Ingredients
Instructions
- Place a graham cracker square on a paper plate.
- Top with a chocolate square and a marshmallow.
- Microwave on High for 15 to 20 seconds until marshmallow puffs and chocolate melts.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best results, use a standard-sized marshmallow as mini marshmallows may not puff enough. You can substitute chocolate with Nutella or any other spread if desired. If you want a crunch, add a few nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before microwaving. Keep an eye on the marshmallow, as microwaves can vary in power, leading to potential overflow if cooked too long.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these S'Mores as a delightful dessert or snack at parties, especially alongside a cozy bonfire setup. They pair beautifully with a cup of hot cocoa or coffee. You can also serve them as a fun treat for kids’ gatherings, alongside other snacks like Party Dogs for a complete experience.
Storage & Reheating
Microwave S'Mores are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to revive the gooey texture. Avoid refrigerating, as cold conditions can harden the chocolate and marshmallow, changing their delightful consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate for S'Mores?
Absolutely! You can experiment with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even flavored chocolates like caramel or mint. Each type will provide a unique twist to your S'Mores. Just ensure it melts well in the microwave for the best experience.
What if I don't have graham crackers?
If you don't have graham crackers, you can use any cookie that has a similar texture, such as digestive biscuits, shortbread, or even chocolate cookies for a richer flavor. Just make sure they can hold the toppings without becoming too soggy.
How can I make S'Mores without a microwave?
You can make S'Mores using an oven or a campfire. For the oven, preheat it to 350°F (175°C), assemble your S'Mores on a baking sheet, and bake for about 5 minutes until the marshmallow is puffy. For a campfire, toast the marshmallow on a stick over the flames and assemble it with the crackers and chocolate. Enjoy the traditional outdoor experience!
