Ingredients
Scale
- 8 whole graham crackers (broken into squares, yielding 16 squares)
- 8 large marshmallows
- 8 squares of chocolate bars (milk or dark chocolate; adjust to taste)
- Optional Add-Ons:
- Peanut butter (2 tablespoons for an extra creamy twist)
- Nutella (2 tablespoons as an alternative to chocolate)
- Fruit slices (bananas or strawberries for a fruity touch)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
Break the graham crackers in half to make squares. Unwrap the chocolate bars and set them aside. Skewer the marshmallows on roasting sticks. - Toast the Marshmallows:
Over an open flame, grill, or stove, toast the marshmallows until golden brown. Rotate the marshmallow slowly for even cooking. For indoor options, you can broil the marshmallows on a baking sheet in the oven. - Assemble the S’mores:</strong>
Place a square of chocolate on one graham cracker square. Carefully remove the toasted marshmallow from the stick and sandwich it between the graham crackers, pressing gently to melt the chocolate. - Enjoy Immediately:
Let the S’more sit for a few seconds to allow the chocolate to soften, then dig in and enjoy the perfect bite of melty chocolate, gooey marshmallow, and crunchy graham cracker!
Notes
- For Indoor S’mores: If you don’t have a campfire or grill, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake the marshmallows and graham crackers on a lined baking tray for 3-5 minutes.
- Microwave Option: Stack a graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow on a microwave-safe plate and heat on high for 10-15 seconds. Watch carefully, as the marshmallow can puff up quickly.
- Chocolate Substitutes: For a richer taste, use dark chocolate, or try flavored chocolate bars like salted caramel or hazelnut for a gourmet twist.
