Gail Simmons Sweet S'mores Upgrade Has Instagram Freaking Out

There's no denying that Gail Simmons knows her stuff when it comes to the culinary world. Though many fans likely recognize Simmons from her role as a judge on "Top Chef" and its various iterations, she is also a cookbook author and food writer. So, when Simmons makes a food suggestion to her 232K Instagram followers, they listen up, and her latest — an upgrade for s'mores — is a total game changer. In fact, within just two days, the simple post racked up over 8,000 likes, including a like from actor Busy Philipps.

S'mores are a fairly simple snack, consisting of graham crackers, a slab of chocolate, and a toasted marshmallow sandwiched in between. How could one really upgrade this sweet treat? Well, Simmons isn't the type to stick to the graham cracker convention simply because it's the traditional cookie of choice for the s'mores exterior. Instead, she got creative, posting two different upgrades. In the first, she nestled a toasted marshmallow between two caramel truffle cookies from the brand Celebration, which are essentially crisp butter cookies topped with a layer of caramel and coated with smooth chocolate. For her second upgrade, she tossed a perfectly toasted marshmallow between two full Oreo cookies for a decadent delight. Yum!
