Everyone knows the classic s'mores: graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate gooeyness. It's the quintessential summer treat! In fact, Google searches for "s'mores" tips, tricks, and recipes spike during this time of year — presumably because it's camping season, and what goes better with camping than s'mores? Fortunately, TikTok comes through once again with fresh twists on this popular dessert snack. From portable s'mores to adding unexpected ingredients (yes, including deep-fried s'mores), you'll have a s'more for every occasion.

Camp the night away with a few s'more recipes in your back pocket and a crackling bonfire. Alternatively, you can make these delicious treats from the comfort of your home. That way, you can beat the summer heat and test which hack will be your family's favorite. By night's end, you'll have enough to satisfy any sugar craving for the summer.

Keep reading for a list of must-do methods and recipes that will leave you thinking, Why haven't I tried this before?
