Make Gourmet Elvis S’Mores as a Weeknight Dessert

There's a trend to make everything gourmet and why not? We recently went to a waffle restaurant that had an “Elvis Waffle Sandwich” on the menu. I thought it was amazingly delicious. So when the kids started asking for us to make s'mores around the firepit in our new patio area, I wanted it to be extra special. During the summer we've started a tradition of gathering in our backyard for after-dinner relaxation. S'mores make a great weeknight dessert and are a great way to connect with one another in the summer evenings. Why not have a s'mores party and invite the neighbors over too? We decided to make an Elvis S'mores “bar” where everyone could create their own custom take on s'mores using Elvis inspired ingredients.

The best s'mores start with great ingredients. We chose Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars, Honey Maid Graham Cracker Squares, and Kraft's Jet Puffed Marshmallows as the base for creating this s'mores recipe. You can find all of these ingredients at your local Walmart stores. We found this display in the seasonal section of our Hesperia, CA Walmart store near all of the summer fun, pool, and beach gear:

We also added some additional ingredients, including bacon, peanut butter, and bananas. Everyone knows Elvis loved peanut butter and bananas and well, the bacon, that just adds a savory salty kick that is incredibly delicious.

Ingredients to make Elvis S'mores

Unwrap the Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars, Honey Maid Graham Cracker Squares, and Kraft's Jet Puffed Marshmallows and place onto a tray.

Cook the bacon thoroughly and cut it into 3″ long strips. Drain well. Slice the banana into 3″ long sections. Place the bananas and bacon on the tray. Then slice each section into thin slices. Add a dollop of peanut butter to the tray with a small spread knife.

Start a wood burning fire in a firepit, taking care to observe proper fire safety guidelines.

While the wood is turning into coals, you can enjoy the outdoors and have a little conversation with the neighbors and family. Never leave an open fire unattended. There are other ways to enjoy s'mores without a wood burning fire, such as using charcoal in a barbecue grill or over the stove indoors. Just choose the way that works best for your family.Let the wood burn in the fire pit until it is coals for SMORES - JPriest

Once the coals are ready, it's s'mores time! Spread a thin layer of peanut butter onto one side of each Honey Maid Graham Cracker Square. Place banana slices on one of the Honey Maid Graham Cracker Squares to prepare the Honey Maid Graham Cracker Square for the marshmallows.

We created a handy dandy video sharing how to make this Elvis S'mores recipe and how to get perfectly toasted marshmallows. Check it out here:

Our tips for perfectly toasted marshmallows:

  • Use two Kraft's Jet Puffed Marshmallows per s'more.
  • Hold the s'more fork parallel with the ground. If you hold the fork from up high and hang the marshmallows into the fire, they may slide off the fork when they start melting.
  • Keep the marshamllows out of the flame – they will toast to a light brown rather than lighting on fire and becoming blackened. Unless you like blackened marshmallows…

Once the marshmallow is toasted, place it onto the Honey Maid Graham Cracker Square with the bananas on it. Press the marshmallows down with a section of Hershey's Milk Chocolate and slide the fork out from the marshmallows.

Lay two pieces of cooked bacon on top of the Hershey's Milk Chocolate and place the second peanut buttered Honey Maid Graham Cracker Square on top, gently squeezing the layers together to complete the Elvis S'more.
