Tips & Substitutions
For a fun twist, try substituting the Hershey chocolate with peanut butter cups or other candies like caramel-filled chocolates. If you prefer a less sweet version, use dark chocolate instead. Keep an eye on the marshmallows while microwaving to avoid them overflowing. If you want a crispy finish, you can toast the s'mores in the oven after microwaving for an extra crunch, similar to Easy Pan Smores.

Storage & Reheating
Microwave S'Mores are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. If you need to reheat them, do so in the microwave for just a few seconds to regain that gooey texture. Avoid refrigerating, as this can make the marshmallows hard.
