Introduction

As the leaves change colors and the weather gradually gets colder, I’m in the mood for some s’mores. What about you? Unfortunately, vegans like me usually aren’t able to make s’mores at bonfires and on camping trips because traditional s’more ingredients aren’t vegan.

Why aren’t s’mores usually vegan?

Regular marshmallows are made with gelatin, aka bone char. Gelatin isn’t vegan or vegetarian because you cannot retrieve gelatin without killing animals. If you want some vegan marshmallows, try Dandies marshmallows.
Hershey’s milk chocolate bars contain dairy. This isn’t vegan due to coming from milking cows. A vegan chocolate bar option is No Whey! Foods MILKLESS. Another option is one of Hershey’s new plant-based chocolate bars.
Many graham crackers aren’t vegan because some contain honey. Even though some vegans consider honey vegan, most believe that honey is not vegan because beekeeping harms bees. Try these vegan homemade graham crackers from Pies and Tacos.

If you’re in the mood for some s’mores, try these vegan s’more recipes today, including but not limited to the following.

S’mores Cupcakes
S’mores Pops
S’mores Bars
S’mores Rice Krispie Treats
S’mores Cookies

No Whey! Foods sell a vegan s’more kit seasonally. However, it isn’t that good. Learn more in my fall 2021 seasonal taste test.

1. S’mores Cupcakes

My cousin loves cupcakes. If you do too, try these s’mores cupcakes from Pies and Tacos.

You may like reading more about vegan cupcake recipes.

2. S’mores Pops

Who likes cake pops? Then, you may enjoy these s’mores pops from Allergylicious.

3. S’mores Bars

Cookie bars are excellent for tailgates, potlucks, and barbecues. Here are some s’mores bars from Purely Kaylie.

4. S’mores Rice Krispie Treats

When buying cereal as a vegan, watch out for vitamin D3 in your ingredient list because it is made out of lanolin (sheep wool). Many vegan and vegan-friendly bloggers consider Rice Krispie cereal vegan, even though it contains vitamin D3.

Instead, use Arrowhead Mills puffed rice cereal to make these s’mores Rice Krispie treats from Crowded Kitchen.

5. S’mores Cookies

Cookies are easy to make and pop in and out of the oven. Make some vegan s’mores cookies with the help of The Vegan Harvest.

For more cookie ideas, check out my vegan cookie blog post.

6. S’mores Cake

Most birthday parties end their meals with a tasty cake, which can be made vegan. For example, bake this vegan s’mores cake from The Banana Diaries.

I also have more vegan cake recipes to share with you.

7. Peanut Butter S'mores Bars

Most of my family loves peanut butter so much that they probably wouldn’t mind adding some to their s’mores. Try these peanut butter s’mores bars from Wholesome Crumbs.

8. Mini S’mores Cheesecakes

When I think of fancy desserts, cheesecake is always at the top of that list. Make some mini s’mores cheesecakes from The Almond Eater.

9. S’mores Donuts

I’m in the mood for some breakfast food. What about you? One idea is to make these s’mores donuts from Two Market Girls.

An even better idea is to read my vegan breakfast blog post.

10. S’mores Macarons

Don’t be mistaking macarons for macaroons. Macarons are sandwich cookies, while macaroons are coconut cookies made into balls.

Here are some s’mores macarons from The Little Blog of Vegan.

11. S’mores Ice Cream

You can have ice cream no matter the season. Try some s’mores ice cream from Make It Dairy Free.

If this recipe sounded familiar, it was also in my vegan ice cream blog post.

Chocolate chip cookies are so good. They would be even better as s’mores cookie cups, thanks to Feasting on Fruit.

13. S’mores Brownies

My mom usually makes boxed brownies for band potlucks and parties. Instead, I recommend baking some s’mores brownies from Healthy Little Vittles.

14. S’mores Tart

I never heard of tarts until I started looking up recipes on Pinterest. If you like them, try this s’mores tart from Crowded Kitchen.

15. S’mores Pie

I’m used to being surrounded by pies at holiday gatherings. One idea is to make this s’mores pie from The Baking Fairy.

For more ideas, check out my vegan pie blog post.

16. Vegan S’mores

I would be a horrible person if I talked eons about recipes that are s’more flavored without mentioning an actual vegan s’mores recipe. Here is how you make vegan s’mores from Zardyplants.

17. S’mores Bark

You can have bark more times of the year besides Christmastime. Try some s’mores bark from The First Mess.

18. S’mores Fudgesicles

My grandpa used to make the best fudge ever but never made it into fudgesicles. If that sounds good, make some s’mores fudgesicles with the help of Healthy Little Vittles.

Here are more vegan popsicle recipes.

19. S’mores Cinnamon Rolls

My cousin keeps asking when we will make the vegan pumpkin cinnamon roll recipe she loves again. I would instead make another flavor of cinnamon rolls with her, like these s’mores cinnamon rolls from Two Market Girls.

20. SunButter S’mores Dip

The last s’more recipe I have for you would be an excellent appetizer for your next get-together. Try some s’mores dip from Allergylicious.

Conclusion

S’mores are yummy and delicious and can also be made vegan. If this blog post sounded good, you might also like my past blog posts on burgers and graduation party ideas and my future blog posts on vegan tailgating ideas and pumpkins. Have a great bonfire.
