How To Make The Perfect S’mores

    S’mores are the perfect treat, loved for their yummy, chocolatey goodness and nostalgic charm. So many memories can be cherished and connected through this delectable dessert. Traditionally made over a campfire, S’mores combine marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers for a tasty treat. However, they can be made in multiple ways if a campfire is not on hand. Here’s a quick and easy recipe for crafting the perfect s’mores at home to enjoy with your friends and family or all for yourself.

    For the s’mores recipe, here are some of the items you will need: 

  • Marshmallows – Large marshmallows work the best, but any marshmallow of you prefer will do
  •  Chocolate – Classic Hershey’s milk chocolate bars are usually the fan favorite, but you can also experiment with any chocolate you would like. 
  •  Graham Crackers – The final ingredient that ties in all of the flavor while also balancing out the sweetness
   If you feel like you have an extra sweet tooth, add other candy items like gummy bears,
sour worms, or caramel syrup.


    Now, there are two different ways one can cook their S’mores to perfection and they are
also entirely safe to do inside the comfort of your own home. First, there is:

1. Oven-Baked S’mores
  •  First, you must preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • For less of a mess, prepare a baking sheet with graham crackers laid out in pairs. Each topped with a square of chocolate and any other toppings you’d like.
  • Place a marshmallow on one graham cracker of each pair, then pop the baking sheet into the oven for 3-5 minutes. Make sure you watch carefully to see your marshmallow turn a roasted brown. that is when it is ready.
  •  Now combine your s’mores by placing the second graham cracker on top of each gooey marshmallow stack. Now enjoy!
    Who needs a campfire when you can cook S’mores inside of the oven with less chance of it
becoming burnt?

2. Microwave S’mores

    For an even easier way to prepare S’mores, the microwave is the perfect option for making them
at home!

  • Place one graham cracker with a piece of chocolate and marshmallow (or whatever toppings you prefer) on a plate.
  • Place in the microwave, then set on high for about 10-15 seconds. Make sure to watch closely so you don’t miss the marshmallow blowing up! This is when you will take it out.
  • Top with another graham cracker, and now you are ready to enjoy your perfect S'mores!

The microwave option is best for making a treat with less preparation and tools.

Making s’mores could be super easy and fun at home, too! Whether you choose the oven or
microwave method, there is no need for a campfire to continue creating those special memories.

Perfect for staying in, rainy days, or just a craving, you can bring that nostalgic outdoor feel right
to your kitchen. So gather your ingredients and explore in different ways that you want. Enjoy
this DIY recipe and create your own delicacy!

  5. Thank you for the tips! I love making s'mores for my sister and I to enjoy. I usually use the microwave and recently saw a video on TikTok about using an air fryer. Now I'm adding trying to use an oven to the list.

  6. Hi Ximena,
    Where do I start? Your post instantly brought back memories of sharing a S'more with my friends and family. I have made s'mores at home with a store bought warmer specifically for smores to make it feel like we're at the beach and at the beach during bonfires, and they are never disappointing. S'mores will always make me feel better no matter what and everyone instantly is put in a better mood. Thanks for sharing how you make them!

  8. I have never even thought of oven baking my s'mores... This is genius! It makes the snack so much more accessible rather than it only being available when a campfire is near. Love this!
