Classic selection: check the current kit contents and every ingredient label before serving.
Kit estimate is based on 8 s’mores per kit – every Annie’s kit contains 16 biscuits and makes 8 s’mores.
Planning a s’mores night is easier when you know how many marshmallows, biscuits and chocolate portions to prepare. Annie’s interactive party planner calculates a practical starting quantity from your guest numbers and the number of s’mores you want to serve.
Rather skip the shopping list? Browse our s’mores kits – gift-ready boxes with the main ingredients in one place.
The calculator is designed for family nights, birthdays, Bonfire Night gatherings, camping trips, weddings and relaxed garden parties. Use the result as a planning guide, then adjust for your guests and the serving sizes of the ingredients you choose.
Quick s’mores quantity formula
Multiply the number of guests by the number of s’mores you plan to serve each person. Each classic s’more normally needs:
- One marshmallow
- Two biscuit pieces
- One suitable chocolate portion
For example, six guests having two s’mores each means planning for 12 marshmallows, 24 biscuit pieces and 12 chocolate portions.
How many s’mores should you allow per person?
- One each: a light treat after another meal.
- Two each: a useful starting point for most family nights and parties.
- Three each: suitable for a longer evening or when s’mores are the main sweet activity.
Children’s appetites and portion needs vary. An attentive adult should supervise all flames, hot equipment and skewers, and ingredient labels should always be checked for allergens and age suitability.
Choosing a kit
Annie’s s’mores kits bring the main ingredients together in a gift-ready box. Every kit contains 16 biscuits and makes 8 s’mores, so divide the number of s’mores you need by eight and round up to find how many kits to order. Chocolate and extras differ between kits, so check each product page for the full contents.

S’mores party-planning FAQs
How many kits do I need?
Each Annie’s kit makes 8 s’mores. For 10 people having two each (20 s’mores), order 3 kits.
How many marshmallows do I need for 10 people?
For two s’mores each, start with 20 marshmallows. Add a small reserve if s’mores are the main activity or guests are likely to want another.
How many biscuits do I need?
Allow two biscuit pieces per s’more. Twenty s’mores therefore need 40 suitably sized biscuit pieces.
Should I open every ingredient before guests arrive?
Prepare enough for the first round and keep the remaining ingredients sealed until needed. This keeps the serving area tidier and makes ingredient labels available for anyone checking allergens.
