Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For an extra gooey s'more, try using a chocolate with a higher cocoa content or even a flavored candy bar. If you don't have graham crackers, vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits can work as substitutes. To toast marshmallows evenly, consider using a long skewer or roasting fork to maintain a safe distance from the heat. Always keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
Serving Suggestions
S'mores are a delightful treat on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk or hot cocoa for a comforting experience. For a fun twist, consider adding sliced strawberries or bananas inside the s'more. These variations can elevate your dessert, making it even more enjoyable.

Storage & Reheating
S'mores are best enjoyed immediately, but you can store leftover ingredients separately. Keep the graham crackers in an airtight container to prevent them from becoming stale. Marshmallows can be stored at room temperature, while chocolate should be kept in a cool, dry place. If you want to reheat a s'more, use the microwave for a few seconds to soften the chocolate and marshmallow again, then enjoy.
