S’mores are classic in the summertime, and thankfully, an easy dessert that always seems to please a crowd. Toasty marshmallow and melted chocolate sandwiched between two graham crackers. But what if you could kick it up a notch? What if you added a Reese’s peanut butter cup? Better yet, what if you grill that peanut butter cup over the fire?

Now before you tell me that this is impossible because the chocolate will, in fact, melt, just wait. This clever trick makes it easy to get a toasted marshmallow and chocolate peanut butter goodness without too much of a mess over the open flame.

This hack comes from @onesweeetmama on Instagram. Instead of roasting a marshmallow and placing it on a cold peanut butter cup, she spears the side of the peanut butter cup with two long steel pokers and dips half of it in marshmallow fluff. She then holds it over the fire for a few seconds, just long enough for the marshmallow fluff to heat and melt. She then smooshes the warmed marshmallow peanut butter cup in between two square graham crackers, now melted from the fire, making for the perfectly grilled s’mores treat. 

S’mores (and peanut butter cup) lovers such as myself are absolutely loving this dangerously delicious trick and sharing their thoughts in the comments of this post. “That is amazing,” one foodie writes. “Doing this ASAP!” another writes. Even Hersheyland’s Instagram account commented on this post, saying “new method unlocked” with a heart-eye emoji. I certainly agree. It’s brilliant, and I will absolutely be testing out over the Fourth of July.

Not a fan of peanut butter cups? We have a feeling you’ll love trying out these campfire banana boat s’mores instead!
