocolate Covered Pretzel S’mores.

C’mon, you had to have seen this coming.  Chocolate Covered Pretzel S’mores are equally amazing.

Light bulb.  What if you did potato chips AND pretzels all on one?!  Uhm, #forthewin.

 

Rice Krispies Treat S’mores.

Asheley LOVES rices krispie treats.  She may or may not of (she did) eat the entire pan of rice krispie treats within 24 hours.

And Asheley was the official taste tester of this Rice Krispies Treat S’mores.  Her expert reccomendation?  Do an open-faced s’more on this one.

And my recommendation… make the rice krispie treats as thin as possible.  It makes the s’mores eating process a whole lot easier

 

Oreo Cookie S’mores.

My dad was all about these Oreo Cookie S’mores.  And the marshmallow is the perfect size for an oreo.  It’s like it was meant to be.

 

Reese Peanut Butter Cup S’mores.

Now I went ahead and cut that PB Cup in half lengthwise , but feel free to just slap one on there whole.  Looks like the classic fluffernutter just got a facelift… Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup S’mores.  #boom

#12 Reason To Buy A Camper: Quality Time With Family And Friends

We saved the best reason for last, Quality Time With Family And Friends. In a world of distraction, we can lose sight of what really matters in our lives. Family time is now replaced with screen time and even hanging out with friends is barley squeezed into our schedules. When we are purposeful with our time, the quality of it can be that much better. Camping, in my opinion, re-charges that time and cultivates healthier grounds for when we return back to our normal everyday busy schedules. So, what are we waiting for? It’s time to slow down and relax with the people we love!

#11 Reason To Buy A Camper: Flexibility

Owning a camper brings so much flexibility into your life. Especially if you own a motorhome. You can just pre-pack your RV days or weeks before and simply hop in and start driving away to your next grand adventure. The RV lifestyle opens up a new community for you to discover and you also get to see some amazing sites along the way. It’s practically taking your second home on the road, so you will never miss the comforts of home. Do you have pets? They, too, will feel comfortable staying in your home on wheels. What more could you ask for?

#10 Reason To Buy A Camper: De-Stress Your Vacations

I don’t know about you, but de-stressing is one of my top goals in life. Not only does it affect your health, but the health of the people around you. There are a ton of articles, how-to books, and advice on the web about how to de-stress. Those are all good, but when it comes to going on vacation, it can be a lifesaver. Let me tie all of this back to camping. There is just something about camping in the woods that automatically de-stresses you. The sound of birds singing, creek water dancing and the coziness of a campfire flickering at night. All of these things and more are auto de-stressors. So, what are you waiting for?

#9 Reason To Buy A Camper: Save Money

Who doesn’t like saving money? Let’s face it, vacations can drain your wallet quickly. You have the cost of hotels, car rentals, restaurant bills and if you are flying, the airline ticket fees. When you own a camper, you can save SO much more money! You already have your own place to stay, you can pack a week’s worth of food and avoid the hassle of the airport. Camping gives you the flexibility to travel. It also allows you to see the things that you might not get to see while staying at a hotel. Saving money will allow you to enjoy family time without feeling guilty about how much money you will spend. So what are you waiting for?

#7 Reason To Buy A Camper: Become Part Of The Community

Camping is not just a summer activity, its about belonging to a community. It’s a different world when you first enter a campground. You enter a new community of people who share the same interests and camp philosophy as you do. It’s like gathering around a campfire, while a buddy of yours starts playing a familiar tune on their guitar and everyone joins in to sing along. It’s that feeling you get when stories are being told and laughter breaks out all at once. It’s simply that feeling of being “home.”

#6 Reason To Buy A Camper: Meet Friendly Neighbors

You can meet so many nice people at campgrounds. The people are relaxed and laid back and are willing to give you a hand when needed. My family and I have experienced friendly neighbors reaching out to help us park our camper, unload equipment and even giving us a very nice maple stick to use in our campfire. It’s not like this when you stay at hotels. People at hotels like their privacy and are there to sleep and leave. Campgrounds are a different world. It’s like you have lived by each other for years!
