Merriment :: Indoor Smores by Kathy Beymer

So it’s pouring outside right now and I’m craving a smore. Luckily, living in a locale with nine long months of winter has allowed me to perfect the art of indoor smores. And the whole thing takes about five minutes.

Ingredients:

  • Honey Graham Crackers
  • Hershey’s Dark Chocolate (or Milk if you prefer)
  • Marshmallows
  • Baking sheet (I only buy rimmed sheets)
  • Aluminum foil (optional)
  • Oven

Merriment :: Indoor Smores by Kathy Beymer

Instructions for two: First put four graham crackers face-down on your baking sheet. Cut two marshmallows in half to give yourself more toasted flavor, putting them cut-side down onto two graham crackers. Put three squares of chocolate onto each of the other two crackers.

A broiler is like a campfire upside down. Turn your broiler to low, slide in the marshmallows, and toast to your preferred level of brown — it will only need a minutes or two so be sure to watch them. When you get good at this over time, you can crank the broiler to high. Towards the end of your marshmallow toasting, slide in your chocolate pieces for a few seconds to soften them a bit without melting.

Remove from the oven. Put the chocolate cracker on top of the marshmallow cracker and enjoy …rain or shine.

    I just made these s’mores and they are almost better than by campfire! My oven broils by temperature so I broiled the marshmallow sides on 500 degrees for about 1.5-2 min then chocolate sides for about 30 sec. Perfect!!

  2. Kathy Beymer Says:

    I love that idea! I’m definitely going to try a candle next.

  3. Erin Says:

    I had an “why didn’t I think of that” moment when I was at a birthday party a while back and a kid was using a candle to roast his marshmallows.

    I tried this once at a dinner party we were hosting. The evening ended when the marshmallows caught on fire in the oven and we had to get the fire extinguisher out and it made a huge mess everywhere. I’m glad you had better luck!

    Love this! I had asuper craving a few weeks back for smores and luckily we live in CO so it was cool enough for an indoor fire! i am definitely going to keep this dessert coming with this idea!!! fantastic!

  6. Suzanne Says:

    OK this is the best idea EVER!
    I have also made them in the microwave before but it’s just not the same… I can’t wait to try them in the broiler next time!

  7. Merriment :: Kathy Beymer Says:

    Yeah, me too. I make these things way more often than I should, especially during swimsuit season. The broiler’s the best. I use it for lots of things when I want to fake a fire but don’t feel like lighting up the grill. Thanks for reading and keeping me company!

  8. janna Says:

    I am OBSESSED with smores, and usually make them in the microwave. Why it never dawned on me to use the broiler I will never know. Thank you for the new inspiration!
