Smores Dessert Shooters

Ready for a very special dessert - try a Smore Dessert Shooter!

It doesn't have to be a summer evening to sit beside a campfire and serve up some delicious Smores Dessert Shooters. Less messy than their traditional counterparts, Smore Dessert Shooters are just right to follow a filling meal of hotdogs and hamburgers.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Dessert Shooter craze, these desserts are served in smaller sized glasses, usually from 2 ounces to 5 ounces and are just right to satisfy even the toughest sweet tooth after a filling dinner.

Unlike traditional S'mores which are handheld, I'm going to teach you how to create this delicious dessert in a different presentation - they're mini desserts served in smaller glasses (4 ounces or so) or, for the tiniest mini desserts, serve these delicious dessert shooters in shot glasses. But, beware, your diners might want 'smore.'

Come visit my new website DessertShooters.com.

S'mores are more special with specialty marshmallows

I found some of these gourmet marshmallows at a local store here in Maryland and picked them up for my elderly mother. She loved the things - there's none left for smore dessert shooters, but I did manage to make one from them.

Now that you've decided to up the S'more game with gourmet marshmallows

Grab some gourmet chocolates

I personally love Hershey's chocolate bars for S'mores but there are some really good chocolate bars on the market that would be delightful in S'more dessert shooters too. Here's a few I've found:


My favorite - Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar


Chocolove Premium Chocolate Bars, Belgian Chocolate, Strong Dark


Ghirardelli Five Pound Chocolate Bar

These dessert shooter glasses are just right for Smore Dessert Shooters

Note: do not use plastic dessert shooter glasses for these desserts as they will melt when you toast the marshmallows! Glass dessert shooter containers only!

    Sitting around roasting marshmallows (because smores just aren't quite right unless the marshmallows are roasted)... Blessed!
