When you think of summer nights, you probably think of campfires. When you think of campfires, you most definitely think of sโ€™mores. Thereโ€™s really no better sweet treat for a late-night snack while hanging around the fire with dad. Sโ€™mores are ooey, gooey and full of sweet flavors that stoke up nostalgia and create long-lasting memories. Theyโ€™re almost the perfect sweet treat.

Roasting Marshmallows

But what would you say if we told you thereโ€™s 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 sโ€™mores up a notch. With a simple tweak to the classic sโ€™more, youโ€™ll be able to create a new take on the old favorite that everyone will enjoy.

Watermelon isnโ€™t just sweet and fun to eat, itโ€™s also a superfood. Sโ€™mores donโ€™t have to be just a sweet indulgence. Adding watermelon means youโ€™re 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 Sโ€™more

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 donโ€™t judge!

Watermelon S'mores

Build your sโ€™more 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 โ€˜ol bite. When it comes to enjoying sโ€™mores, the messier the better. That milk chocolate and marshmallow starts to melt together and the watermelon adds a freshness you just donโ€™t get with the classic sโ€™more.
