Marshmallows fall into the fire, chocolate melts unevenly, and crackers break easily. A 10–15% overage buffer ensures nobody misses out on a s'more. For kids' events, use a 20% buffer.
A standard 1.55 oz Hershey bar has 6 breakable squares. Each s'more uses 2 squares, giving you exactly 3 s'mores per bar. For large groups, buying multi-packs of 6 or 12 bars is more economical and easier to count.

Getting creative with the ingredients makes a big change. Rather than average chocolate, try cakes that already store chocolate inside. Such cookie does not divide like this quickly after bite, and you must not care about the chocolate that slips around.
Besides that, you can replace the cinnamon sugar graham cracker with halves of cookies, cream candy pole and big marshmallow. Use more quality chocolate, for instance Belgian, German or Italian, is a good step. Putting smooth chocolate truffles in roasted marshmallow is messy, but genuinely delicious.
Slices of bananas work as a replacement for marshmallow and give surprisingly good taste. A mix of nutella and banana slices in s’mores on graham crackers is another wonderful treat. S’mores in a foil packet is another good idea.
You scatter graham crackers, lay whole banana, bits of chocolate and marshmallows, then wrap everything in foil and grill for a really delicious dessert. S’mores cones are really easy to prepare and can be done above a campfire, on a grill or even in an oven. Add sprinkles too s’mores cones to help stop everything flowing above your hand.
S’mores nachos is a great dessert for the whole camping group that all can enjoy. For an option without fire, flameless mock s’mores can be prepared with graham crackers, marshmallow fluff and hazelnut spread.
There are tools that help. A s’mores grill with three cook points lets you keep everything above the flame without mess. Campfire tools from camping stores are especially handy and can be used for everything, from breakfast until s’mores beforebedtime.
A propane fire pit with adjustable flame can roast marshmallows for s’mores ever, without the smoke of a wood fire. Some rural areas even get complaints about wood smoke, so propane pits become more popular for treats like s’mores.
