6 Ways to Make S’Mores

 

Summer is the perfect time to make s’mores. Here are 6 ways you can make s’mores whether you are indoors or outdoors. You just need graham crackers, a chocolate bar and marshmallows. You can make it vegan by using vegan marshmallows (I love using Dandies marshmallows).

Use the traditional campfire method. I love using this method if I am outdoors. This may depend on the weather and if you have a campfire available. This is a great option if you are going camping, but you can also use a firepit in your backyard.

You need a metal skewer or long stick you find in the woods to toast the marshmallow. Toast the marshmallow on the stick over the flame until brown and toasty which will take a couple minutes. Rotate periodically to get the full marshmallow cooked.

Place a graham cracker half on a plate or napkin. Top with a chocolate bar half. Add the warm marshmallow and place another graham cracker half on top. Press gently. Serve immediately.

Use a grill. This is a great outdoor alternative. Preheat your grill with medium heat. Toast the marshmallow over grill on a stick or skewer. Rotate the marshmallow until golden brown.

Place a graham cracker half on a plate or napkin. Top with a chocolate bar half. Add the warm marshmallow and place another graham cracker half on top. Press gently and serve.

Use the microwave. Place 1 graham cracker half on a paper towel or plate and top with a chocolate bar half and marshmallow. Microwave at medium (50%) power in 10 second intervals until marshmallow puffs and chocolate slightly softens. This can take about 30 seconds or up to a minute.

Immediately top with the remaining graham cracker half and gently press together. Serve immediately. 

Use an air fryer. This method will give you a get campfire like toastiness. Place 1 graham cracker half on the bottom of the air fryer basket and top with marshmallow. Air fry at 390 degrees F for about 5 minutes or until the marshmallow begins to crisp.

Immediately top with the chocolate bar half and the remaining graham cracker half. Gently press together. Serve immediately. 

Use the oven. I like this method the best for making s’mores indoors. It is also great because you can make more than one at once.

Place 1 graham cracker half on a cookie sheet. Top with chocolate bar half and marshmallow. Set oven to broil. Put cookie sheet on top rack for 1 - 2 minutes or until marshmallow begins to turn golden brown.

Remove from oven and top with a second graham cracker half and gently press together. Serve while warm. 

Use the flame of a stovetop. This is another good method for cooking indoors. Using a long wooden kebab stick or metal skewer, carefully toast a marshmallow over the stove on high heat until golden brown. Rotate periodically.

Place 1 graham cracker half on a plate. Top with a chocolate bar half. Place toasted marshmallow over chocolate graham cracker half. Top with second graham cracker half and gently press together. Serve immediately.
