Whether you prefer your marshmallow lightly toasted or perfectly charred, there’s something undeniably nostalgic about taking that first gooey bite. While the traditional version remains hard to beat, plenty of familiar faces have found ways to reinvent the classic with everything from cookies and dessert bars to fruit combinations and clever no-campfire creations. Some recipes stay true to the flavors everyone knows and loves, while others push the humble s’more in a whole new direction.
From Olympic champion Simone Biles’ cookie twist to Martha Stewart's elegant take and Ree Drummond's crowd-friendly version, these celebrity s’mores recipes showcase just how versatile the beloved dessert can be. Along the way, we also found creative ideas from Valerie Bertinelli, Trisha Yearwood, Tiffani Thiessen and Katie Lowes, proving that there are countless ways to enjoy one of summertime's most iconic treats.
After trying everything from peanut butter-packed bars to a playful Oreo-inspired creation, one recipe clearly stood above the rest. Here's how these celebrity s’mores recipes ranked, and which one earned a permanent spot on our list of favorite summer treats.
How We Tested the Celebrity S'mores Recipes

Because s’mores are all about balance, we judged each recipe on a few key factors: flavor, texture, creativity, ease of preparation and overall "s'moresiness." A great s’more should highlight the classic combination of chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker, while still offering something memorable.
The Celebrity S'mores Recipes, Ranked Worst to Best
These are the seven celebrity s'mores recipes we taste-tested, ranked from worst to best.
7. Katie Lowes' S'mOreos

The idea combines two nostalgic favorites—s’mores and cookies—into one easy dessert: S'mOreos. With marshmallow and chocolate sandwiched between Oreo cookies, this recipe is a simple way to change up the traditional campfire treat.
What we liked most was the size. Unlike a traditional s'more, which can be a little filling and a lot messy, these are perfectly bite-sized, making them easy to serve at parties or enjoy as a quick treat. The finished dessert lands somewhere between an upgraded s'more and an Oreo on steroids. While it doesn't completely replace the campfire classic, it's a fun twist that Oreo lovers will happily devour.
6. Simone Biles' S’mores Cookies

The finished cookies deliver exactly what they promise: s'mores flavors reimagined in cookie form. They're big, messy and unapologetically sweet—much like the classic campfire treat that inspired them. Every bite is packed with gooey marshmallow, melty chocolate and crunchy graham crackers, making them a fun option for anyone who loves an over-the-top dessert.
That said, we thought the recipe could benefit from a little more balance. Swapping some or all of the milk chocolate for dark or semisweet chocolate would help cut through the sweetness and let the other flavors shine a bit more. As written, they're a decadent treat that's sure to satisfy anyone with a serious sweet tooth, but a touch of bittersweet chocolate could take them from the silver podium to the gold.
5. Ree Drummond's Grilled Sheet Pan S’mores

Ree Drummond's Grilled Sheet Pan S'mores are a great option when you're feeding a crowd but don't have a campfire. The sheet pan method captures the nostalgic flavors of a traditional s'more while making it easy to serve a backyard full of guests all at once.
If you're a fan of over-the-top sweets, this recipe absolutely delivers. Just be sure to have a tall glass of cold milk at the ready. You're probably going to need it.

4. Tiffani Thiessen's S'mores in a Jar

The recipe takes inspiration from the popular dessert-in-a-jar trend, combining layers of chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker flavors into a portable treat. It’s a fun option for parties, picnics or anytime you want the flavor of s’mores without the mess.
The graham cracker-infused pudding creates a satisfying texture that gives the dessert the familiar flavor of a classic s'more, while the toasted marshmallow topping adds the finishing touch. Each spoonful delivers the chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker combination that makes the original so nostalgic—just in a slightly more polished package.
3. Valerie Bertinelli's Chocolate Peanut Butter S’mores Bars

The peanut butter pairs beautifully with the chocolate and marshmallow, creating a sweet, crumbly dessert that's incredibly satisfying without straying too far from the original inspiration. These bars barely had a chance to cool before everyone was reaching for another piece, which is probably the highest compliment any dessert can receive.
They're also surprisingly simple to make. The bars come together quickly, bake in a single pan, and are easy to slice and serve, making them an excellent choice for your next barbecue, cookout or tailgate. If you're looking for a crowd-pleasing dessert that's a little less messy than traditional s'mores, this recipe is hard to beat.
2. Martha Stewart's S'mores Mousse

The best way to describe it? It's like taking s'mores out of the campground and serving them in a Michelin-starred dining room. The mousse is sweet, rich, creamy and absolutely gorgeous, making it a dessert that's perfect for dinner parties or anytime you want to impress your guests.
Flavor-wise, this recipe knocks it out of the park. The only reason it didn't take the top spot in our rankings is the amount of time and effort it requires. Compared with the other recipes we tested, it's one of the more time-consuming and challenging desserts to make, and it's easily the least kid-friendly of the bunch, which feels a little ironic for a dessert that's so closely tied to childhood campfire memories. If you're willing to put in the extra work, though, you'll be rewarded with one of the most sophisticated s'mores-inspired desserts we tried.
The Winning S’mores Recipe (And Why It Stole the Show)

1. Trisha Yearwood's PB&J S’mores
The caramelized strawberries are what make this recipe stand out. Their bright, slightly tangy flavor cuts through the sweetness of the chocolate and marshmallow, while the peanut butter adds a rich, salty element that ties everything together. The result is a s'more that feels a little more sophisticated than the traditional campfire version, while still keeping all the fun and nostalgia of the original.
Of all the recipes we tested, this was the clear winner. It was creative, balanced and something we’d happily make again—not just for a special occasion, but every time we're around a fire.
Tips for Making the Perfect S’more at Home (No Campfire Needed)

You don’t need a campsite to enjoy a great s’more. With a few simple tricks, you can make a delicious version right in your kitchen.
1. Toast your marshmallows carefully.

If you’re using an oven, broiler or kitchen torch, keep a close eye on your marshmallows when you're toasting them. The goal is a golden, toasted exterior with a soft, melted center—not a flaming marshmallow torch, especially not in the house.
2. Use quality chocolate.

Since chocolate is one of the main flavors in a s’more, choosing a good-quality bar can make a noticeable difference. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate and flavored varieties can all create different results and have different melting points. Pay attention to the thickness as well. The goal is to make it melty and gooey, not crunchy or crumbly.
3. Don’t skip the texture.

The best s’mores have contrast: crisp graham crackers, creamy chocolate and fluffy marshmallow. If one element overwhelms the others, the dessert can feel unbalanced.
4. Try unexpected toppings.
