Ingredients
Instructions
- Make a sandwich of a piece of chocolate (Hershey candy bar) and two crackers.
- Toast a marshmallow until golden brown and well puffed.
- Place the toasted marshmallow into the chocolate sandwich and press gently together.
- Eat and enjoy.
Tips & Substitutions
For perfectly toasted marshmallows, use a long skewer and hold them over a gentle fire, rotating for even browning. If you prefer a twist, try substituting the Hershey candy bars with peanut butter cups or any chocolate of your choice. For a crunchy texture, consider using graham crackers or even cookies like those found in Snicker Bar Cookies for added flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve s'mores as a fun dessert for gatherings or family camping trips. They pair beautifully with milk or hot chocolate for a cozy treat. Consider offering toppings like crushed nuts or flavored extracts to customize your s'mores experience. A side of Summer Corn Relish can add a refreshing contrast to this sweet treat.
Storage & Reheating
S'mores are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a day. To reheat, you can use a microwave for a few seconds to warm the marshmallow, but be careful not to overdo it as they can become too gooey. Alternatively, place them back over a low flame briefly to revive their toasty flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make s'mores without a campfire?
Absolutely! You can easily make s'mores using a broiler or a microwave. For the broiler, place assembled s'mores on a baking sheet and broil for a few seconds until the marshmallow is golden. In the microwave, heat each assembled s'more for about 10 seconds, watching closely to prevent overcooking.
What if I want a healthier version of s'mores?
You can create a healthier version of s'mores by using dark chocolate, organic marshmallows, and whole grain crackers. Additionally, consider adding fresh fruit like banana slices or berries for a nutritious boost while still enjoying that classic s'mores flavor.
How can I make s'mores for a large group?
To serve s'mores to a crowd, set up a s'mores station with all the ingredients laid out for guests to assemble their own. You can also prepare a s'mores dip by melting chocolate and marshmallows together in a baking dish, then serve it with graham cracker sticks for dipping, making it a fun and interactive experience.
