Gimme S’more Fondant Tutorial!

Don’t you just adore the taste of a messy, gooey s’more?! I have to admit, I’m not a huge fan of eat­ing marsh­mal­lows alone, but warm it up, add it to a choco­late and gra­ham crack­er sand­wich and I am all in! Though tra­di­tion­al­ly cooked on a stick over a fire in the out­doors, my fam­i­ly and I have been known to sim­ply stick the marsh­mal­low in the microwave to enjoy a s’more {or two!} dur­ing our indoor cam­pouts in our liv­ing room as well.

To cel­e­brate Nation­al S’mores Day on August 10th, I was inspired to re-cre­ate this delec­table treat in fon­dant form! Fol­low the step-by-step tuto­r­i­al to make a s’more of your own to top your cup­cakes and treats on the Craft­sy blog. Choose to make the ingre­di­ents sep­a­rate­ly or the entire s’more put togeth­er, melt­ed choco­late and all!

And here are S’MORE  ideas I’ve used in the past for a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent themed par­ties and celebrations:

I cre­at­ed these s’mores on a stick for our Sil­ly Old Bear  par­ty, which were super sim­ple to make and did­n’t require an open fire! By attach­ing the marsh­mal­lows to lol­lipop sticks with a bit of choco­late, I was able to dip them com­plete­ly in choco­late and crushed gra­ham crack­ers {use a rolling pin over gra­ham crack­ers in a plas­tic zip bag to eas­i­ly crush them}. And to dress them up for the pre­sen­ta­tion, I added a few sweet fon­dant bum­ble bees!

For our Take a Hike  par­ty a cou­ple of years back, I fol­lowed sim­i­lar steps to the s’mores on a stick above because I knew we would­n’t be able to have a fire at the par­ty loca­tion, except I want­ed to make them man­li­er, since the par­ty was for my dad for Father’s Day! Instead, I uti­lized the jum­bo marsh­mal­lows and I did­n’t dip them com­plete­ly in the choco­late and gra­ham crack­ers. Again, so easy to make and eat!

Last year, we cel­e­brat­ed my dad’s 75th birth­day with an Ari­zona Cow­boy  par­ty in hon­or of his west­ern roots, grow­ing up in Phoenix. We threw the par­ty at the same park where we had my daugh­ter’s Yee Haw, Cow­girl  par­ty four years ago, which has cov­ered wag­on tables and fire pits! To take advan­tage of the fire pit, I cre­at­ed a S’mores Bar where guests could make their own sweet deli­cious sand­wich­es by offer­ing all the ingre­di­ents in met­al tin buck­ets. To add to the decor, I includ­ed burlap strips inside, but lined them with parch­ment paper so that the food would­n’t be touch­ing the burlap directly.

Hope you are inspired to make some yum­my, ooey gooey treats of your own to have your guests beg­ging for s’more!
