Ingredients

It's a short and simple list. But still, let's go through the necessary ingredients:

ingredients to make s'mores in the oven
  • Graham crackers: It doesn't really matter what kind of graham cracker you use (e.g., gluten free, honey, etc.), just use whatever you prefer.
  • Marshmallows: You want to use the big, fat, jumbo marshmallows here for as much marshmallowy goodness as possible.
  • Chocolate: The traditional choice would be Hershey's milk chocolate candy bars, but you can use whatever you like. In the mood for dark chocolate? Use it! Want to get even crazier and use some other kind of candy, like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup? This is also an option!

How do you make s'mores in the oven?

Thankfully for you and for me, it's very easy to make s'mores in the oven! But let's talk through the steps below.

First thing's first: I definitely recommend lining your baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Melted marshmallow can be a real pain to scrape off of a baking sheet. Let's not make our lives any more difficult than they have to be, right?

Position the top oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the broiler!

Next, you'll set the bottom graham crackers onto the prepared baking sheet. Top those graham crackers with one jumbo marshmallow each (two each if you're feeling a little extra).

Place the baking sheet under the broiler, but don't walk away! Seriously. The marshmallows can go from golden brown to charred just like that.

Once the marshmallows have reached the desired degree of toastiness, pull them from the oven and press the chocolate onto the marshmallows and the other graham cracker halves on top of that.

Ta da!

Other s'mores recipes

On the hunt for more s'mores recipes? Yes, of course you are. You are a person of taste. Fortunately, I have more!

S'mores Bars and S'mores Chocolate Chip Cookies are both delicious. The recipes also make big batches, so they're perfect for sharing.

S'mores Cupcakes and S'mores Cheesecake are crowd pleasers, too!

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of graham crackers should I use?

Truthfully, whatever kind you like best! Regular, honey, gluten free... follow your heart!

What kind of chocolate should I use?

Hershey's bars would be traditional here, but you can use whatever kind floats your boat. You could even get really creative and use another kind of candy bar entirely. Think Reese's cups, a chocolate bar filled with caramel, you get the idea.

How long should these s'mores go under the broiler?

In my experience, no more than 2 minutes. In fact, 2 minutes was almost too long. No matter what, just make sure to keep a very close eye on the marshmallows once they're under the broiler. They go from white and fluffy to charred much faster than you'd think.

  • 1 chocolate bar broken into quarters

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the broiler in the oven and position the oven rack in the middle position.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Place the baking sheet on the oven rack under the broiler. Broil for 2 minutes, or until the marshmallow reaches your desired level of toastiness. Make sure to keep a close eye on things, because the marshmallow can go from perfectly golden brown to charred very quickly.

    I’ve made something called Indoor S’Mores. Sort of a take on Rice Krispy Treats. They are made with Golden Grahams cereal, marshmallows, and chocolate chips (milk chocolate for purists, though I prefer semisweet). It’s a great recipe if you don’t have an oven - you just need a saucepan/stove or a microwave.
