Dress simple s’mores in team colors with sugar sprinkles.

These sweet treats are a riff on the popular summer campfire s’mores. If you love marshmallow and chocolate and get nostalgic when you think of campfire s’mores, these simpler “no-bake” Game Day S’mores will delight you.

The s’mores are easy to make, appeal to kids of all ages and are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. There is no baking or fire-roasting, so you can make these indoors and they are safe for even young children to make. I make these often for events because I can make them ahead of time and store them in the freezer. Some people even prefer eating them when they are still frozen.

You need a package of graham crackers, Nutella, Marshmallow Fluff and raspberry, strawberry or grape jelly. The best thing is that they are customizable — you could add peanut butter and/or any other spread that you like.

If you want the s’mores to look a little more finished — and I always do — dip the sticky sides in sugar sprinkles that match your favorite team colors for a perfect Super Bowl presentation, or shaved chocolate and nuts for a more sophisticated look.

For parties, I like to set out the graham crackers and spreads and add a few options like sliced banana, crumbled bacon, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, colorful sprinkles and lots of different jellies — the sky and your friends and family’s imaginations are the limit! Give everyone a (plastic) knife and let them make their own s’mores.

Game Day S’mores

  • 1/2 (14.4 ounce) box graham crackers
  • Nutella
  • Raspberry jelly, or jelly of choice, preferably no sugar added
  • Marshmallow Fluff
  • Sprinkles in your team’s colors
  • Chopped nuts
  • Miniature chocolate chips, miniature M&M’s etc.

Break a graham cracker in half at the perforation.

Spread Nutella on one cracker half and two spoonfuls of Marshmallow Fluff on the other half. Spread a thin layer of jelly over the Nutella.

Press halves together to seal the filling.

For a fun and finished presentation, dip the sticky edges of each s’more in sprinkles, nuts or chocolate chips. Makes 20 s’mores.
