Baked S’mores Ingredients

Baked S’mores raw ingredients that are labeled

You can savor the yummy combination of toasted marshmallows paired with the velvety smoothness of the melted chocolate.

The buttery graham crackers provide the perfect crunch and flavor to round out this delicious treat.

You’ll need:

1½ cups of graham cracker crumbs
¾ cup of salted sweet cream butter, melted
⅓ cup of granulated sugar
½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
10 to 12 whole graham crackers (depending on how large your graham crackers are)
3 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chunks (or you can use Hershey chocolate bars)
3 cups of milk chocolate chips
4 cups of mini marshmallows (divided into 1½ cups and 2½ cups)

Substitutions And Additions

MARSHMALLOWS: You can substitute regular-sized marshmallow halves for mini marshmallows for these easy oven s’mores.

BUTTER: You can substitute unsalted butter for salted sweet cream butter for these easy S’mores; it is a matter of taste preference.

GRAHAM CRACKERS: If you’re feeling adventurous, try using different types of graham crackers.

Cinnamon or chocolate graham crackers can introduce new dimensions of flavor to your s’mores.

CARAMEL DRIZZLE: Drizzle a bit of caramel sauce over the marshmallows before baking for a gooey and indulgent twist.

How To Make This Baked S’mores Recipe

You will assemble these indoor s’mores just like you would put together a double-decker one in the great outdoors.

First, a layer of graham crackers lines the pan, followed by even more graham crackers in the form of a buttery crust.

Next, sprinkle the chocolate and marshmallows on top of the crust before doing it all over again.

Pop it in the oven, and soon, you will be enjoying a classic camping treat at home.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving two sides higher, making a sling.

This will help remove the s’mores for cutting.

STEP TWO: Add the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir well to completely coat the cracker crumbs.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

If you don’t have graham crumbs, you can crush graham crackers in a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin or in a food processor.

STEP THREE: Line the bottom of the prepared pan with a single layer of whole graham crackers.

I was able to fit five whole graham crackers in the bottom of the pan. You will need to break the crackers to fit.

STEP FOUR: Spread half of the buttered crumbs in an even layer over the whole graham crackers.

STEP FIVE: Evenly sprinkle 1½ cups of the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1½ cups of the milk chocolate chips over the buttered crumbs.

STEP SIX: Evenly sprinkle 1½ cups of the mini marshmallows over top of the chocolate.

STEP SEVEN: Lay another layer of graham crackers.

STEP EIGHT: Spread the remaining buttered crumbs over the graham crackers.

STEP NINE: Evenly sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the buttered crumbs.

Do NOT top the chocolate with the remaining mini marshmallows. Bake the s’mores for 15 minutes.

PRO TIP:

Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your S’mores as the suggested baking time approaches

STEP TEN: Remove the s’mores from the oven and increase the oven temperature to broil.

STEP ELEVEN: Sprinkle the remaining mini marshmallows over the chocolate layer. Return the s’mores to the oven and cook for one to two minutes.

Keep a close eye on the mini marshmallows so they don’t burn.

STEP TWELVE: Remove from the oven and allow the baked s’mores to cool for 20 to 25 minutes.

Place the baked s’mores into the refrigerator to chill for one hour. It’s easier to cut into squares when the s’mores are chilled.

STEP THIRTEEN: Lift the baked s’mores out of the baking dish by the longer sides of the parchment paper.

STEP FOURTEEN: Generously spray a sharp knife with nonstick cooking spray. Slice 16 pieces of the baked s’mores (four slices x four slices).

PRO TIP:

It is not an absolute must to spray the cutting knife with nonstick cooking spray, but it will make cutting the finished s’more much easier. Otherwise, the marshmallows and chocolate will stick to the knife.

How To Serve Oven-Baked S’mores

Now, you can enjoy s’mores year-round.

Serve up a batch of these sweet treats for cozy winter movie nights at home, along with a homemade hot chocolate or peppermint white hot chocolate to drink.

Baked s’mores are a timeless classic, but they don’t have to be enjoyed alone.

To create an even more indulgent snack, try serving it with a creamy frozen yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Storage

If you have any leftover s’mores, we have a couple of tips for storing them.

MAKE AHEAD: While baked s’mores are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, you can prepare some elements in advance to save time.

You can pre-make the graham cracker and chocolate base and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply add the marshmallows and broil for that perfect, toasty finish.

ON THE COUNTER: Store any leftover oven-baked s’mores in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.

IN THE FREEZER: It’s not recommended to freeze these baked s’mores as the marshmallow will not hold up well during the freezing process.

REHEATING: To enjoy baked s’mores from the fridge or freezer, the oven or toaster oven is the best method for reheating.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), place the s’mores on a baking sheet, and warm them for about five to seven minutes, or until the marshmallows are soft and gooey.

If you’re in a hurry, you can also use the microwave, but be cautious as it can cause the marshmallows to over-expand and become overly sticky.

Microwave on a microwave-safe plate in 10 to 15-second intervals until they reach your desired level of warmth.
