REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER S’MORES

Reese’s Peanut Butter S’mores

This is an all time favorite of those who love both S’mores and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups! If your camping, this treat is a no brainer, but as long as you have a heat source or even a microwave you can make these tasty desserts! Below are several options of enjoying a couple twists on the traditional S’mores!

TRADITIONAL S’MORES

Let’s begin with the most traditional way to make S’mores. Graham Crackers, Hershey’s Chocolate squares and Marshmallow’s. You place a marshmallow at the end of a hotdog stick and place it over the fire. Wait until it is nice and toasty after turning slowly over the campfire, and remove on to one of the Graham Crackers. Take the other Graham Cracker and place a square or two of Hershey’s Chocolate on it. Then smash the two Graham Crackers together! Done!

You may not have a fire at your disposal, so here are two other ways to be able to get that camp treat feel while traveling! If you are not able to have wood fires due to the area or just not enough time, try a propane powered grill or firepit. This option works great and it usually comes with a safe travel bag for when it is still a little warm.

The last option would be if you were traveling and staying in a hotel or RV. Most hotel rooms come standard with a microwave. Take a Graham Cracker and Marshmallow on a microwave-safe plate and place it in the microwave. Caution, it takes only seconds for the marshmallow to burn, so try a smaller time like 10 seconds at first. Then if you need more time, you can always add it.

All three ways mention here can be done using open fire, propane fire or a microwave!

REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER S’MORES

Just like the traditional method of making S’mores, this recipe is super simple and yummy! You will need Two Graham Crackers, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup (option to get mini or thin ones) and Marshmallows. So you are just swapping out the Hershey’s Chocolate square for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup! So good and gooey! The peanut butter seems to balance out the flavor nicely and is a little warm and very delicious!

Peanut Butter Cookie S’mores

This recipe chooses to use Peanut Butter Cookies instead of Graham Crackers as it’s base. You then load the Marshmallow and whatever topping you’d like! It is an amazingly interesting switch up on the usual S’mores treat!
