Did you know that August 10th is National S’mores Day? I didn’t either until the kind people I work for (PTPA) informed me of this fun day that pays homage to the camp fire favourite! Check out “S’mores Reinvented” by Toronto4Kids! I should have added a disclaimer - Warning! Do not read if hungry!
Because PTPA is all about sharing all that is wonderful about parenting and all about having fun too, here’s my family’s National S’mores Day post!
My 3.5 year old daughter made this S’mores creation.
Our Summer student made this one. She is a purist when it comes to S’mores and is all about the chocolate and marshmallow. Her GIANT S’mores creation had not one, but two marshmallows! Pretty hardcore!
My S’mores creation was different from the rest, and I was deemed to be the S’mores champion of the evening. Want to know why?
My S’mores treat was made with all the traditional S’mores ingredients (Graham crackers and marshmallow), but it also contained something extra special! I used Manitoulin Chocolate Works Pecan Butter Toffee! Oh, some may think it’s sacrilegious to use ‘good’ chocolate on S’mores, but why on earth would you not use anything but the best?
I have a little confession. I was actually going to send the Pecan Butter Toffee to a pregnant friend of mine (and fellow PTPA Social Media lady). Sorry, Carol! I had to do it in the name of National S’mores Day! Confession: The parcel we were sending Carol and her newest addtion-to-be hadn’t been sent out yet and we tore into it so we could get to the good chocolate. Don’t worry, C! We’ll replace it!
Hubby got Baker’s chocolate for his S’mores. In the past I’ve always used Hershey’s or Jersey Milk.
How do you make your S’mores?

This is way too much deliciousness for me to handle! So on that note, I will be making this because I have a horrible sweet tooth
hehehe
O..M..G. THere is nothing like craving a smore before 10am. Thanks so much Christine!!!!
I had NO idea there was a s’mores day! We just had s’mores while we were camping and they were super yummy
We made them in a bunch of different ways actually – different chocolate bars for the chocolate part to make it fun
Ummmmmmmmm smores day? Oh we will be celebrating here! Thanks for the heads up.
I have a baking business and I make “S’mores makers” They are homemade graham crackers that I top with a layer of chocolate and cool. Then all you have to do is warm up a marshmellow and sandwich the crackers together. It’s a chocolate, graham cracker heaven!
There is a national smores day? This is amazing, they are my favourite! Mmmmm
How dare you! :p j/k.
It looks divine!!!! I’m craving smores in the worst way! Will have to attempt this creation of yours once I receive my replacement. ;p Thanks for the recipe!
WOW I think I gained 5lbs just reading this delicious post!!!! I think I am going to have to risk a visit from the fire department tomorrow and just have a camp fire. My defense is “national smores day” its a holiday right!?!?!?
Um we need Ashley to submit her smores makers for the PTPA Award!! Looks like we would have no shortage of testers!
I like them the good old fashion way, with a marshmallow roasted over a campfire. Such a yummy camping treat!
OH! I just ate the last little bit of the toffee you gave me last week. That is awesome stuff. National s’mores day is my kind of holiday.
We ate tons of s’mores on our last camping trip.
Drooling at your pictures.
