I’ve always loved a bar, specifically one that is loaded with popcorn, marshmallows and chocolate. But when the base of that is sea salt dusted popcorn well then it’s game over. There’s no denying the fact that it’s the best quick and easy summer dessert. There’s almost no cooking involved. You can have this ready to roll in less than 10 minutes. And I haven’t met a single person that doesn’t love this dessert. It’s magical and I know it’s going to be your go-to for the entire summer.

I’m about to head out on an epic summer camping adventure in Montana for one of my best friends bachelorette parties. Okay, maybe camping isn’t quite the right term… it’s more glamping with some tented camp that has king sized beds in it and comes complete with your own chef. But whatever, those are just details. What I’m most excited about is the fact that every night we get to make s’mores over an open campfire (supervised most likely by the chef with fancy chocolate and homemade marshmallows).

Seeing as how I can’t recreate that in my home, apparently condo buildings don’t look so fondly on open fires on the balcony, I decided to take the quintessential summer s’more flavors for a spin! Smartfood Delight sea salt popcorn acts as the base of this recipe with melted marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs and mini chocolate chips. That’s it! Throw a little salt on top for good measure and it’s game on!
