Classic campfire s'mores with toasted golden marshmallows and melty milk chocolate sandwiched between crisp graham crackers. You’ll get a gooey, toasty texture by broiling or fire/stovetop toasting before assembling.

Ingredients
  

Graham crackers
  • 8 sheet graham cracker sheets Halved to make 16 squares/sandwich halves.
Chocolate
  • 4 bar milk chocolate bars Broken into pieces for faster melting.
Marshmallows
  • 8 large marshmallows Toast until golden and gooey.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Assemble and toast
  1. Heat the broiler to high (about 500°F). Place the oven rack 6 inches from the heat and set a sheet pan under the broiler to warm briefly.
  2. Place a piece of chocolate on one half of a graham cracker.
  3. Toast the marshmallow over a fire, stove flame, or under the broiler until golden and gooey, about 30 to 60 seconds per marshmallow, with the outside turning light-golden.
  4. Place the toasted marshmallow on top of the chocolate, letting any melted chocolate glisten at the edges.
  5. Top with the second graham cracker half and press gently to sandwich, so the marshmallow and chocolate spread slightly.
Finish
  1. Let the heat melt the chocolate slightly before serving, about 1 to 2 minutes, until the chocolate looks softened but not runny.

Notes

Pro tip: For stovetop toasting, keep the flame low and rotate the marshmallow constantly so it toasts evenly without burning. Store assembled s’mores at room temperature for up to 2 hours (best texture); after that, the crackers soften. Freezing isn’t recommended because the graham crackers lose their crispness. If you want a less sweet option, use dark chocolate bars instead of milk chocolate.
