S’mores. The delicious trio of crunchy graham crackers, melting chocolate and expertly toasted, ooey-gooey marshmallow has the power to make a grownup feel like a kid again. But there’s more than one way to eat this timeless trifecta. Read on for our favorite riffs, including desserts, breakfast and even a s’mores-inspired cocktail.
It’s hard to believe that this pretty 4-Ingredient S’mores Pie (pictured above) comes together with so few ingredients and only 15 minutes of prep and cook time. Simply melt milk chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave and pour it into a prepared graham cracker crust. Once the pie’s set, add the marshmallows and broil until they’re just this side of torched.

S’mores Cereal Treats make the perfect portable snack. Graham cracker cereal (like Golden Grahams) stands in for the usual flat crackers. Stir the crunchy cereal into melted butter and marshmallows, toss with chocolate chunks and whole marshmallows, and pile the mixture into domes nestled in pretty paper liners for unbeatable lunchbox treats.

Behold the graham cracker-chocolate-marshmallow trifecta in drinkable form! This “schmancy” S’mores Martini (adapted from The Peninsula hotel in New York City) calls for cinnamon-infused vodka you make at home, chocolate liqueur and honey-flavored Scotch. Garnishes of marshmallow cream, graham cracker crumbs and cocoa powder add all the flavors and textures of s’mores to each martini glass.
