Congratulations!
S’mores is one of my favorite flavor profiles. What’s not to love? Melty chocolate, gooey marshmallow, crunchy graham cracker. Mmm. You may remember the s’mores bars I made last fall… the thought of them still makes my mouth water! My friend, Susan, loves s’mores too — or she must anyway since she wrote an entire cookbook about them!
I’ve known Susan practically since I first started blogging. Our sons are only about 2 months apart and we’ve been following each others blogs and exchanging Christmas cards for years. This year, I attended BlogHer’13 and was thrilled to finally meet Susan in person — and attend her s’mores themed cookbook party at the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago.
Susan and I met for dinner before her party and it was nice to be able to chat in person. We both felt like we already knew each other (oh, the magic of blogging and email!) but it was nice to sit across the table from each other and have a real conversation as well.
We capped the evening off with s’mores martinis, s’mores dip (from the cookbook – delicious), and traditional s’mores. It was a s’mores lovers Mecca!
Susan has graciously offered to giveaway three copies of “The S’mores Cookbook” to three Five Wooden Spoons readers! Leave a comment letting me know about the last time you enjoyed a melty, gooey s’more! Follow the instructions in the rafflecopter below to earn more entries! Good luck!

I made these bars a few weeks ago when we were going to the Kilmartin’s to watch the Bears game. I’d originally planned to make cookies but there were three king size Hershey Bars sitting on our counter that one of our neighbors gave the kids for Halloween. I’ve religiously pinned every s’mores recipe that comes across my feed on Pinterest so I knew there would be a recipe there that would satisfy my love of s’mores and use the Hershey bars in one fell swoop.
I used this recipe from Sugar Cooking as the base recipe for my s’more bars with a few minor adjustments. My bars are extra marshmallowy and gooey due to extra marshmallow fluff and they definitely aren’t as beautiful as hers!
I really enjoyed these bars but I miss the roasted flavor of the marshmallow. I’m one of those people who likes their marshmallows blackened, so obviously these s’mores didn’t provide the cancer-causing carcinogens I was craving from blacked sugar molecules. However, the gooey factor is definitely there — and they are definitely ooey and messy. Yum!
