# Rainbow Smores Recipes These Colorful Treats are Perfect for Celebrating National S'mores Day By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-08-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smores-day References: [delish](http://www.delish.com/food/a43453/tie-dye-smores-recipe/) & [foodgawker](http://foodgawker.com/post/2015/08/06/488968/) These vibrant tie dye treats are the perfect way to celebrate National S'mores Day. While the [classic campfire treat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campfire-smores-collection) has been reinterpreted in a number of different ways, these rainbow snacks put a whole new spin on the dessert dish. These colorful treats may look complex, but they are actually fairly simple to make. Their recipe involves making [homemade marshmallows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smore-speckled-marshmallow) and then using gel food coloring to achieve their vibrant tie dye effect. Once your fluffy marshmallow treats are ready, sandwich them between two graham crackers for a fun twist on the [gooey campfire dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hersheys-smores-mcflurry). While the recipe is great for celebrating National S'mores Day, it could also serve as a fun activity for a children's birthday party. The colors are similar to those found in a number of other funfetti desserts, which are a popular way of putting a festive twist on any recipe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Homemade Marshmallows:** Businesses in the food industry can offer colorful homemade marshmallows as a unique and fun addition to their product line. - **DIY Desserts:** Companies in the event industry can offer DIY dessert stations at children's birthday parties or other events, allowing guests to make their own colorful treats. - **Tie-dye Treats:** Businesses in the dessert-making industry can offer tie-dye s'mores as a new and innovative dessert option for customers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food:** Companies that produce or sell desserts and snacks can incorporate homemade marshmallows or DIY dessert stations into their product offerings. - **Event Planning:** Event planning companies can offer DIY dessert stations as a fun and interactive activity at children's birthday parties or other events. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and resorts can offer tie-dye s'mores as a unique and memorable dessert option for guests, setting themselves apart from competitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [S’mores-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-smores-ice-cream.md) - [Color-Changing Marshmallows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-changers-marshmallows.md) - [S'mores-Themed Dessert Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maud-borup.md) - [Campfire Treat Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoreos.md) - [Nostalgic Campfire Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-smores-cookie.md) - [Chocolate Chip Marshmallows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smore-speckled-marshmallow.md) - [Stuffed S’Mores Ice Creames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-smores-ice-cream.md) - [Grillable Brownie Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grillable-brownie-smores.md) - [Allergen-Free S’mores Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-smores-kit.md)
