Indoor S’mores
Alright, guys, get ready to cozy up with a classic everyone loves – Indoor S’mores! This recipe is all about bringing those campfire vibes indoors without setting anything on fire (hopefully). Think gooey, melty chocolate, marshmallows, and that nostalgic, crispy graham cracker crunch all layered up in one bite. It’s like a s’mores hug for your soul, any time of year. And if you’ve ever watched your marshmallow fall into the flames and felt weepier than you care to admit, this one’s for you.
So, let me tell you, my husband and kiddos go absolutely bonkers for these. It’s like I’ve cast a magical spell with graham crackers and chocolate. One night, mid-week disaster looming, I whipped them up instead of our planned healthy dinner (it was definitely gonna be soup…again), and now they beg for these every Thursday. It’s become this weird family ritual where we’re all messier, stickier, and, let’s be real, much happier. The joy of eating them right off the tray as we relive our favorite camping fails is basically a staple family bonding moment now. Bless these Indoor S’mores.

1. No open flames required – seriously, no one’s burning their fingers off tonight!

How to Make It
Alright, here we go – this isn’t rocket science. Break out a baking dish and throw down a layer of graham crackers like you’re laying the foundation for the house of your chocolate-covered dreams. Slap on some chocolate bars – don’t skimp. Yeah, I know you’re thinking of saving some for later, but just go for it. Plop another layer of graham crackers and then the marshmallows. Lots of marshmallows…because why not? Now, pop that beauty in the oven just until things are gooey and browned. It’s like magic happening right in your oven. You’ll smell it, trust me. And, important: do not leave the room because you might end up with too crispy marshmallows – my smoke alarm is on a first-name basis for a reason.
Ingredient Notes
– Graham Crackers: Your sturdy base! Get the honey kind or cinnamon if you’re feeling adventurous. Once used cardboard-y low-fat ones — yeah, let’s not do that again.
– Chocolate Bars: Go for the good stuff! I say, milk chocolate because it melts beautifully, but if you only have dark on hand, that’s cool too… you’ll just have a more sophisticated s’more.
– Marshmallows: Pile them high. I tried mini ones once, thinking they’d be easier… nope, they just caught fire quicker.
Recipe Steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Arrange a layer of graham crackers in a baking dish.
3. Place chocolate bars evenly over the graham crackers.
4. Top with another layer of graham crackers.
5. Sprinkle with marshmallows generously.
6. Bake until marshmallows are gooey and golden brown – about 10 minutes.
7. Let cool slightly… or just dive in and burn your tongue. Been there.
What to Serve It With
Honestly, these are stand-alone stars, but if you’re feeling fancy, drizzling a bit of chocolate sauce or whipped cream can’t hurt.
Tips & Mistakes
If you’ve had one glass of wine too many and forget them in the oven, the crispy charcoal effect is real, and not delicious. Keep an eye on them!
Storage Tips
You can store these bad boys in an airtight container at room temp – but do we really have leftovers? If you do and you manage to resist, eating them cold is fun and weirdly chewy (in a good way). Or heck, breakfast champions, you do you. Morning s’mores are genius.
Variations and Substitutions
I once subbed marshmallow fluff for regular marshmallows – it was messy, but still tasty. No graham crackers? Did you know you can use digestive biscuits? I didn’t, until I was desperate and it worked. And for times when the fridge is as empty as my patience, I just layer whatever chocolate cereal I find. Wild times, but hey, it works.
