S’mores are the ultimate campfire treat – but who says you need to go camping to enjoy them?
The other night, we hosted a s’mores party, and yes, it was as amazing as it sounds. We spiffed up the festivities with some fun creations from my Silhouette and got a little creative with our s’mores creations. Good friends, good food, and twinkling lights in the evening sky. That’s my kinda party.
With wild forest fires scorching the province however, the majority of BC undergoes a severe campfire ban every summer. This makes camping much less fun, and s’mores parties impossible. Unless you have a propane fire pit! Luckily our friend has one and lent it to us for this shindig. Thank goodness because s’mores over the BBQ would not be the same! So we lined up blankets on either side of the fire pit and set up a table full of s’mores goodies.

We had a couple simple rules at the s’mores party (aside from stuff your face and have a good time).

One: Before creating a s’more, you must put on a marshmallow tattoo.

I created these adorable marshmallow tattoos with my Silhouette Portrait. I was worried that printing and cutting the images separately would be tricky and end in marshmallow decapitation. Thankfully the registration marks made the process dead easy, and making these tattoos with Silhouette’s printable tattoo paper ended up being super fast. It was the perfect way to customize the party – and a ton of fun to see everyone sporting a little white and pink marshmallow!

I also decided that boring white napkins were not good enough. So I grabbed a s’mores design and printed it on my heat transfer paper. I even used regular paper napkins and, while the heat wrinkled the napkin a little bit, in the end it turned out great. I debated also printing out everyone’s names on them, but that would have been going to far. (…or would it have?)

Now for rule #2:
Two: All s’mores must be experimental
Everyone was warned in advance we wouldn’t be making your usual s’mores. Everyone was encouraged to bring a unique chocolate bar and, if they were so inspired, a unique filling.
For cookies there were breton crackers, graham crackers, chocolate chip cookies, biscotti and chocolate sided hob nobs.
As for chocolate, we had peanut butter, caramel, chocolate, cookie’s and cream, oreo, mint, aero, hazlenut, almond, macadamia, and so much more. (my freezer is stuffed with left overs).
For fillings, there were chocolate covered pretzels, nectarine slices, bacon, blueberries, dates, strawberries, and various sauces.

Oh friends, did we ever get creative.
We made all sorts of fun s’mores combinations, all of which I’ve named:
The sweetheart: Graham crackers, roasted marshmallow, mint chocolate and strawberry
The desert blue: Graham crackers, roasted marshmallow, dark chocolate, blueberries and dates
The sultry savory: Breton crackers, roasted marshmallow, bacon and dates
The salted crunch: Graham crackers, roasted marshmallow, chocolate covered pretzels and bacon.

But my ultimate favourite was this bad boy, appropriately (and perhaps boringly) named, the ultimate s’more:
A graham cracker on the bottom, a roasted marshmallow, two squares of caramilk, a piece of bacon, and two thin slices of nectarine topped with a chocolate sided hob nob cookie.
Serious decadent s’more perfection.


All in all it was about having fun, loosening the belt buckle and spending time with friends int eh last weeks of summer.
Don’t worry there’s still time. Go round up some friends, fire up that propane fire pit and make yourself some spectacular s’mores.
And make sure you let me know what you put in it!

While you’re at it, why don’t you serve up this s’mores ice cream too?

While Silhouette provided me with materials for this party/post, all opinions remain my own.
