Ingredients
Core Ingredients
- Graham Crackers (enough for base and top layers)
- Marshmallows (whole or mini-sized, enough to generously cover each smore)
- Chocolate Bars (milk, dark, or flavored, 1-2 squares per smore)
Optional Ingredients
- Butter (optional, for brushing crackers to add richness)
- Sea Salt (optional, a small sprinkle to enhance chocolate flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange the Graham Crackers: Place half of your graham crackers flat side up and spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet to serve as the base.
- Layer the Chocolate: Place one or two squares of chocolate on each cracker base, covering most of the surface for maximum melting.
- Add Marshmallows: Top the chocolate with a generous layer of marshmallows, either whole or mini-sized, to achieve that signature gooey toasted marshmallow effect.
- Bake and Toast: Bake in the oven for about 5 to 7 minutes, watching carefully until marshmallows become golden and puffed. Ovens vary, so monitor closely to avoid burning.
- Add the Top Layer: Remove the baking sheet and immediately press the remaining graham crackers over the toasted marshmallows to form sandwiches. Allow them to cool for a minute to set.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the smores warm for the best melty, gooey experience. Cut into portions if using a large baking sheet.
Notes
- Watch the marshmallows closely to prevent burning—they can go from golden to burnt in seconds.
- Use fresh marshmallows for better puffing and even toasting.
- Consider adding a thin layer of peanut butter or Nutella under the chocolate for added flavor.
- Place aluminum foil under your baking sheet to make cleanup even easier.
- Serve the smores immediately while warm and melty, as they harden slightly when cooling.
