Who doesn’t love the classic combination of gooey marshmallows, creamy chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers? S’mores are a timeless treat that bring back memories of summer nights around the campfire. But what if you don’t have access to an open flame or outdoor space? Fear not, because we’re here to teach you how to cook s’mores in the oven!

Baking s’mores in the oven is a convenient and delicious alternative that allows you to enjoy this iconic dessert all year round, rain or shine. So, let’s get started on this mouthwatering adventure!

What You’ll Need

  • Graham crackers
  • Marshmallows
  • Chocolate bars (milk, dark, or even a flavored variety for an extra twist)
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (optional, but it makes cleaning up a breeze!)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). No need to wait for a roaring fire, we’re bringing the heat indoors!
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  3. Break the graham crackers in half to form squares. This will be the base and top of your s’mores sandwich.
  4. Place the graham cracker squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
  5. Top each graham cracker square with a piece of chocolate. You can use one or multiple pieces, depending on your preference for sweetness.
  6. Take marshmallows and slice them in half horizontally. This will help them melt more evenly.
  7. Place a marshmallow half on top of each chocolate-topped graham cracker.
  8. Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the marshmallows turn golden brown and slightly melted.
  9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully place another graham cracker square on top of each marshmallow to create the classic s’mores sandwich.
  10. Allow the s’mores to cool for a few minutes before indulging in their gooey goodness.

And there you have it—oven-baked s’mores that taste just as heavenly as their campfire counterparts! Serve them warm and enjoy the delightful combination of melted marshmallows and oozing chocolate.

This method gives you the opportunity to experiment with different variations. You can swap the traditional graham crackers for chocolate or cinnamon-flavored ones, or add a layer of peanut butter before assembling your s’mores. Get creative and tailor the recipe to suit your taste!

Oven-baked s’mores are perfect for parties, late-night cravings, or whenever you want to indulge in a sweet treat. Just be sure to have enough ingredients on hand because these delightful treats tend to disappear quickly!

So, go ahead and bring the outdoor fun indoors with this simple and delicious recipe. Whether it’s a chilly winter evening or a rainy summer day, you can enjoy the classic taste of s’mores anytime!
