Ingredients
For the s'mores
- 8 graham cracker squares (from 4 full sheets, broken in half)
- 4 milk chocolate bars (1.55 oz each), each broken into 2 rectangles
- 4 large marshmallows
- Optional: roasting sticks or long skewers
Directions
- Break each graham cracker sheet in half crosswise to yield 8 squares, then arrange 4 squares on a serving plate.
- Thread each marshmallow onto a roasting stick or long skewer, holding it firmly about 2 inches above the surface.
- Toast the marshmallows over an open flame or hot coals, rotating slowly until evenly golden brown and softened, about 1 to 2 minutes per marshmallow.
- Place 2 chocolate rectangles on each of the 4 graham cracker squares arranged on the plate.
- Carefully slide each hot marshmallow off the stick and onto the chocolate-covered crackers, pressing down gently so the chocolate begins to melt from the residual heat.
- Top each marshmallow with a second graham cracker square and press down lightly to form a sandwich.
- Let the assembled s'mores rest for about 30 seconds so the chocolate softens further, then serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Cook’s Notes
- For an indoor version, toast marshmallows under a broiler set to high for 30 to 60 seconds, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Swap milk chocolate for dark chocolate, peanut butter cups, or flavored chocolate bars to customize the flavor.
- Use flavored marshmallows such as chocolate or strawberry for a fun twist on the classic.
- If the graham crackers feel stale, briefly toast them over the flame for added crunch and warmth.
- Always supervise children closely around open flames and keep a bucket of water nearby for safety.
