You’re never too old for a campfire on a clear summer night. Whether it’s a bonfire in the backyard or a full camping experience out in the woods, a July night under the stars just isn’t complete without the right snacks to cook up alongside your ghost stories and songs.

Hot dogs are an essential campfire food—easy to skewer and fun to eat right off the stick. The kids will love the opportunity to cook their own hot dogs, and of course it will mean one less evening in the kitchen for you! But the true glory of all campfire food is undoubtedly the s’more.

You loved s’mores as a kid, and classic s’mores are such a perfect food… but why not try a little variety this summer? Here are 8 ideas to take your s’mores experience to the next level:

1. Use cinnamon graham crackers and add sliced bananas.
2. Use chocolate chip cookies in place of graham crackers.
3. Use mint chocolate or peppermint patties.
4. Use pretzels instead of graham crackers and add caramel for a salted caramel s’more.
5. Use peanut butter instead of chocolate.
6. Go triple-chocolate with chocolate graham crackers and chocolate marshmallows.
7. Use dark chocolate and add chili powder for a spicy kick.
8. Use white chocolate on the inside and macadamia nut cookies instead of graham crackers.

Kick your campfire up a notch this summer. We all know the classics are great, but it’s always fun to put a new spin on old favorites!
