When you think of summer nights, you probably think of campfires. When you think of campfires, you most definitely think of sโmores. Thereโs really no better sweet treat for a late-night snack while hanging around the fire with dad. Sโmores are ooey, gooey and full of sweet flavors that stoke up nostalgia and create long-lasting memories. Theyโre almost the perfect sweet treat.
But what would you say if we told you thereโs one more ingredient to add beyond chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers that make this classic even tastier? That new secret ingredient just so happens to be a summertime favorite too. Watermelon!
As a naturally sweet and flavorful fruit, watermelon is an ideal choice for taking your sโmores up a notch. With a simple tweak to the classic sโmore, youโll be able to create a new take on the old favorite that everyone will enjoy.
Watermelon isnโt just sweet and fun to eat, itโs also a superfood. Sโmores donโt have to be just a sweet indulgence. Adding watermelon means youโre also adding several important vitamins and minerals like vitamins A, B6, and C plus magnesium, potassium, thiamin, and phosphorus.

How to build the perfect Watermelon Sโmore
Start by toasting your perfect marshmallow. Some like a light golden finish while others enjoy setting their marshmallow on fire for a minute and letting it char. Do your own thing, we donโt judge!
Build your sโmore by starting with a graham cracker bottom, a piece or two of milk chocolate, your toasted marshmallow, a thin slice of watermelon, and one more graham cracker to top it off.
Smush it all down and let the sweet goodness melt together, and then take a big โol bite. When it comes to enjoying sโmores, the messier the better. That milk chocolate and marshmallow starts to melt together and the watermelon adds a freshness you just donโt get with the classic sโmore.
