How to Make Kids Smores Treat Bags

Get the taste of s'mores without the mess and hassle of a fire pit.

S'mores is a time-tested snack that kids and adults adore. However, s'mores are typically served when marshmallows are roasted around campfires. With these recipes, you can bring this sticky concoction to the table anytime of year and without the hassle and heat of a fire pit. Mix the ingredients used for s'mores in a plastic bag and hand these out during sleepovers, for birthday parties or on movie night. Children would also enjoy having s'mores treats included in their lunch boxes for school.

Things You'll Need

• 6 cups bear-shaped graham cracker cookies
• 6 cups miniature marshmallows in assorted colors
• Large mixing bowl
• 18 miniature milk chocolate bars
• 24 plastic bags with zippered tops
• 12 cinnamon graham crackers
• Heavy glass or rolling pin
• 12 tbsp. marshmallow cream
• Chocolate syrup
• Scissors
• 6 cups gingerbread men marshmallows (optional)

Instructions

S'mores Snack Mix

1. Pour 6 cups of bear-shaped graham cracker cookies and 6 cups of miniature marshmallows in assorted colors into a large mixing bowl and stir to combine the ingredients.

2. Chop 18 miniature milk chocolate bars into chunks, approximately 1/2 an inch square, toss them into the bowl and mix well.

3. Divide the mixture into 12 plastic bags with zippered tops, seal the treat bags and deliver to the children.

Squeezable Version of S'mores

1. Drop a cinnamon graham cracker into a plastic bag with a zipper top. Repeat with 11 more bags. Seal each bag and roll a heavy glass or rolling pin over the crackers to turn the crackers into crumbs. Shake the crumbs to the bottom of the bag and open each bag.

2. Spoon out 1 tbsp. of marshmallow crème into each bag so that the crème is near the bottom of the bag to prevent the sticky ingredient from getting in the zipper on the bag.

3. Squirt approximately 2 tbsp. of chocolate syrup into each bag and seal the bags.

4. Give the treat bags out to 12 children and have the children squish the mixture into itself.

5. Cut a corner out of each bag so the children can squirt the squeezable s'mores into their mouths.

Tips & Warnings

• Replace the miniature marshmallows with 6 cups of gingerbread men marshmallows, if available at your grocery, for a zing of flavor and the interesting shape of the marshmallows.
