Ingredients in S’mores In The Oven

(Note: the full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.)

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious oven-baked s’mores:

Graham Crackers

The classic base for any s’more. You’ll need graham crackers to build the crust of your s’mores, providing that signature crunch.

Marshmallows

Go big or go home! Choose large marshmallows for the ultimate gooey factor. These are what really make the s’mores come to life with their soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Chocolate Bars

The rich, creamy chocolate is a must. Whether you go for milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate, the sweet, velvety goodness melts perfectly between the graham crackers.

Butter (Optional)

If you want to make your graham cracker base extra delicious, a bit of melted butter can help hold everything together and make the crust more indulgent.

Instructions

Let’s get your oven-ready and those s’mores on the way!

Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is the perfect temperature to toast those marshmallows just right.

Prepare the Graham Cracker Base

Lay out your graham cracker squares on a baking sheet. You can break them into halves or leave them whole, depending on how big you want your s’mores to be. If you like, brush the graham crackers with a little bit of melted butter for a buttery, crisp finish.

Layer the S’mores

Place a piece of chocolate on top of each graham cracker square. Don’t be shy—this is where the magic happens! Add one large marshmallow (or more if you’re feeling adventurous!) on top of the chocolate. The marshmallow will melt perfectly over the chocolate as it toasts in the oven.

Bake to Perfection

Pop the baking sheet into the oven and bake for about 4-6 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and the chocolate is starting to melt. Keep an eye on them to make sure the marshmallows don’t burn!

Top with the Second Graham Cracker

Once your marshmallows are perfectly toasted, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Place another graham cracker square on top of the marshmallow, pressing gently to make a delicious s’more sandwich.

Serve and Enjoy

Let the s’mores cool for a minute (just enough so you don’t burn your mouth!) and enjoy that perfect blend of warm, gooey, chocolatey goodness. The graham crackers will give you that satisfying crunch with every bite!

How to Serve S’mores In The Oven

These s’mores are delicious all on their own, but if you want to make your treat extra special, try pairing them with a few fun sides:

Fresh Fruit: Berries, banana slices, or even grilled pineapple are great additions to balance out the sweetness of the s’mores.

Ice Cream: Top your s’mores with a scoop of vanilla, chocolate, or even toasted marshmallow-flavored ice cream. You’ll take your dessert to a whole new level!

Hot Cocoa or Milk: A glass of creamy milk or a cup of hot cocoa makes the perfect drink pairing. Your s’mores and these drinks will go hand in hand.

Additional Tips

Don’t Overbake the Marshmallows: Keep a close eye on the marshmallows while baking. You want them golden brown, but not too dark. If they burn, you lose that perfect gooey texture.

Add Toppings: Want to get fancy? Add some toppings to your s’mores, like crushed nuts, caramel drizzle, or even peanut butter. These little extras will take your s’mores to the next level.

Make Them in a Pan: If you’re serving a crowd or want to make a larger batch, you can make a s’mores “pie” in a baking dish by layering graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows, then baking it all together. It’s a fun twist!

Make Them Ahead: You can prepare the graham cracker base, chocolate, and marshmallow layers ahead of time. Then, when you’re ready to bake, just assemble and pop them in the oven!
