Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re anything like me, you’re probably on the lookout for fun ways to make this holiday special.
We will, of course, be making cards as usual, but I have been looking for something to make the day even more fun and came up with the idea of building Valentine’s Day s’mores. We live in campgrounds after all, and considering campfires are an almost nightly occurrence, special s’mores simply make sense as a fairly easy yet still exciting way to celebrate with those we love.
Wondering how in the world we plan to make these Valentine’s-themed s’mores? Check my top 4 ideas so far.
#1: Start With a Heart
To begin with, get your hands on some heart-shaped graham crackers. While these aren’t sold in stores as far as I can tell, you do have a few options for obtaining them. You can:
#2: Replace the Marshmallows
Of course, the marshmallow deserves a holiday replacement as well. This is where Peeps step in. Any of the Peeps-brand marshmallow hearts will work just fine, and they’ll give your s’mores a fun and festive red or pink color.
Of course, if you can’t seem to find Peeps locally and don’t want to order online, you could also use strawberry Jet-Puffed Marshmallows for similar effect without the fun shape.
#3: Mix Up the Chocolate
Chocolate tastes good no matter what kind of package it comes in, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with using a regular Hershey bar for your s’mores. However, when you can get that same classic taste in some adorable Valentine's Day packaging, why not go for it?
This super cute “XOXO” Hershey bar is perfect for sharing and could easily make several s’mores. Make sure to add one of these to your Valentine’s s’mores fun.
#4: Sprinkle on Some Love
Obviously, the three special ingredients above are plenty enough to make your Valentine’s bash memorable. However, every celebration is better with sprinkles, and that’s why you should definitely have some on hand to add to your delicious celebratory desserts. These sprinkles should do the trick quite nicely, and you may even have some left over for cupcakes later!
I hope this article gave you a few ideas. Have fun celebrating the holiday of love with those closest to you gathered around the campfire. Let me know how it goes in the comments below.

#1: Start With a Heart
To begin with, get your hands on some heart-shaped graham crackers. While these aren’t sold in stores as far as I can tell, you do have a few options for obtaining them. You can:
- Buy packaged graham crackers and cut out heart shapes by spritzing the cracker with a bit of water, sticking it in the microwave for 30 seconds, and using a heart shaped cookie cutter to get the size and shape you want.
- Make your own graham crackers using this recipe or one like it.
- Replace the graham crackers entirely with cookies like these.
#2: Replace the Marshmallows
Of course, the marshmallow deserves a holiday replacement as well. This is where Peeps step in. Any of the Peeps-brand marshmallow hearts will work just fine, and they’ll give your s’mores a fun and festive red or pink color.
