Backyard s’mores? Been there, done that.

Skillet s’mores? A little too much work for a weeknight.

... But tabletop fire pit s’mores?

We’re intrigued.

This summer, the chocolatey, marshmallow-y, graham-cracker-y snack you’ve come to know and love is getting yet another upgrade, thanks to a bit of elbow grease from some of our favorite DIY bloggers. And the result-a portable, tabletop fire bowl perfect for both dessert and decor-is sweeping the nation.

Okay, Pinterest. It’s sweeping Pinterest. But we’re certain the nation’s next.

Not a s’mores fan? Well, first of all, you may want to seek professional help. Like, immediately. But also, s'mores are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to fire bowls. You don’t actually have to roast anything over these flames, nor do you really need to interact with the bowl at all. Instead, you can simply gaze toward it adoringly, allowing it to act as a decorative stand-in for an outdoor fireplace.

And, of course, in addition to being beautiful, these fire bowls prove useful as well-particularly on chillier evenings. Even a small fire is enough to keep your front porch warm and your guests happy.

What's more, because they can be used inside covered porches, you'll be able to enjoy fireside nights regardless of the weather. Which means you could be roasting 'mallows and telling ghost stories well after summer's over (and long before it begins, too).

Brilliant.
