Ode to the S'more

I am considering doing a S'more Bar 
for party, so I started doing a little research. 
I was surprised by what I found... 
there are so many s'more-ish options out there.


The "Tradtional"
Graham + Chocolate + Marshmallow
A classic... the "little black dress" of s'mores!

The Glamorous & Modern
"S'mores Bar"



"The Rustic" 
S'mores Bar





And finally...
"S'mores To-Go"
what a cute party favor!

To create your own 
S'mores Bar 
might I suggest the following options
Chocolate 

Milk, Dark, White, Milk with Almonds, Cookies & Cream, Reese's Peanut Buttercups, Nutella

Grahams
Regular Honey, Cinnamon, Chocolate

Marshmallows 
Traditional white, Strawberry, Chocolate, Swirl, Spreadable Marshmallow "Fluff"

Extra's 
S'mores Pop Tarts, S'mores Goldfish


General Supplies

Fire Pit 
Or some sort of metal planter to hold the lava rock & Sterno in

Sternos 
The kind used under chafing dishes. Make sure you get the ones with the wick not the gel and make sure they can burn for 3+ hours, some only burn for 2 hours 

Lava Rocks 
Available at any home & garden store like Home Depot or Lowe's

Decorative Serving Platters & Jars 
or anything you wish to hold the marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers

Skewers/Sticks 
To cook your marshmallows on



If you don't have the time or energy to 
create a S'mores Bar, but you still want 
that delicious taste?
