It’s s’more the merrier, so we would add Nassau Candy’s milk chocolate covered vanilla marshmallows and dark chocolate covered vanilla marshmallows to the assortment. Raise the bar with specialty chocolate bars packed with all the s’mores flavors. We love Chuao Oh My S’mores, AmuseMints Cuddly S’mores Emotion bar, Annabelle Rocky Road S’mores Bar, and 5150 Chocolate Company Dark Chocolate S’mOreo Bar.

We also love Gilliam S’Mores Sticks, Rocket Fizz S’Mores Soda, and Jelly Belly S’Mores Jelly Beans. In fact, we love S’Mores so much, we have a whole page full of delectable S’Mores flavor goodies.

Get Toasted with Hot Cocoa

Outdoorsy and S’moresy Retreat
There’s more than one way to get cozy by the campfire. Chocolate makes everything better. Snuggling up with a cup of hot chocolate, brimming with melty, airy marshmallows is a hot idea any time of year. An emerging trend (which we think has lots of staying power) has been da bomb on social media lately – hot cocoa bombs. For those who haven’t been mesmerized by the videos blowing up their socials yet, hot cocoa bombs are rich chocolate orbs filled with cocoa toppings like mini marshmallows that melt and burst when dunked into a mug of hot milk. Hot cocoa bombs blow the ordinary cocoa experience right out of the water (or milk). That’s why a bombshell like Clever Candy Hot Chocolate Drink Bomb won’t stay on your shelves for long.
