S’mores Board spread for Your Next Watch Party
Hi friends!
There is truly nothing better than getting together with friends, getting cozy on the couch, and then pressing play on a highly anticipated show! For me recently it’s been Dancing With the Stars, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and soon I will be watching the next season of The Bachelorette! Regardless of the show you are currently loving, one thing is just a non negotiable, the snacks! In this case it’s not just any snacks, it’s a s’mores type of charcuterie board.
I know that’s not exactly the correct term for it, charcuterie means meat and cheeses but this is still a delicious spread! This is the kind of board that feels indulgent, interactive, and just more fun while still being easy enough to throw together on a weeknight. Let’s get into it!
Happy Reading!
Why a S’mores Board Is Perfect for a Show Night
A s’mores board spread is ideal for watch parties because:
It’s interactive where everyone gets to builds their own thing as they want it!
It feels nostalgic but in an elevated kind of way
It’s delicious and it pairs perfectly with cozy vibes and dramatic TV moments!
It doubles as dessert and entertainment while giving everyone something to do during those commercial breaks, or more realistically, during those moments when you need to pause and discuss something insane that just happened on the show haha!
The Essentials
Classic S’mores must haves:
All of these classic s’mores ingredients will act as the anchors for your board and then you will build all of the fun extras around them!
Chocolate Options Everyone Will Love
This MIIIIGHT be where you might start to feel like your board is a little bit extra but this is also where you can choose options that your guests will love and it will feel more personalized to them!
Try adding:
so many Marshmallow options
Marshmallows don’t have to be boring and I have been really impressed with the options that I have been able to find!
Jumbo marshmallows for the brave
Mini marshmallows for people who don’t LOVE them and want more chocolate
Fun Extras That Make It Feel ….extra!
These aren’t required, but they definitely make the board stand out and more fun! You can scatter small bowls around the board to keep these mess free!
Pretzels, honestly the perfect sweet and salty combination
Nutella, peanut butter or caramel sauce for dipping your s’mores in!
How to Roast Indoors (No Campfire Needed!)
Since the whole inspiration of this board is to watch your favorite show, roasting these s’mores inside is the way to go! Here are some options:
Sterno flame (this is how I do it!)
I like the sterno flame option best because I can blow out the fire when we aren’t using it! I like to just put this at one end of the table so it stays safe!
Set the Scene for the Ultimate Watch Night
These are just a few extra things to set out or add to set the tone for the night!
Light a few candles or string lights for some cozy light!
Turn on your electric fireplace, we love doing this when people come over!
Put out cozy blankets so each person can cuddle up for the show
Set out napkins, I think it’s the law when it comes to s’mores because it will get messy!
Make sure that people have drinks to enjoy while they watch! You can serve these s’mores with wine, hot cocoa, or a fun themed cocktail!
I really feel like there is nothing better than getting together with friends and having a watch party! This board is something you can throw together and without a ton of prep work or putting it together it feels indulgent, elevated, and just more fun for your next get together!!A s’mores board spread seems like the ultimate get together upgrade with how customizable it is and somehow makes a simple watch party feel like a while event. Whether you’re watching reality TV drama unfold or cheering for roses to be handed out, this board guarantees one thing, everyone is going to have fun! As always with a board, there is no rhyme or reason for arranging it and you can do it however you would like! If you end up making something like this I would love for you to drop a picture of it in the comments!
