Is This Actually Charcuterie?

Charcuterie, grazing boards, and dessert boards have become so popular lately, and they're just perfect for entertaining. Guests can help themselves, and come up with their own perfect combinations. Lately I've seen more and more dessert inspired charcuterie boards and thought that a S'mores Dessert Board might just be the most perfect dessert we could come up with this summer -spoiler alert, it was!

Technically speaking a charcuterie board is made up of cured meats, but in more recent times people have used the term to describe any curated board of goodies, including a traditional meat and cheese board ingredients all the way to dessert themed boards. We're using the term in this more general way here.

Perfect for Camping

We were invited to visit friends at a campground for a day and brought this along to share. It was a huge hit! It's perfect for a campfire on camping trips, but it would be great at any summer party -even if it was roasting the marshmallows over some candles. Our friends -and their family who were there raved about the s'more platter. And the run away hit of the night was definitely the homemade graham crackers. Consider them crowd tested and approved! They were the first thing to go on the whole board.

Ingredients

• Homemade Graham Crackers: We made homemade honey graham crackers. We used this recipe from Brown Eyed Baker, but since graham flour is so hard to find we substituted whole wheat flour. They were a little fiddle-ly to deal with, and the dough was a bit crumbly even with rolling them out between parchment with no added flour. But, they were the hit of the night. Everyone raved about them, and they were the first thing gone from the tray. Even if you were only making traditional s’mores with no extra toppings these homemade classic graham crackers would bring your s'mores up to the gourmet s’mores level.
• Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers and Chocolate Digestive Cookies: These are perfect for smores, because the heat from a toasted marshmallow perfectly melted the thin layer of chocolate.
• Chocolate: We had an assortment of chocolate bars; milk chocolate, dark chocolate, a bar with coconut in it, and almond Hershey bars, peanut butter cups, and Hersey's cookies and cream. 
• Nutella: Was a big hit, a real crowd favorite.
• Dutch De Leche: We did a homemade version, but you can also purchase ready made. The homemade dulce de leche is a really easy recipe, it's just takes a bit of time. To make the dulce de leche you start with an un-opened tin of sweetened condensed milk. You submerge the sealed tin in a pan of boiling water, and let it boil for 2 hours. You must keep the tin can covered in water, if it boils dry it can apparently explode hot caramel everywhere and be very dangerous. I've made it many, many times and never had any problem at all. I usually set a timer and check the water levels every half hour and top up the way as necessary. After two hours remove it from the boiling water and open it. It is the most delicious caramel dulce de leech inside -as if my magic. It is such a delicious addition to s'mores, especially if you're a caramel lover.
• Marshmallows: We made homemade marshmallows. You can of course, use store bought marshmallows instead of, or in addition to homemade marshmallows. We did a vanilla and chocolate swirl version of homemade marshmallows.  We used this recipe from Elton Brown.  To make them vanilla and chocolate, first we layered about ⅔'s of the marshmallow mixture into the baking dish. Then we added 2 tablespoon of coco powder to the remaining ⅓ and combined before layering it on top and giving it a bit of swirl with the vanilla underneath. Homemade marshmallows aren't too difficult to make, you just need a candy thermometer and a stand mixer. They do need to sit overnight, so do give yourself enough time to make them. They are so delicious; light and airy, like eating what a sweet cloud must taste like, and guaranteed to impress your friends.

 

How To Put Together Your Smore Charcuterie Board

1. We put our classic s’mores board together on a large tray with a edge to make sure nothing fell off of the side. You could also use a wooden board, or large cutting board for your own s’mores board.

Laying things out on a dessert tray makes for a beautiful presentations, and makes it easy for everyone to see all the options.

2. We started out arranging our food with the homemade marshammows right down the centre, because they were the star of the show.

3. Next we added in a few small bowls of our Nutella and Dulce De Leche. These spreads add so much to the whole smores experience and lead to so many great combinations of flavors.

4. Then we layered in our cookie options.

5. Lastly, we added all our chocolate options to the board, breaking the chocolate bars into squares.

Don't forget some long forks or classic sticks for roasting your marshmallows, and some spoons to use for the spreads.

Expert Tip: Bring some wet wipes to the campfire to make cleanup a little easier.

We had so much fun sharing this s'mores charcuterie board around an open fire. The best part was trying different combinations and coming up with new favourites. 

The traditional s'mores combo was a favourite for some people, but lots enjoyed going to the next level with new combinations of their favorite toppings.

There were endless combinations to create. I highly recommend this for any camping get together or at your backyard fire pit for your next party as a really fun idea.

With a S'mores Charcuterie Board, life really is a party!
