The Ultimate Gourmet S'mores Guide
There’s nothing wrong with the classic combination of graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows, but s’mores can be so much more. With flavored marshmallows, different chocolates, and a few creative swaps for the traditional graham cracker, you can turn a campfire favorite into a dessert worth getting excited about.
Whether you’re planning a backyard fire, building a s’mores board for a party, or just looking for an excuse to toast a really good marshmallow, these gourmet s’mores ideas are a delicious place to start.
The inspiration for this guide started with Blackberry Bliss. A customer purchased our Blackberry marshmallows specifically to make gourmet s’mores, and we loved the idea. It got us thinking: if one flavored marshmallow could transform a familiar favorite, what other combinations could we create?
Blackberry Bliss
Sweet-tart blackberry marshmallows are a natural match for rich chocolate, making them an easy way to give classic s'mores a more sophisticated twist. Start with a graham cracker and dark chocolate, then take the berry flavor even further with blackberry preserves, fresh berries, or a little lemon zest.
Marshmallow: Blackberry
Try it with: Dark chocolate • Graham crackers • Blackberry preserves • Fresh blackberries • Lemon zest
Our pick: Graham cracker + dark chocolate + Blackberry marshmallow + a thin layer of blackberry preserves + lemon zest
Reverse S'more
Why should chocolate always be the bar in the middle? Our Chocolate marshmallow flips the classic s'more around, pairing rich, fluffy chocolate with creamy white chocolate for a playful twist on the original. Keep it classic with graham crackers, or double down on dessert with vanilla cookies.
Marshmallow: Chocolate
Try it with: White chocolate • Graham crackers • Chocolate graham crackers • Vanilla cookies • Sea salt
Our pick: Graham cracker + white chocolate + Chocolate marshmallow
Lemon Meringue
Bright, tangy Lemon marshmallows bring the flavor of lemon meringue pie straight to the campfire. Pair them with creamy white chocolate and buttery shortbread, then add a touch of lemon curd or fresh zest for even more citrus flavor.

Try it with: White chocolate • Graham crackers • Lemon curd • Shortbread cookies • Fresh lemon zest
Our pick: Shortbread + white chocolate + Lemon marshmallow + a very thin layer of lemon curd
Lavender Honey
Floral Lavender marshmallows make an unexpectedly elegant s'more, especially when paired with mellow white chocolate and buttery shortbread. A light drizzle of honey complements the lavender without overwhelming its delicate flavor, while a touch of lemon zest can add brightness.

Build Your Own Gourmet S’more
The best part of gourmet s’mores is that there really aren’t any rules. Start with a cookie or cracker, add your favorite chocolate and a toasted flavored marshmallow, then finish with an optional accent like preserves, curd, honey, fresh fruit, or citrus zest.
Try balancing rich flavors with something bright or tart, and let delicate flavors shine with simpler pairings. Most importantly, have fun experimenting. Sometimes the unexpected combinations are the best ones.
