S’mores all around! Summertime means many things in the dessert department but the one thing you absolutely cannot skip is a good ol’ campfire s’more.
While everyone loves the classic, sometimes only the most extravagant s’more will do! Enter, peanut butter + banana.
Please don’t ever leave while you’re at it.
We’re really bringing the indulgence factor here because a good schmear of creamy peanut butter and a few slices of fresh banana really do up the flavors in this classic dessert SO much.
While still keeping everything easy like summer desserts should be!
These S’mores Feature…
- A base of crispy graham crackers
- Gooey chocolate squares and toasted marshmallows
- Creamy peanut butter and fresh banana slices
Making the S’mores
(scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe)
Ingredients You Will Need
- Graham crackers
- Marshmallows
- Peanut butter
- Chocolate
- Bananas
Traditional vs. Oven Method
I include separate instructions in the blog post for making s’mores over a fire and making them indoors in the oven under the broiler. Either method will work great here!
Tips for Perfect S’mores
- Prep graham crackers, banana, and chocolate – make sure these are all set out and assembled before toasting your marshmallows so you can slide the marshmallow onto the crackers immediately after toasting.
- Broil marshmallows on graham crackers if using oven – a quick 2-3 minute broil will brown the marshmallows. Feel free to broil them to your desired level of doneness.
Recipe Variations
Try these ideas for a different twist on these s’mores.
- Use a peanut butter cup – replace the chocolate with a peanut butter cup for extra peanut butter flavor.
- Try caramel – replace the peanut butter with a schmear of caramel sauce.
- Swap chocolates – try dark chocolate in place of the semisweet or milk.
One of these s’mores hot from the campfire really is summer done the right way! Peanut butter and banana lovers, you aren’t even ready for how much these are gonna blow your mind.
Let’s just say you may never want s’mores any other way again.
More summery desserts you’ll love!
