I’m pretty sure s’mores are on of my favorite things about summer. They make me think of my childhood, of summer camp, and of happy memories.
Last week when Josh and I were in Walmart, we picked up all the ingredients we needed to make s’mores. We were going to have a s’mores party! Kraft Jet Puffed marshmallows, Honey Maid graham crackers, and Hershey chocolate bars for the win!
We brought everything over to Jordan’s where we were having a cookout that night. We figured s’mores would be the perfect treat to end a fun party with.
Do you notice a special ingredient? We added bananas to our s’mores! They’re quick and easy to slice, roast up great, and taste fabulous on a s’more. It’s my secret ingredient.
S’mores have come a long way since I was a kid. They now have square graham crackers and square marshmallows! They’re perfect for s’mores and manage to make a quick process even quicker! You’re looking at 10 minutes from opening the packages to biting into your s’more, tops!
We had our cookout on Jordan’s roof. Once we were done grilling burgers, we were ready to toast some s’mores. We speared our marshmallows and bananas, making sure to cut thick banana slices so they’d hold their own against the marshmallows. It was the perfect blend of tastes.
The three amigos grilling away. Can you tell it was windy? 😀
Look at how puffy those marshmallows get! The one on the left looks like it’s eating the banana slices. 😉
Toasted perfection! I love how s’mores are able to be customized for everyone’s tastes. Jordan prefers her marshmallows darker.
While I like mine on the just-slightly-warmed side.
My finished masterpiece. I was proud.
It was one ooey, gooey, absolutely delicious s’more. The banana takes this classic to another level. It makes for a super sweet, super creamy treat. I may or may not have had two. 😉
It was a perfect way to kick off the season with my best girlfriends. Something that I love now that I’m older is revising and re-imagining special moments from my childhood. I thought s’mores were good when I was 12, but let me tell you, they’re even better at 24. Life is good.
Questions of the Day: Are you a fan of s’mores? What topping would you add to the classic combination?
P.S. It’s a double post day! Make sure to check out today’s Friday Five!

Aww thank you lady! What a sweet comment! <3
THATS SUCH A GREAT IDEA!!
sleepover soiree here this weekend for the child.
We shall try!
Let me know what you think! They are so yummy!!
I had no idea they made square shaped marshmallows?!?! How brilliant! I don’t know the last time I made a s’more because we’ve lived in apartments for ever it seems haha. But growing up on the lake in Michigan it was what we did all summer long. My secret ingredient is Reeses peanut butter cups instead of Herseys 😉

My co-worker was just talking about reeses peanut butter cup s’mores! I’m not a fan of peanut butter and chocolate together (I know, I’m super weird) but my husband really wants to try it!
banana smores?! omg yum!
Sooo good! They somehow make s’mores taste even better!
Oooo I never thought to add banana to my smores! That is such a good idea!
They are so yummy! I can’t believe it took me this long to try it!
Oh my word, S’mores are my ALL TIME favorite food, I can only imagine what adding bananas would do. Have you ever had them dipped in Bailey’s? I bet the banana ones would be divine dipped in rum!

That’s the recipe for the marshmallows, after that just pop on a s’more and devour!!
O.M.G. I need to do this!! Thank you for sharing that link!
The other day I had a banana and nutella crepe and it was magical. I will definitely have to try adding bananas to my s’mores from now on!
Mmm I love crepes! I hope you enjoy banana s’mores! I was a huge fan! 😀
This post is making me HUNGRY! Even without the graham crackers, mine was stinkin’ good!
I want more s’mores!! haha
Yum!! S’Mores isn’t really a thing here in the UK, but I’ve heard SO much about them. Definitely giving me some inspiration 😉 Looks like you had a great time too!
Ohh I hope you get to make them soon! They’re so yummy!
Oh my! This looks amazing! I’m usually a traditional s’more person but I’m really trying to break out of that shell. I think this looks like the perfect recipe to expand my s’more tastes! #client
It’s such a good combo! If you try it, I hope you love it!
Nice! We are headed out camping this weekend..I may have to add bananas to the grocery list. 🙂
Ohh have fun camping! You should totally get bananas! They taste so good on s’mores!
OMG just seeing this now..you should check out my post today! I did something kind of similar..great minds! 🙂
