Caramel
Adding another oozing component is never a bad idea, and nothing oozes better than caramel. Homemade, straight from the jar or even as part of a Twix or Rolo, you shouldn’t discriminate: they’re all wise decisions. Try this salted caramel cookie s'mores recipe.

Bacon
We’re not saying bacon to be trendy. In fact, it takes a great deal of confidence for us to mix our meats with our sweets. But after experiencing the brininess of pork paired with the creaminess of marshmallows, it’s truly fantastic (not for your cholesterol). Try this bacon s'mores recipe.

White Chocolate
It’s a well-known fact that white chocolate is the yin to milk chocolate’s yang. If you’re in the market to amp up the decadence and ditch the cacao, then the former is an ideal option. Try this Italian white chocolate s'mores recipe.

Fruit
