s’mores sampler platter

June 3, 2013

DIY smores sampler platterI am pretty much in love with the gourmet s’mores bars that grace summer soirees (and weddings). And until I put together a S’mores Party Bar with flavored marshmallows and fun nicknames like “Chunky Monkey” (peanut butter, banana, dark chocolate, chocolate graham cracker, of course), I will take out every opportunity I can to try out smaller scale s’mores buffets on my family and friends.

s'mores sample platterLike this s’mores sampler platter, for example. We put it together last weekend with one grocery store trip and then spent Memorial Day trying out various s’mores combinations.

In fact, my sister-in-law and I devised a system to make mini s’mores with just one rectangle of graham cracker so that we could try more combinations. Love it (and love that I have someone to share my sweet tooth ways- so thankful for that girl).

smores sampler platterA s’mores sampler platter is as easy as it sounds to put together- buy a lineup of various chocolate combinations (we got classic Hershey’s, Hershey’s Cookies and Cream, Reese’s cups, Junior Mints, Ghiardelli’s Midnight Dark Chocolate Squares and Almond Joys) as well as graham crackers and marshmallows (we got the flat s’mores ones), Nutella and peanut butter, set out on a platter (and a chalkboard if you’re extra excited about this like Trish and I were), and roast up all sorts of s’mores combinations.

s'mores sampler platterI think every. single. party. this summer needs a s’mores sample platter. Maybe every family dinner as well?

    This is such a great idea! Where did you get those flat marshmallows? I did a quick search and couldn’t find anything like it.
    Thanks for the great idea!

      Ruby, thank you for the sweet comment!
      I got the marshmallows at Super Target- they’re called “stacker marshmallows” by Kraft! Hope that helps!

    I have never heard of a S’mores bar, but I love this idea for summer! And you can buy flat marshmallows?!? I had no idea. Thanks for broadening my horizons, Kirstin!

    I’ve never really been a s’mores fan (I know, so sad), but I think I would like these. Maybe the flat marshmallows will be the key for me ๐Ÿ™‚

      Jill, funny story, I didn’t love s’mores either, until I was pregnant with Pi (that and wedding cake). Crazy, right?
