How to Make the Best S’mores

There’s something undeniably nostalgic about a s’more—the sticky marshmallow, the crunch of the graham cracker, and of course, the rich, melty chocolate. But what if you could take that classic campfire treat and turn it into something unforgettable?

Cluizel dark chocolate—the artisanal French chocolate that adds a touch of luxury to any dessert. Whether you’re gathered around a bonfire, hosting a backyard BBQ, or simply using your stovetop, these gourmet s’mores are sure to impress.


🔥 Ingredients You'll Need:

  • Cluizel dark chocolate71% cacao bar from the Plantation Mangaro for a fruitier, exotic profile)

  • Marshmallows (classic or artisanal vanilla for extra indulgence)

  • Graham crackers (or try buttery shortbread for a twist)


🍫 Step-by-Step: How to Make the S’mores

1. Break the chocolate into squares
One square per s’more is ideal—but let’s be honest, no one will mind a double dose. Cluizel’s chocolate melts beautifully and adds complex notes of fruit, spice, or nut depending on the variety you choose.

2. Toast your marshmallow
Hold the marshmallow over a flame until golden brown (or delightfully charred—your call). No campfire? Use a gas stove, kitchen torch, or broil them in the oven for a few seconds.

3. Build your s’more
Layer a square of chocolate on one graham cracker. Add your toasted marshmallow and top with the second cracker. Press gently until the chocolate starts to melt.

4. Pause and savor the aroma
Before diving in, take a moment to enjoy the warm, rich scent of melted chocolate and caramelized sugar. This isn’t your average s’more—it’s a sensory experience.

5. Enjoy!
Take a bite. Let the velvety dark chocolate melt across your palate, enhanced by the toasted marshmallow and crunch of the graham cracker. It’s the perfect balance of sweet, bitter, soft, and crisp.


🔁 Variations to Try

  • Add a pinch of sea salt for contrast and to bring out the chocolate’s complexity.

  • Swap graham crackers for speculoos cookies or shortbread for a European twist.

  • Add a touch of vanilla to the marshmallows.

  • Double the chocolate, double the fun.
