Weeknight Dessert Raspberry S’mores
Raspberry S’mores are a fruity twist to a traditional s’more recipe. This version is made indoors for a quick weeknight dessert that can be enjoyed all year long.
During the summer months one of my families favorite activities is to make s’mores! I mostly have the kids in mind when I get the ingredients together because I know that they have a blast sticking the marshmallows in the fire getting them nice and toasty! That gooey marshmallow squished between graham crackers and a piece of milk chocolate is simply delightful!
Have you noticed how patient and anxious the adults are when as they watch the kids create their S’mores? It’s obvious to me that they also can’t wait for a chance to spear a marshmallow too! It’s like everyone’s childhood memory gets relived in that moment!
S’mores aren’t just for kids! Anytime can be a S’mores Day, right?! That’s what I thought when I passed by a display at Walmart that was stocked with Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bars, Honey Maid Graham Cracker Squares, and Kraft’s Jet Puffed Marshmallows all conveniently in one section! I grabbed the ingredients and decided to add one of my favorite fruits to the mix – fresh raspberries!
Traditional S’mores with a tasty raspberry twist was on the agenda and there is one other difference from what you might be used to when making S’mores. Instead of gathering wood for an outdoor fire we created an indoor S’mores bar for a Friday night treat!
That’s right! Alan and I shared these Raspberry S’mores with another couple in the comfort of our home! First, I opened all the packages and placed them on a tray so that we could move all the ingredients together when we were ready to assemble our treats, and then I got out the kabob spears and each of us laced our spear with marshmallows. That’s when the fun started! We stood over my gas stovetop and toasting our marshmallows to our own perfection! I wanted mine slightly charred so that the inside of the marshmallow would be super gooey.
For an extra splash or raspberry flavor I melted two Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars in and stirred in one teaspoon of raspberry jam. that’s what the little dollop you see anchoring the raspberry on top of the S’more. Once the marshmallows were toasted we layered the ingredients between two Honey Maid Graham Cracker Square and pressing the ingredients together for one delicious weeknight dessert!
These S’mores were so fun to make! What would you add to a S’mores dessert made specially for adults?

I love quick and easy desserts – and s’mores ranks right up there! Thanks for the idea of incorporating raspberries in s’mores. That sounds delicious! #client
What a fun twist on smores…I love chocolate and raspberries.
Yum, I love this twist on the classic! Pinning!
Thank you, Jillian! I appreciate you spreading the love!
Just give me graham crackers and marshmallows and I am a happy girl!
Simple and delicious! Gotta love that 🙂
I love that you add raspberries! Yum! I want this every day of the week.
Treat yourself, Rachael! You deserve an extra special treat!
Yum! My kids will love this. Smores, raspberries and of course chocolate… perfect!
Definitely kid approved S’mores!
That looks delicious. I want to make this for my family.
S’mores are a family favorite dessert! I think they’ll love this as much as we do!
Ooh I like the idea of adding fresh fruit – raspberries are so full of flavour and with chocolate, even better.
Right?! Up the flavor just a tad 😉
I would have never thought of adding raspberries, or any fruit for that matter, to smores. That is a really tasty idea.
Traditional S’mores are fantastic! It’s fun to come up with something just a little different.
I haven’t tried s’mores with raspberries. This is going to be so much fun to make and eat.
It is fun to make and tastes so good together, Rini!
I love that you made these with raspberries! Especially adding the raspberries in the chocolate for the top! Great post!
An extra little taste of raspberry chocolate of the S’more makes it even more special 🙂
Love that you kicked up the nutrition a smidge with the berries. But I’d have a hard time making a s’more, I’d be eating all the chocolate and berries.
I know what you mean, but when you smooth all the ingredients together it tastes amazing!
S’mores are not just for kids! I love trying new S’more creations and this one looks fun with a hint of summer in there. Thanks!
I couldn’t agree more, Brandy! We need to get in on the tasty fun too 😉
Yum, these look amazing. I absolutely love the addition of the raspberries. I’m sure their freshness can help cut through the sugar in the marshmallows and milk chocolate which can sometimes come off as cloyingly sweet.
Raspeberry is a great addition. Last summer we spent tons of time making s’mores and variations, can’t wait to start w/ this one.
It seems like making S’mores is mostly a summer time activity doesn’t it? So fun and such great memories when you make S’mores!
this makes me feel like a kid
Kid at heart with a grown up sweet tooth 🙂
Oooo…I love the addition of raspberries! Nice twist!
Thank you, Renee! Chocolate and raspberries are SOOO good together!
