How To Make A Kick-Ass Vegan Smores Station For Your Wedding
When planning a wedding, accommodating various dietary restrictions can be a challenge, especially when catering to a large number of vegans. For my own Los Angeles-based celebration, I found myself faced with this very issue. To ensure that my vegan guests felt included and satisfied, I decided to create a show-stopping vegan s’mores station.
What I discovered was that a well-executed plant-based take on the classic campfire treat can be just as delightful, if not more so, than its traditional counterpart. The key lies in selecting high-quality ingredients that do justice to this sweet and gooey indulgence. Here’s what you’ll need…
Vegan graham crackers
When it comes to satisfying your s’mores cravings, Kinnikinnick S’moreable Graham Crackers are a popular choice among vegans and those with gluten intolerance. One of their notable benefits is that they’re thicker than traditional graham crackers, which eliminates the risk of breakage. Some enthusiasts even claim that these vegan and gluten-free crackers surpass their conventional counterparts in terms of quality.
Of course, for those looking to sneak a little extra veganism into their s’mores experience, Nabisco’s original graham crackers are another option worth considering. Believe it or not, the recipe for these classic treats was actually accidentally vegan when first developed! And with their iconic red box packaging, you can’t go wrong.
Vegan marshmallows
When it comes to vegan marshmallows, we’re spoiled for choice. Take Dandies, for instance – the brand that impressed us with its performance in our outdoor experiment. Not only did they taste amazing, but they also held up surprisingly well against the elements, a feat unmatched by their regular counterparts (those Jet-Puffed marshmallows turned into sticky, melty messes in their jars).
And then there’s Trader Joe’s, which has managed to tick another box on its impressive list of offerings with its vegan and gluten-free marshmallow variety. It seems like no matter where you look, there are plenty of delicious and innovative options for vegans who still want to indulge in the sweet treats they love.

Meanwhile, their chocolate-covered cocomels can be transformed into decadent dark chocolate sea salt caramel s’mores. Simply pair these tasty treats with your favorite campfire marshmallows for a delightful twist on a classic campfire treat.
Bonus items…
At our wedding, we had a stunning S’mores bar that was a huge hit with our guests. To create this sweet setup, I ordered a variety of canisters to store and display the s’more ingredients. The 5-Piece Airtight Canister Set with clip top lids and chalkboard labels proved to be an excellent choice for keeping everything organized and easily accessible.
I also used S’more Chocolate Scented Note Cards as a thoughtful way to thank our guests for attending.
These adorable notecards, shaped like mini s’mores, added a personal touch to the overall experience. With these details in place, we were able to create an unforgettable S’mores bar that left a lasting impression on all who attended.
