Fire-Pit Party Ideas & New Twist Using S’mores
Gather Your Friends Around The Fire-pit This Weekend
I can’t believe that we are smack-dab in the middle of Summer. I wrote this blog post several years ago during the Fall season, but thought that it would also make a great Summer-time memory for families as well. Let’s go!
It’s time to grab your friends and have a s’mores party around the fire-pit! It’s just starting to cool off at night, so pull out those cozy blankets. You might as well just go ahead and plan this easy going fire-pit party with s’mores and your friends. It’s a simple, fun, and easy way to be sociable and the kids will LOVE it.
S’Mores Bar
Typically, S’mores is a combination of graham crackers, milk chocolate and cooked marshmallows, but but I have attached a few new twists! You will get inspired to make S’mores cookies or even create a bowl or basket full of the supplies for your guests to create their own special twist – A S’mores bar if you wish :).
- Set up a S’mores Bar! I just love this idea of setting up a S’mores Bar for your guests. You can add strawberries, Andes Mints, blueberries, bananas, Kit-Kat bars, white & dark chocolate bars, chocolate graham crackers – Tons of great combinations here. Super easy to fix up! Just display the food on white platters – nothing fancy.
