Amped Up S’mores
These Amped Up S’mores are gooey, messy, and toasted to perfection! They’re way better than the original too, because these are made with Nutella and salted pretzels!

If you know me at all, you know that I love chocolate! Any type of treat that has a great chocolate combo (Chocolate-caramel, chocolate-peanut butter, chocolate-chocolate chunks, etc.) is where it’s at for me. I rarely ever say no to it. Can you blame me though?!?
So a chocolaty snack that I love to indulge in at times is graham crackers smeared with Nutella. It is so simple, but SO amazing! The Nutella is sweet, thick and has a taste like nothing else. I love it so much; I sometimes eat it with just a spoon. 😉

And since this snack is a favorite of mine, I’ve wondered, “How can I elevate this into a more fun dessert?” In walks this fun, Amped Up S’mores goodness! They’re like the grown up version of the S’mores you had as a kid, but WAY better.
Chocolaty, crunchy, sweet, salty and marshmallowy — all in one bite! This fun dessert checks all the boxes. Everyone will love it, but chances are you won’t want to share, hehe!
Ingredient Notes For These Amped Up S’mores:
- Chocolate – Besides Nutella, I list two additional chocolate options below. Each one is good. However, you have to keep a couple things in mind when making your decision on this ingredient.
- Nutella – This has a rich, decadent flavor but includes dairy.
- Nutiva – This also has a rich decadent flavor, but comes with the added benefit that it is vegan. It has the same texture as Nutella.
- Justin’s – This product is delicious, but doesn’t produce as much of a decadent result as the other two. Personally, I just feel it’s not as rich and deep in flavor. It is also dairy-free.
