For families enjoying summer barbecues, backyard fire pits, and beach bonfires, Venchi has prepared a recipe based on an American classic: S'mores Suprema XV (di Frutta) Venchi.

Venchi's Suprema XV Spread is available in milk or dark chocolate versions and made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Piedmont Hazelnut and cocoa and has no artificial ingredients or palm oil.

Developed for Venchi by Food Creative Victoria Granof, these elevated s'mores are easy to make and add an elegant touch to summertime dining.

While there are two versions: raspberry pistachio and pineapple coconut, I'm sharing the raspberry pistachio, because yum!

S'mores Suprema XV (di Frutta) Venchi - Raspberry Pistachio

Ingredients:

12 Tbsp. Venchi Milk or Dark Chocolate Suprema
12 vanilla or chocolate pizzelle
1 pint fresh raspberries
3 Tbsp. chopped pistachios
6 extra large marshmallows

• Spread each pizelle with one tablespoon of Suprema.
• Divide the raspberries between 6 of the pizelle. Sprinkle with the pistachios.
