Campfire s’mores are beloved treats that beckon memories of backyard bonfires and starlit nights, but who says you need to stick to the traditional chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker trio? With Chuao Chocolatier’s delightful array of mini chocolate bars, gourmet s’mores alternatives abound. Ready to level up your dessert game? Let’s dive in!
Loaded S'mores "Charcuterie" Board
Imagine starting your next get-together with a beautifully arranged spread we like to call a s’mores-gasbord. Spread out an array of crackers and cookies like traditional graham crackers, buttery Ritz, spicy gingersnaps, crisp saltines, and decadent chocolate chip cookies.
Add different flavors of marshmallows—traditional vanilla is great, but try to find some fun options like chocolate, caramel, and strawberry—alongside an assortment of spreads like peanut butter, Nutella, and raspberry jam.
The star of your s’mores board will undoubtedly be the colorfully packaged Chuao Minis. With flavors ranging from Spicy Maya with a touch of cayenne to plant-based Baconluxious infused with maple and vegan bacon, there’s a perfect mini bar for every palate. To boost the fun, have your guests compete, offering full-size Chuao bars as prizes for “tastiest new invention” or “far out favorite.”
Creative S’mores Combos
The joy of s’mores is mixing and matching to find the perfect bite that suits your palate. Here are some tantalizing pairings to try:
- Graham Crackers + Cinnamon Marshmallows + Cheeky Cheeky Churro mini: The nostalgic flavor of s'mores with an extra hit of cinnamon-sugary goodness.
- Saltines + Caramel Marshmallows + Salted Chocolate Crunch Mini: A delightful blend of sweet and salty with a satisfying crunch.
- Gingersnaps + Toasted Coconut Marshmallows + Carrot Cake Mini: Keep it light and lovely with a hummingbird cake-inspired mix—perfect for the white chocolate lovers!

How To Make Oven Baked S'mores
No bonfire? No problem! You can still enjoy s'mores made in the comfort of your kitchen using an oven, toaster oven, or kitchen blowtorch. Layer a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, then add graham crackers (or the cookie or cracker of your choice) topped with your choice of Chuao Mini and a marshmallow. Broil for a few minutes until the marshmallows are golden brown and the chocolate is melty and delicious. This method is perfect for a quick treat without the smoke and sticks.
