Summer is winding down and school for my kids starts next week! (Didn’t summer just start?!) So, in an effort to grasp what’s left of the hot summer days, I decided we should make some s’mores. Now these aren’t just any s’mores. They are what I like to call, “fancy s’mores” because they have fresh fruit and premium chocolate in them.

Brookside Chocolates at Target

I’m a HUGE fan of Brookside chocolates! The Dark Chocolate Mango Mangosteen is my favorite flavor. We even used the Dark Chocolate Pomegranate chocolates in some nut cups for my brother’s wedding a few months ago. Delicious! So when I saw this display with 7 new varieties of Brookside chocolates at Target, I couldn’t wait to try them all. And I did, except for the cranberry almond bar, because it’s not cranberry season and I wanted the fresh fruit to match the chocolate bars for my s’mores. I’m picky like that.

All of the Brookside chocolate bars are made with smooth dark chocolate. We got the Summer Berry Crisp, Blueberry & Cranberry Almond, and Mango Coconut Crisp flavors. (Mango Coconut Crisp was my favorite of the 3 we tried!) Then I just needed some freshly sliced strawberries and mangoes, plump blueberries, and all the regular s’mores fixings of honey graham crackers and large marshmallows. I even got some chocolate graham crackers for extra fancy s’mores!

Roasting Marshmallows Over a Gas Grill

Since we don’t have a fire pit, we improvised and used our gas grill to roast the marshmallows. I’ve roasted marshmallows over an electric stovetop before, but we thought it would be more fun to be outside, as if we were using a fire pit. (It’s still summer after all.) Next time, we’re using the side burner though because the direct flame is better. So if you use a grill, remove the grates to get as close to the flame as you can.

Graham crackers + toasted marshmallows + fresh fruit + Brookside chocolate bars = fancy s’mores. Put the kids to bed and have your friends over. These s’mores are for people who will appreciate the finer tastes in life.

Strawberry S'mores - chocolate graham crackers, freshly sliced strawberries, melty marshmallows, and Brookside's Summer Berry Crisp Chocolate Bar.

The first fancy s’mores we made used chocolate graham crackers, with freshly sliced strawberries, melty marshmallows, and the Brookside Summer Berry Crisp Bar. It was like eating chocolate covered strawberries! Yum!

Mango S'mores - fresh mango slices, toasty marshmallows, and Brookside's Mango Coconut Crisp Chocolate Bar sandwiched between honey graham crackers.

I might just be a sucker for mangoes, but fresh mango slices, toasty marshmallows, and the Mango Coconut Crisp Brookside Bar sandwiched between honey graham crackers was quite a treat! P.S. One of any of these s’mores is quite satisfying, but I definitely savored my taste of this one.

Blueberry S'mores - honey graham crackers, fresh blueberries, gooey marshmallows, and Brookside's Blueberry & Cranberry Almond Chocolate Bar.

Last, but not least, the honey graham crackers, fresh blueberries, gooey marshmallows, and Blueberry & Cranberry Almond Brookside Bar combination turned out great. I really don’t think there is any combination of fruit and Brookside chocolate bars that you could go wrong with for these fancy s’mores. I was matchy-matchy with the fresh fruits and flavors of the bars, but you can most definitely switch it up. There are no rules here.

Let’s not forget the Dark Chocolate Blueberry and Milk Chocolate Almond Pouches that I bought! They went perfectly in a snacking dish with some fresh blueberries, salted cashews, dried cranberries, and mini pretzel crisps. Sweet and salty is my favorite snacking combo! Plus, you just can’t go wrong with chocolate. It was a great snack while we toasted marshmallows and made our fancy s’mores!

What are you doing with family or friends to savor the last few days of summer?
