- Cookie and Cream Hershey bars | Add some cookie flavor to your dessert board.
- Strawberries | Clean and slice the fresh strawberries to be ready to grab and eat. Fresh strawberries work best.

How To Make a Dessert Charcuterie Board
(scroll to the bottom for the printable recipe card)
1 Prepare the cutting board: Prepare using a large cutting board or charcuterie board of your choice. You can use tea lights to roast your marshmallows or you can prepare the board and use a fire pit afterward.
2 Add the ingredients: Strategically place the ingredients on your board for the best look. If using tea lights, you can place them on the board as well. Cut your graham crackers in half and your chocolate bars in half so they can make a perfect square. Then, slice your strawberries into thin slices.
3 Arrange the charcuterie board: You can arrange the ingredients however you want on the board. Make sure to spread them out so whoever is eating them can see the ingredients. Pile the mini Reese’s peanut butter cups on top of one another to add height to your board. Enjoy!
Pro-Tips
- Avoid overcrowding a ton of ingredients. You need to have just enough to use, and you can always add more later.
- Ghirardelli Chocolate squares are the perfect size for a graham cracker square.
Recipe variations
- Add more fresh fruit, like apples, raspberries, blueberries, various bowls of dips, marshmallow fluff, or pretzels.
- Be creative with the chocolate by adding white chocolate bars, (I especially love the Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark,) caramel, Nutella, candy bars, and more.
- Instead of using graham crackers, use Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate graham crackers, or shortbread cookies.
No Campfire or fire pit?
S’mores are perfect for those cool evenings spent around the campfire or backyard fire pit. But don’t worry! If the weather is bad or you don’t have a campfire pit, you can have an indoor s’mores party using this fun Tabletop Electric S’mores Maker, baking the s’mores in the oven, or even tea light candles (just make sure they are unscented.)
Toasted marshmallows are delicious no matter how you make them!
FAQ’s
Can I Make Any Substitutions?
Of course! You can make this board exactly how you want. You can add cookie butter, dark chocolate, or giant or mini marshmallows. There are endless possibilities.
Can I Double This Recipe?
This recipe, as written up in the recipe card, serves about 10 – 12 smores. You can double it for a bigger crowd or lower it for a romantic dessert for two.
How Far in Advance Can I Put this Dessert Board Together?
Preparing a dessert charcuterie board, like a s’mores charcuterie board, for a gathering can be done up to 24 hours in advance. To keep it fresh, tightly cover the board with plastic wrap and refrigerate. This will ensure your tasty treats are ready and delicious for your guests to enjoy.
Do I Have To Heat Up The S’mores Ingredients To Eat Them?
Nope, not at all. Classic smores are toasted over a campfire, but the beauty of a S’mores Charcuterie board is you can have your s’mores however you wish. If you want to make your s’more sandwich with graham crackers or other cookies, using marshmallow fluff and dipping them in a bowl of chocolate, it is completely up to the s’more maker!
Can You Melt S’mores In The Microwave?
Yes, you can! I get it if you don’t want to mess with actual fire. You can easily make the s’more sandwich and heat it up in the microwave.
It’s pretty cool to see because the marshmallows poof up hugely and then fall! (I actually do this quite frequently when we have the ingredients on hand, and I am looking for a quick sweet treat. lol.)
