No campfire, no 4th of July grilling setup, and no fire pit required — just your oven, a handful of pantry staples, and a serious sweet tooth. Let’s get into it! Ready To Get Started? First things first — stock up on everything you need for s’mores. You’ll need the obvious necessities, of course: HONEYMAID HONEY Grahams, HERSHEY’S 6-Pack Chocolate Bars, and Jet Puffed Marshmallows. I know, I know, it seems so simple, but trust me — good graham cracker quality really does make a difference here. You want that classic honey-sweet crunch to hold up under all that gooey marshmallow and melty chocolate without turning into mush. Nobody wants a soggy s’more, am I right?! And Be Sure To Pick Up The Extras That Make These Gourmet S’mores Extra Special You probably already have most of this stuff in your pantry, but here’s a list in case you need to pick anything up: vanilla frosting rainbow chips (or other rainbow sprinkles) chocolate sandwich cookies peanut butter marshmallow fluff strawberries Honestly, half the fun of these is raiding your own pantry and seeing what gourmet combos you can dream up. Got leftover candy from a holiday stash? Toss it in. This is basically a choose-your-own-adventure dessert, and I am so here for it. Want To Know How To Roast The Perfect Marshmallows Indoors? Ok, so you’ve probably seen marshmallows roasted under the broiler in an oven. Right? Every search I did for “how to roast marshmallows inside” pulled up a dozen tutorials for marshmallows placed right under the broiler, browned, and flipped to broil on the other side. Which is fine. That works okay. But I found that broiling my marshmallows on the top rack right under the broiler didn’t give the marshmallows enough time in the oven to get really gooey and melty on the insides even though the outsides looked perfectly roasted. I was also really dissatisfied with how little these broiled marshmallows were able to melt the chocolate. Since the marshmallows didn’t seem to get heated all the way through, they just weren’t hot enough. After a little trial and error, I found the secret to PERFECT oven-roasted marshmallows that are crispy golden on the outside, totally melted on the inside, warm enough to melt the chocolate, and as an added bonus: no flipping! Honestly, once you taste that gooey marshmallow center, you may never go back to standing over a fire pit poking at a stick again. (I said what I said.) How To Roast Marshmallows In The Oven STEP 1: Place the graham crackers on a baking sheet and top each one with a marshmallow. STEP 2: Place the oven rack in the MIDDLE of the oven and turn the broiler on. Broil the marshmallows until golden! Moving the rack to the middle of the oven is THE KEY to roasting these marshmallows to perfection. We’re still using the broiler, so we’ll get that golden, crispy exterior. But since the marshmallows aren’t right under the broiler, they stay in the oven a little bit longer, which gives the insides time to get all nice and gooey! This one little trick genuinely changed my whole indoor s’mores game, and I can’t believe it took me so many tries to figure it out. This is the reason it is also imperative to broil the marshmallows on top of the graham crackers. Otherwise, they are too gooey to easily remove from the baking sheet. Keep a close eye on them, too — broilers can go from “perfectly toasted” to “oh no” in about four seconds flat, so don’t wander off to check your phone! STEP 3: Press a piece of chocolate into each roasted marshmallow. Return the baking sheet to the oven for about 10 seconds. Ta-da! That’s how you make a perfect indoor s’more, folks. If you want to take things even further into dessert-nerd territory, melt down a little extra chocolate with some cream for a quick chocolate ganache drizzle — be still my heart, it’s so good. Now let’s dress these babies up a little 😉. Quick & Easy Ideas For Gourmet S’mores Chocolate Covered Strawberry S’mores Add sliced strawberries to the top of the chocolate (this will be “the bottom”). Add a second piece of chocolate to another graham cracker square (this will be “the top”). Place the top on a cookie sheet and return to the oven for 10 seconds. Sandwich together the top and the bottom to create the Chocolate Covered Strawberry S’more. This one tastes like a chocolate-dipped strawberry had a baby with a campfire treat, and honestly? I literally can’t even. So good. Cookies & Cream S’mores Spread vanilla frosting on a graham cracker square and press it into the chocolate cookie crumbs (this is “the top”). Sandwich together the top and the bottom to create the Cookies & Cream S’more. You can also use HERSHEY’S Cookies & Cream Bars for an added delicious flavor! If you’re already a fan of crumbly, cookie-packed desserts, this is basically the s’mores version of my s’mores cookie bars, and it’s dangerously easy to make a whole batch disappear. Fluffernutter S’mores Even though we already have a roasted marshmallow in a s’more — is a Fluffernutter really a Fluffernutter without marshmallow cream?! Nope. We did say GOURMET indoor S’Mores. So spread a graham cracker square with marshmallow fluff and peanut butter (this will be “the top”). Sandwich together the top and the bottom to create the Fluffernutter S’more. Between the gooey marshmallow fluff, the toasted marshmallow, and the peanut butter, this one is basically a flavor explosion — so sticky, so sweet, so worth every bit of the mess. Birthday Cake S’more Spread vanilla frosting on a graham cracker square and add rainbow chips to the frosting (this is “the top”). Sandwich together the top and the bottom with a marshmallow and chocolate to create the Birthday Cake S’more. This one is pure happy-childhood-nostalgia in dessert form, and it’s an absolutely perfect addition to any of these 4th of July dessert recipes if you want something a little more playful on the table. More Gourmet S’mores Flavor Combos To Try Once you’ve got the basic method down, the flavor combos really are endless. Try a salted caramel version with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, or go full dessert-mashup and layer in crushed pretzels for a sweet-and-salty crunch. If you’re a Girl Scout cookie fanatic like me, you have got to try a Samoas-inspired s’more — toasted coconut and caramel over that gooey marshmallow is basically a religious experience. These indoor gourmet s’mores are so forgiving that there’s really no wrong answer here, so get creative and have fun with it! Making Indoor Gourmet S’mores At Any Summer Get-Together One of the best parts about making indoor s’mores is that you can make a large quantity at one time. So there’s no waiting for someone to finish with a marshmallow stick and no fighting over that one perfect spot by the fire pit for roasting. You can fit 9-12 s’more “bottoms” on a typical baking sheet, which means you can feed a crowd in just a few batches — no campfire required, no smoke in your hair, and no bug spray necessary. Honestly, it might be the most low-stress dessert I make all summer. Set out all the extra toppings in a buffet line or family style at the table. Let everyone custom-make their own “tops,” so that each person gets their own individualized, perfect s’more! This would be such a fun at-home group date night or even for a special family treat. It’s also one of my favorite desserts to bring to a BBQ when you want something that feels special but doesn’t require you to babysit a grill all evening. And if you happen to have leftover s’mores makings lingering in your pantry afterward, might I suggest turning them into a batch of s’mores bread pudding? You’re welcome.

If you don't have a flame, broil the marshmallows separately on a parchment-lined sheet for 30-60 seconds, watching constantly, as they burn fast.Place a toasted marshmallow on top of each chocolate-topped cracker. Add any optional fillings now, such as strawberry slices, bacon, a smear of peanut butter, or caramel drizzle.Sprinkle each marshmallow with a pinch of flaky sea salt, then top with the remaining 12 graham cracker squares.

Notes For an extra gourmet touch, dip the assembled s'mores halfway in melted chocolate and let set on parchment for 5 minutes before serving. If using wooden skewers to toast marshmallows, be sure to soak them in water first to prevent burning.
