Smores Latte

Let’s be honest some days just feel like a marshmallow kind of day. Maybe you’re just craving a little something sweet that feels like a treat just for you. Whatever kind of day you’re having, I’ve got the perfect pick-me-up: the S’mores Latte.

Yes, you heard that right. We’re taking all the gooey, toasty, chocolatey goodness of your favorite campfire treat and turning it into a warm, frothy latte that tastes like comfort in a cup. And the best part? It’s super easy to make at home no fancy barista skills required, no campfire either.

This recipe is one of those I keep in my back pocket for days that need a bit of magic. It’s also so much fun for get-togethers brunch with girlfriends, movie nights, or even a late-night treat with your teens when everyone’s finally home and the kitchen becomes the family hangout spot.

Why You’ll Love This S’mores Latte

Let me tell you why this recipe is a keeper:

• It’s quick. Like, ten minutes max from start to sip.
• It’s fun. From rimming the glass with graham cracker crumbs to topping it with mini marshmallows this latte is part drink, part dessert.
• It’s nostalgic. One sip and you’re back by the fire, wrapped in a blanket, laughing with your favorite people.
• It’s customizable. Make it dairy-free, go heavy on the chocolate, or even spike it for a grown-up twist. (Not that I’m encouraging anything… but hey, you do you!)

S’mores Latte Recipe

How to Make a Smores Latte

1. Prep Your Mug (The Fun Part):
Let’s start by getting your mug party-ready. Spread the graham cracker crumbs out on a small plate. Dip the rim of your mug into chocolate syrup, then press it gently into the crumbs so it gets that golden, crunchy edge. This little step makes it feel extra special and bonus, it tastes amazing.

2. Warm Up the Milk:
In a small saucepan, heat your milk over medium heat until it’s warm and frothy, but not boiling. If you have a milk frother, this is its time to shine! If not, a whisk and a little elbow grease will do the trick.

3. Brew & Mix:
Brew your espresso or strong coffee and pour it into your mug. Stir in the s’mores syrup it brings all that toasted marshmallow + graham cracker flavor together.

4. Pour & Combine:
Now pour your frothy milk right into the mug. Stir gently to mix it all together. The chocolate starts to swirl, the milk gets creamy, and you’ll start to smell that dreamy, sweet aroma.

5. Top It Off Like a Pro:
Here comes the best part toppings! Add a generous handful of mini marshmallows. Toast them with a kitchen torch if you’ve got one (or pop them under the broiler for a sec, but watch them like a hawk!).
Sprinkle on a few more graham cracker crumbs and maybe a drizzle of extra chocolate syrup. Because… why not?

A Latte More Than Just Coffee

When you serve this at a party, movie night or girls’ night it is a total crowd-pleaser. You can even set up a mini latte bar with graham cracker rims, marshmallows, syrups, and whipped cream. Let everyone build their own it’s a guaranteed hit.

Quick Tips & Variations

Want to make it even easier? Here are a few shortcuts and tweaks:

• No s’mores syrup? Mix a bit of vanilla syrup and marshmallow fluff, or just go heavy on the chocolate syrup with a pinch of cinnamon.
• Make it iced: Pour everything over ice after brewing and frothing. It’s just as dreamy cold.
• Add a grown-up twist: A splash of Bailey’s or Kahlua can turn this into a cozy evening cocktail.
• Dairy-free version: Oat milk froths beautifully and adds a nice creamy texture. Almond, soy, or coconut milk work great too.

So next time you’re craving a break or hosting a friend, or just want to make Tuesday feel a little more like Friday make this latte. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did.
