Last weekend we toasted marshmallows up the canyon, but we only had chocolate chips for our S’mores. We’d never used chocolate chips before, so it was a new experience. Jordan and I ended up having ourselves a friendly competition to make the perfect S’more. Since we both think our own method is the most clever, I need your help to decide the winner! So I’m presenting both of our Chocolate Chip S’mores and you tell me which one you think is best!
Supplies for S’more Surprise:
- large marshmallows
- chocolate chips
- campfire skewer
- graham crackers – optional
Marie’s Method:
First, make 2-4 holes into the sides of your large marshmallow with the campfire skewer (for adult use only, please be careful if these are hot or have been near the fire.) Now push one chocolate chip into each hole made previously by the skewer (again carefully if your skewers are hot). Then place your marshmallow all the way onto the campfire skewer, from top to bottom, avoiding the holes you just made.
Roast your chocolate chip filled marshmallow over the fire, until toasted to your liking.
I like to add it between 2 sections of a graham cracker. Perfection!
Jordan’s Method:
Toast your marshmallow until just golden on all sides. Go slow, these things take time.
Then carefully slide the marshmallow off the skewer and into the palm of your hand. Now proceed to insert as many chocolate chip into the hole left from the skewer. Keep filling with chocolate chips until it’s almost over flowing. Now devour, no graham cracker necessary.
Either way, using chocolate chips was a lot of fun. But now it’s time to vote! Jordan’s is about maximum chocolate intake! Mine is about being cute and crafty! Which do you prefer?

I love your method Marie, you get my vote. The gooier the better! I wish I had saw tthis post before we went camping this weekend!
Well I am usually all about the chocolate intake as well, however it is not a true s’more without the graham cracker! My vote goes to you! Although they both sound yummo!
We made smores this weekend too-have to try it with chocolate chips. I vote for your method, I like my chocolate melty and gooey.
I would have to say I would have to go with your way. I have to have the graham cracker in there and I love idea of the chips melting with the mashmallow. Either way they both look very good and I am now wishing I had a wood burning pit of somesort to make this come true.
I’d have to go with the hubby’s way. I sometimes make a treat when the kids are in bed over the stove top, and that is how I do it. Yummmm.
I vote for efficiency and maximum chocolate intake. Though I would probably still mush ‘em in between graham crackers.
I’m splitting my vote. The graham crackers are a must. I would vote for you if you could load 6 or 8 chocolate chips in before toasting it. I would have to cook it your husband’s way but sandwich it between two crackers before eating it.
You have to the have the graham. No doubt about it.
wow I’m very impressed by all this chocolate chip stuffing. But I have to go with Marie! Sorry Jordan!
Graham cracker needed for sure. I like my chocolate ooey-gooey too. So i like the stuffing before the roasting.
Sorry Jordan.
YUM. I have never thought about making them like that. I love the graham cracker crunch though, so I vote g.c. method.
Please!!! My method is soooo much better! I think this vote is totally rigged :)
Eat them with reeses peanut butter cups and you won’t eat them with plain chocolate ever again anyway. :)
One of my husband’s favorite snacks is a PB Mallow. Saltine crackers with a bit of peanut butter and a marshmallow.
Too bad I didn’t have this idea last weekend. We made s’mores also. This will be a good one to try next time though. Thanks for the idea.
Oh goodness gracious that looks divine! I am going to go roast some over my stove. ;)
Jordan – You’re goin’ down!!
Christie – oh my! A Reeses sounds way better than both of these. I have used a Kit Kat and that’s really good too!
I love the idea of using choc chips. Since I like the graham cracker…I have to vote your way! I think just the marshmallow and chips would be too sweet for me.
No disrespect to Jordan, but method number one(yours) is definitely the way to go. No hot hand–won’t take too long for the marshmallow cooking, and finally, to me it’s not a s’more without the graham cracker:).
Sorry, Jordan, I’m with Marie!
Us girls need to stick together…I’m totally with Marie! A s’more just isn’t a s’more without the graham, man! These are also tasty treats in the microwave. My kids have perfected them…put 1 large marshmallow on 1/2 graham cracker, put in microwave for 10 seconds or so (the kids love watching them get big), top with chocolste and another 1/2 graham cracker and you’ve got one quick & easy sweet treat! The warm marshmallow melts the chocolate just right! I think I need to buy some s’mores fixins pronto!!!
Definitely Marie’s method! Need the graham cracker! And who doesn’t love cute and crafty!?!? :)
It’s not a s’more without the graham crackers. That being said, I will vote for your husband’s low-carb s’more, because a chocolate filled marshmallow sounds great! I wished we had this idea when camping this weekend and made the traditional treat.
Sorry Jordan, Marie also gets my vote. The perfect smore has melty chocolate. And with my luck, I would burn my hand with the hot marshmellow. When I have chocolate bars, I place the chocolate on one graham cracker and place near fire to melt for perfect gooeyness.
Marie – my mouth is watering. Either way sounds delish to me! I shared your idea (and linked to you) on my coupon blog since we just had a great sale on all the S’mores goodness last week! Although I was out of town and missed it. Seriously considering going to the store and purchasing stuff anyway! Thanks for sharing your FAB idea!
What a great idea. I’ll have to try that the next time we make s’mores.
Best Smores I’ve seen! What a great idea! Thanks Marie!
I’m afraid my son has helped me find a better “Marshmallow Sandwich” . Just put peanut butter on the cracker and then your chocolate chips won’t fall off and it’ll taste awesome. In fact, we just blogged our recipe!
I have to keep the crackers, so my vote is for that one!!
Why I don’t toast marshmallows? Impatience! Marie you totally win in my book!
Marie, Cute and crafty wins EVERY TIME! Plus, I think there is such a thing as too much chocolate on a s’more and the graham cracker is pretty much mandatory. Yum!
oh my gosh, might have to try this tonight–w/choc chip and reeses cups. yum!!
Why cute and crafty, of course! You have my vote! ;D
Great idea to put the chips inside the marshmellows!
Looks like I win!!! Sorry, Jordan. Better luck next time.
My friend and I are going to make something similar to this for our project.We looked at your pictures and our mouths were watering.We went to my house and we tried it and it was soooo… yummy!
I just came across this, and I would definitely vote with Jordan. The more chocolate – the better. But I would then put some (some I’d eat as is) of the filled marshmallows between graham crackers. Fun idea!
I am not a fan of graham crackers, so I have to go with Jordan on this one! MAXIMUM chocolate!! MMMMMM. Try that with a strawberry marshmallow … I bet that would be yummy too. : )
I can not wait to try making these. Thanks for the idea.
