• Chocolate Bars: Use your favorite chocolate—dark, milk, or even white chocolate works wonders.

Let’s Make it together

**Gather Your Tools**: Grab some graham cracker sheets, skewers for roasting marshmallows, a sharp knife for slicing bacon if needed, and your favorite heat source.

**Prepare Your Bacon**: Cook the bacon strips until crispy in a skillet over medium heat. Drain on paper towels and let cool slightly before cutting them into smaller pieces.

**Melt Those Marshmallows**: Skewer your marshmallows and toast them over an open flame or under a broiler until they turn golden brown and gooey. Keep an eye out; they can go from perfect to charred in seconds!

**Assemble Your S’mores**: On one half of a graham cracker, spread peanut butter generously. Layer crispy bacon pieces followed by chocolate squares and finally top with the toasted marshmallow.

**Finish it Off**: Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top for that extra pop! Cap it off with another graham cracker half and gently press down to combine all those glorious flavors.

**Serve Warm**: Allow them to cool slightly before serving; enjoy these tasty treats warm so everything remains melty!

These savory s’mores are not just for kids—they’re fun for adults too! Whether you’re hosting a party or just indulging yourself during a Netflix binge, these morsels will bring out your inner child while satisfying your gourmet cravings. Plus, who doesn’t love playing with fire?

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by toasting your marshmallows over an open flame until golden brown, then layer them with savory ingredients like bacon and cheese on graham crackers.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add jalapeños for a spicy kick. You can even swap out traditional chocolate for caramel or peanut butter for a unique flavor experience.

Storing & Reheating

Savory s’mores are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days. Reheat in the microwave briefly, just until warm.

Sharing my first experience making savory s’mores, I remember my friends’ surprised faces as they devoured each bite, proving that sometimes, daring to be different pays off deliciously.
