12 Creative S’mores Bar Ideas

Setup a s’mores bar at your next party to let people make their very own gourmet s’mores! There are so many creative ways to serve up s’more fixings, and I’ve put together a collection of all sorts of unique smores bar ideas you can use to create your very own!

Between making s’mores at my parents fire pit with my family and being in charge of a youth summer camp, we’ve tried out all sorts of different s’mores bar ideas – and I’ve added my own personal notes with each of these ideas on tips to make the ideas smoother!

This is the perfect time for s’more fun with your family and friend over one of the most beloved s’mores treats ever!

Simple S’mores Bar

If you want to keep things simple, just do a couple of variations of s’more fixings like regular graham cracker, chocolate graham crackers, and put them all into a cute basket of some sort with a fun s’mores bar sign by your firepit! This is perfect for something like a youth camp where they’re just excited to be making s’mores!

You can watch the video in this post for tips on creating your very own s’mores bars!

S’mores Board

If you want to go gourmet, setting out a s’mores board with all sorts of s’mores toppings is perfect! We did this one for a camping party and included all sorts of different cookies, crackers, chocolate, spreads, and even fresh fruit to add a gourmet level to the s’mores! Organize it all on a beautiful board and add that board to the table or bring it to your campfire!

This works great when you’re serving s’mores to teens and adults who appreciate different kinds of s’mores – not everyone will be on board with a strawberry s’more!

Camping Theme S’mores Bar

Go all in on the camping theme with this fun camping themed s’mores bar! I love the addition of the wet wipes with this bar because everyone knows s’mores are super messy! And the fun camp theming is right on for an outdoor s’mores party – perfect for summer!

Sterno S’mores Bar

If you want to have a s’mores bar but don’t want an actual fire, setting up s’mores bar with Sterno cans like this one works great. This would be perfect at a camping birthday party! If you’re going to have a big group, I recommend setting up a separate table for your s’more ingredients and then a table with a number of Sterno cans so people can get their ingredients while they wait!

Indoor S’mores Bar

Have an indoor fireplace or fire table? Setup an indoor s’mores bar near the source of fire with everything you need to make s’mores. This would make a fun addition to an indoor camping night, a fall party, or really any time that you don’t have an outdoor fire to use for s’mores!

Pre-Made S’mores Bar

Make creating s’mores even easier by pre-portioning s’more fixings in cupcake wrappers like they did in this idea. Put it all on a tray and on a party table or bring it right to the fire for s’more cooking fireside! I love this idea because you can control the portions – great for budget s’mores bars!

S’mores Bar Menu

Upgrade your s’mores bar by adding a fun s’mores menu with some unique takes on s’mores people can make on their own. I’ve included some variations of s’mores below that would be perfect to add to your own menu!

Skewered Marshmallow S’mores Bar

This fun build a s’mores bar does a lot of the work for you by skewering the marshmallows – perfect for decor and functionality! You can do skewers with just one marshmallow or copy this idea and do ones with two and three too!

Let’s Get Toasted S’mores Bar

Walking S’mores Bar

Summer S’mores Bar

Want to setup a smores bar during the summer? Use this idea and put the chocolate on ice to keep it from melting! It’s the perfect option for having a summer s’mores bar for a movie night, summer party, and more!

S’mores Bar Without the Fire

Don’t want to have to melt marshmallows? Create your own version of a s’mores bar by simply serving up a bunch of s’mores treats instead! Here are a few of our favorite s’more treats that would make great additions to a s’mores dessert table!

• S’mores cookies
• Magic s’mores bars
• S’mores pie
• Peanut butter s’mores bars
• Oven s’mores dip

The sky is the limit when it comes to what goes on a s’mores bar but here are the four main things you’ll need, with one optional bonus!

1. Graham crackers or something similar to hold the s’more all together. Some great graham cracker alternatives include cookies (of all varieties), shortcake biscuits, waffle crisps, rice krispy treats, or even apples!
2. Marshmallows – because it’s not a s’more without a marshmallow no matter what other people might say. You can do regular store-bought marshmallows or homemade marshmallows of all sorts of flavors!
3. Some sort of additional filling – chocolate bar, chocolate peanut butter cup, roasted fruit, caramel or dulce de leche sauce, etc. Check out the list of creative s’mores at the bottom for even more delicious filling ideas!
4. Roasting sticks – I love these ones because they’re long so you can still roast a marshmallow without getting right up in the fire!
5. Optional – cute signs or a menu explaining different flavor combinations. I have some simple s’mores bar sign options at the bottom of this post but if you want a full menu, you can get a custom one made here!

How Much Does a S’mores Bar Cost?

You can totally do a s’mores bar on a budget by using plates/dishes you already have, the free printable signs in this post, and the classic flavor combinations. Or you can set up a s’mores bar that costs an arm and a leg but makes delicious s’mores!

This also totally depends on the number of people that you’re doing the s’mores bar for. I typically recommend planning on enough stuff for people to make two s’mores with the caveat that some people will make more and some people will make less.

If you’re going with gourmet topping options, you don’t need to have two of each item for every person – just at least for people to make two total – keeping a refill of items that you think might be the most popular. Just don’t open them until you need them and return what you can later!

Download the Printable S’mores Bar Sign

I just made four different s’mores bar sign options – one that is encouraging people to make s’mores together and then two with our s’more flavor combinations. And lastly, a blank one that you can handwrite (or use a PDF editor) your own s’more combinations in if you’d like.

I recommend printing them out on white card stock and if you’re going to be outside possibly even laminating so they don’t get destroyed easily!
