I wanted to display my ingredients in cute little bowls, but then I remembered that I live in Iowa….along with the bugs, flies, gnats, mosquitoes, and spiders!! So I opted to purchase these awesome plastic canisters with sealing lids to keep the critters out!
Next, I made my Homemade Peanut Butter and sliced the strawberries.
How to make an Outdoor S’mores Bar
Place all of your ingredients into separate canisters or directly on a serving tray.
If using a fire pit, light a stack of wood on fire.
Stick your marshmallows onto your long skewers, and start roasting.
As you can see, I like mine charred! Now stack your chocolate on a graham cracker square, topped with your roasted marshmallow, and top it off with a second graham cracker with peanut butter spread on top.
O – M – G – they are delicious!!
For PB&J S’mores, add the sliced strawberries to take your S’mores to a whole new level of deliciousness.
If it’s too hot, or raining outside don’t worry, you don’t always need a campfire to make S’mores. In fact, I had to make new ones for the above image ^^^. Simply skewer your marshmallows and use the flame on your gas stove just as you would with a campfire.
More S’mores options
- Use chocolate or cinnamon graham crackers
- Try dark chocolate in place of the milk chocolate
- Get fancy and use Ghirardelli chocolate squares or peanut butter cups
- Use Fudge Stripe Cookies in place of the graham crackers
- Add chocolate-hazelnut spread, almond, or macadamia nut butter

Outdoor S’mores Bar
Ingredients
- 8 large marshmallows
- 8 whole graham crackers broken into squares
- 4 chocolate bars broken in half to make squares
- 8 tablespoons peanut butter more or less
- sliced strawberries about two per s'more
Instructions
- Place all of your ingredients into separate canisters or directly on a serving tray.
- If using a fire pit, light a stack of wood on fire.
- Slide a marshmallow onto a skewer and place over an open flame. Carefully turn the marshmallow over the heat for 1 to 2 minutes until the marshmallow begins to puff and turn brown, or to your desired doneness. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows.
- Place each piece of chocolate onto one graham cracker square. Spread peanut butter over the other graham cracker squares. Carefully place the roasted marshmallow in between the two graham crackers. Press down on both sides to squish the marshmallow down and remove the roasting stick.
- If using sliced strawberries, place them on top of the chocolate bar before adding the marshmallow.
Notes
- If it’s too hot, or raining outside don’t worry, you don’t always need a campfire to make S’mores. Simply skewer your marshmallows and use the flame on your gas stove just as you would with a campfire.

I used to love making my own peanut butter as a kid! I had a little peanut shaped grinder I guess you’d call it. I wish I had it for my kids to try it out.
Oh how cute, that sounds like fun! I wish I had one. 🙂
Love how you used fresh made peanut butter! Such a good idea. I bet it tasted amazing!
Thank you so much Shana, the peanut butter definitely made them special!
Oh I would love to try that, it looks really, really gooey and delicious! Pinning!
Thank you so much Kim, they are very gooey…and delicious…and messy! 🙂
We have had a fire pit outside now for almost two years, and we have never used it. These just may be the motivation to get it going! These look absolutely DELICIOUS!
Thank you so much Kelli. We only use ours a couple of time each year to make s’mores, LOL
