Ever wondered what true soulmates look like? (Hint: they're even sweeter than you may think!) If you haven't already guessed, we're talking s'mores: the summertime favorite that combines the true soulmates of the dessert world, chocolate and marshmallow. That's right, this list is all about the ooey-gooey campfire dessert you might remember as a kid. And, of course, we can't forget the crunchy graham crackers, which serve as the stabilizing base of this heart-melting treat. While the key ingredients always remain the same in a s'mores dessert, the ones on this list go outside the (graham cracker) box, if you know what we mean.
In this collection of s'mores dessert recipes, you'll find cool treats like the frozen s'mores cookie bars and s'mores-flavored ice cream, decadent cakes like the s'mores lava cake, and no-bake desserts like the creamy s'mores milkshake. You can try your hand at making homemade marshmallows for some of these recipes or just grab a bag or jar of Fluff from the store.
The best thing about these chocolate dessert recipes is that they don't require a campfire or fire pit. Each of them can be made from the comfort of your own home. In fact, there's even a tool that will help you make perfect s'mores in the microwave! If you ask us, all of the s’mores dessert ideas on this list are total crowd-pleasers. Once you try one or two of these delightful recipes, you probably won’t want to stop until you’ve tasted them all!
Chocolate Meringue Pie

Baked S'mores Donuts
S'mores for breakfast? Sounds good to us! Thick chocolate donuts dipped in chocolate ganache get a toasted marshmallow and crushed graham cracker garnish in this sweet recipe. Plus, the donuts are baked rather than fried, so they're simpler to make and (slightly) healthier to eat!

This sweet take on the charcuterie board is something we can always take s'more of! Cover your board in an assortment of chocolatey treats, including classic s'mores ingredients, plus extras like cookies and s'mores dip.
S'mores Dip
Gooey, layered s'mores dip takes the work out of making each sandwich so you can scoop up the best parts of the dessert straight from the skillet. All you have to do is add your choice of chocolate to the bottom of a skillet, followed by a layer of marshmallows. Stick it in the oven and bake until the marshmallows are golden and toasty on top!
S'mores Bark
If peppermint bark is your guilty pleasure in the winter, you'll love this crispy, thin s'mores bark come summer. This easy recipe calls for layers of crispy graham crackers, melted chocolate, and mini marshmallows for an irresistible treat. Once you break off a piece, you won't be able to stop!
S'mores Shake
Why eat s'mores when you can drink it in a pretty, chocolate-rimmed glass? This shake is as simple as it looks, calling for two s'mores, ice cream, and milk blended to drinkable perfection.
S'mores Tart
This grown-up version of the campfire treat will be adored by kids and adults alike! It consists of a graham cracker crust, rich ganache filling, and fluffy, toasted meringue topping.

S’mores Ice Cream
Although classic s'mores are enjoyable in any weather, the summertime treat becomes just as refreshing as it is satisfying when made into indulgent ice cream. It's creamy, luxurious, and packed with swirls of chocolate, marshmallow creme, and graham crackers.
Peanut Butter S’mores Cookie Bars
These loaded cookie bars are the chocolatey crossover we didn't know we needed! They take the classic flavor combo of s'mores up a notch with the addition of chopped chocolate peanut butter cups baked into the bars to gooey perfection.

S'mores Cake
Layers of graham cracker cake are filled with marshmallow fluff and then covered in chocolate buttercream. But wait, it gets better! There's dark chocolate drizzled throughout and a crunchy graham cracker crumble on the outside. Yum!
S’mores Dipped Strawberries
Chocolate-dipped strawberries are delicious as is, but when you add marshmallows and graham crackers to the mix? Well, that's downright irresistible! Plus, they only take 20 minutes to make.

Peanut Butter Cookie S’mores
We weren't sure if s'mores could get any better. But for peanut butter lovers, switching the graham crackers out for peanut butter cookies is a genius idea! It's a soft, chewy, and nutty upgrade.
