August 10th is National S’mores Day, and here in Indiana we’ve got perfect campfire weather on the horizon.
Wherever you are in the country, and whatever weather you’re having, we’ve got a way for you to celebrate National S’mores Day with a few special takes on S’mores using Stroopwafels!
The Time-Crunch Friendly Dessert: S’mores Dip
S’mores dip is every procrastinator or busy host’s delight.
It looks amazing and takes only 9 minutes to whip up. All you need is chocolate, marshmallows, and a small, cast iron skillet.
Follow Cookie Named Desire’s recipe, cut your stroopwafels into halves or fourths, and dive right in!
A Healthier Twist To Go: Strawberry S’mores
This is a perfect treat to take on-the-go.
So, if you’re not the one hosting, whip up a batch of Strawberry S’mores and surprise your family and friends with a slightly less sweet and healthier version of the S’more!
You can follow this recipe from The Domestic Rebel, but swap graham cracker crumbs for No Bake Stroopwafel Pie Crust.
The Party Centerpiece: S’mores Board
You can create a stunning centerpiece without a bit of baking. Just build your own s’mores board!
Like a charcuterie board, s’mores boards let guests get creative and build their own desserts. As a host, you can scale this dessert up or down with whatever quantity of items fits the occasion. Just make sure marshmallows, chocolate, and stroopwafels are all present on the board so it’s truly about s’mores.

The Classic S’more (With Stroopwafels of Course!)
At the end of the day, s’mores day is about s’mores, and there’s nothing wrong with sticking to the traditional treat (it’s good enough to have a holiday, after all).
Simply using stroopwafels as your s’more base gives your s’more an elevated taste and texture your friends and family will talk about.
