What Are S’mores?
S’mores are a contraction of two words: Some More. Because that’s exactly what you’ll want after your first bite!
The recipe first appeared in the 1920s in a Campfire Marshmallows cookbook as Graham Cracker Sandwiches.
These classic treats are made by placing a roasted marshmallow between two graham crackers with a piece of chocolate.
The heat of the roasted marshmallow softens the chocolate for a delicious treat.
How Do You Set Up a Holiday Dessert Board?
A s’mores board is very easy to put together!
You’ll want a variety of cookies, graham crackers, candies, and marshmallows. You can even serve sliced fruit for some fun flavor combinations.

How to Make Indoor S’mores
Have you seen some of the new indoor, tabletop firepits that are growing in popularity?
They’re the perfect way to make s’mores in the comfort of your home.
We love the look of the indoor firepits made by Ston Home: they’re available in black or white granite.
However, there’s a wide variety of options available now to suit any home’s decor.
Wooden skewers or fondue forks work well to roast the marshmallows.
Be sure to use the type of fuel recommended by the particular indoor firepit you choose.
Many of them recommend either 91% isopropyl alcohol or this type of gel fuel.
Both options are smoke-free and clean-burning.
I prefer using an indoor firepit that has a lid to easily control the height of the flame and also quickly extinguish the fire.
What Should You Include for a Christmas S’mores Board?
Over the years, there have been lots of variations on this classic recipe.
Who says you have to use graham crackers as the sandwich?
Get creative and try other options like chocolate chip cookies, waffle cookies, gingersnaps, shortbread, and even pretzels!

Would This Be Considered a Dessert Charcuterie Board?
Charcuterie is a term referring to a variety of cured meats and cheeses.
In recent years, charcuterie boards have become a staple for entertaining, and for good reason!
Since these s’mores boards don’t include meats and cheese they are not considered charcuterie.
This is strictly a dessert board, a simple and trendy way to serve up a tasty treat.
So tell me, which s’mores combination do you want to try most?
