With Summer in full swing there is nothing we love more than to end our week with a bonfire. Not just any bonfire but a fire in our homemade oil tank fire pit. You can read how we made it here.
Anyway, the last time we were hanging out around the fire the girls decided they wanted s’mores and of course I was out of graham crackers. I’m so glad I was because I found a new campfire treat I like better than regular s’mores.
Who doesn’t love a sweet and salty combo?
S’mores are good, don’t get me wrong but sometimes I think they get a little sickening. I can only eat one and then I’m done. This new version could become a little addicting I’m afraid as it combines salty and sweet and who doesn’t love that combo?!
So here’s what you’ll need:
Marshmallows, Hershey Chocolate Bars and Ritz Crackers. The crackers keep this treat out of the sickening zone. I make mine with one roasted marshmallow and three chocolate sections sandwiched between two crackers. De-Lish! Now I do have to tell you that the adults around the fire pit preferred these over regular s’mores but the kiddos would have rather eaten them the old-fashioned way. That still didn’t stop them from eating a few though.
We like roasting food on the fire, especially marshmallows and hotdogs and it took awhile to find something sturdy and reusable to put them on. If you’re looking for sticks to roast with check these out. From now on whenever we buy the ingredients for s’mores I will definitely be picking up a box of Ritz Crackers! Try it the next time you’re sitting around the campfire.
Sounds yummy! I love sweet and salty!
I know me, too.
We love Smores but cannot have pork so we have used the vegan marshmallows which are not as sweet. I love the Ritz idea…. adding salt with the chocolate is a great idea!
They really are good.
Great idea! I would make a big mess though…
I love making s’mores with chocolate covered graham crackers.
Oooo, chocolate covered graham crackers? I’ll have to try those!
Oh yum!! I’m the same way, one and done. I’ll need to try these!
Have you tired chocolate covered Ritz? So good!
I haven’t but they sound like something I’d love! I’ll have to look for them!
What a great idea! I too find S’Mores get too sweet after just one! I will definitely give this a try next time we fire up the firepit!
I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
OMG I love the idea of sweet and salty!! The Ritz are a great idea!!
They are seriously so good!
Okay, I am totally trying this! I too love S’mores but find I can’t even finish one because they are so sweet. Next time we use the firepit, I’m giving this recipe a go – thanks for sharing!
Great, I hope you like them!
We have a S’more party planned this weekend, and we will try a few with Ritz crackers. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy them!
Brilliant! If I didn’t live in Florida where an outside fire during this time of year would be crazy I’d be outside tonight making these
I’ve actually roasted marshmallows over my gas stove when we couldn’t do it outside and they’re just as good, lol.
I imagine the saltiness of the cracker taste better with the chocolate and marshmallow, instead of using graham cracker.
Yes, it really cuts down on the sweetness factor.
Now I’m craving sweets!!!!
Uh oh, hope that’s a good thing, lol.
Yum! What a fun idea!!! I will have to give it a try!
I hope you like them!
I love sweet and salty! What a great idea to change out the graham crackers!
Sweet and salty treats are the best!
I’m such a sucker for sweet and salty. I’ll have to try these!
Me too! I hope you like them!
Still trying to get on board with salted and sweet popcorn together, but these I can do.
Oh, I love salty and sweet popcorn! Try these and see how you like the combo!
OMG why have I never thought of this! Ritz Crackers s’mores ingenious!!!!
I’m glad I had them on hand to try them, so good!
What a great idea! I’ve never thought about doing something like this. Yum!
Glad I tried them because they are so good!
Oh, my gosh – I NEVER thought to use Ritz!!! I love it!!!
I’m so glad I had them on hand because they’re so much tastier!
My husband would LOVE these!
Great, I hope you guys try them!
We cant wait for smores season, we love them.
So much fun making them, we love them, too!
What a tasty variation!
Yes it really is!
I’m officially drooling right now! I love sweet and salty – what a great idea!
You gotta try these, they really satisfy that sweet and salty craving!
I’ve never thought to do anything different than the traditional smore. What an interesting take!
I’m so glad I had to find something different or I’d have never tried them!
Yes yes yes! This sounds like a great combo. I did Ritz and Nutella and it came our great!
Wow, that sounds delicious!
