Celebrate Summer With S'mores!

To get the party started, we decorated an outdoor table with our Gingham Farm Party Collection. We love that the gorgeous cream and black plaids in this collection make transitioning from summer looks to fall parties, so easy! For this party we used the following items from the collection: Black Plaid Cocktail Napkins, Cream Plaid Dinner Napkins, Buffalo Check 9 inch plates, and the coordinating Gingham Farm Tablerunner. 

Next we grabbed a stone tray from Target, found here, to create a s’mores charcuterie board. You could use a similar tray with handles, or even a simple wooden cutting board would be perfect to create this fun farmhouse feel! 

Now for the good stuff...You can always stick with the classic s’mores ingredients, and your family will love them, but to boost the fun and make this party extra special we came up with some elevated options that even the most refined pallets among you will love. We’ve even created a printable shopping list to make recreating this party easy!

Here are the 3 new s’more combinations we tried that won out as everyone's favorites!

Dutch Salted Caramel S’mores-The delightful combination of a caramel stroopwafel, with a salted caramel chocolate square, and an extra big marshmallow, melts to perfection. This is an extra big, rich s’more! The little hint of salt really takes it over the top.

Ghirardelli- Milk Chocolate assortment
Marshmallow 

Dulce y Picante (sweet and spicy) S’more-Canelitas are a delicious cinnamon-sugar Mexican cookie. They used to be difficult to find, but because of their recent popularity you can get them in most grocery stores. Combine two of the cinnamon cookies, with a square or two of Lindt dark chocolate chili, and a cinnamon churro marshmallow from Smashmellow and you have the most amazing mix of sweet and spicy! Our marketing director Candice swears by this combination.

Raspberry Delight S’more-This was the all around winner at our taste testing! The fresh raspberries mixed with a dark chocolate dipped Smarshmallow and the Petit Ecolier biscuits, made for a rich but light and fresh s’more that really lived up to it’s name. Everyone wanted a second taste!

All you need now is a fire pit. Don’t have one? You can skip it and order a few of these to sit right on your table. And that is it! It’s simple to put together, no need to cook anything ahead of time, and your family will be talking for days about all the fun memories you made!
