Our Deepest, Darkest S’more is Salty, Seductive & Anything but Ordinary
This s’more is tall, dark, and handsome—except actually very squat. A tall drink of water, but crispy, salty, and in no way hydrating.
It’s a Burnt Cinnamon Toast & Chocolate S'more, and takes all you know about a s’more and makes it more—the most—seductive:
Trade sturdy graham crackers for soft cinnamon swirl bread that you’ve charred to a deep golden brown (or burnt, if you really live on the wild side).
Your classic Hershey’s can sit this one out. Go for dark chocolate.
Sprinkle that dark chocolate with flaky salt.
And while we’re at it, the marshmallows should be chocolate, too: store-bought or homemade.
Why—you ask—why should you do this to your s’more? It’s what we imagined when we thought about our truest, deepest, darkest desire for a s’more: burnt intentionally, and all over. Salt, spice, and chocolate screaming. And, frankly, just more s’more: Using bread instead of crackers turns an amuse-bouche of a dessert into a spectacle.

There’s a lot of ways a s’more can go—we went here. Friends at some other sites are dreaming up their best s’mores; check back on Friday for all the contenders in our s’mores-off. You can crown the winning s’more on Facebook Live! A home court advantage better be in play.
