How to make S’mores that will take you back to your childhood on the stove, in the microwave, in the oven and on the grill.
How do you make a S’more?
- The most basic answer is you break a graham cracker in half and lay the two halves on a plate.
- Top with a square of chocolate (If using a Hershey’s bar this would be 2 rectangles).
- Then have a marshmallow, heated up that you add to the chocolate and top with the graham cracker.
- Press down slightly and enjoy while warm and melted.
How do you make S’mores in the oven?
- Preheat your oven to broil.
- On a sheet pan add your graham cracker halves (leave an inch of space or so around the graham crackers as the marshmallows will expand).
- Top with the square of chocolate.
- Top the graham crackers with a marshmallow, either jet puffed size, jumbo or the new stacking marshmallows.
- Place on a rack 5-6 inches below the top of the oven.
- Leave the door open 3-4 inches so you can peek in.
- Watch for 20-30 seconds for them to char and expand.
- Remove from the oven and cover with additional graham crackers and serve.
