Oven S’mores
by Sommer Collier — last updated on Jun 24, 2026 
Nothing beats a classic campfire s’more… Except maybe being able to enjoy one without building a fire first! That’s why I make these oven s’mores all year long. They’re loaded with melted chocolate and perfectly gooey marshmallows, and they’re every bit as fun to share with family and friends as the traditional version.
For some reason, we only make s’mores during the summer over an open campfire. Why is that?! Hear me out… Gooey chocolatey s’mores should be enjoyed all year round, whenever you’re craving this classic American dessert. That’s why I came up with this easy oven s’mores recipe. No campfire necessary, just your kitchen oven. Stack those crunchy graham crackers with a thick slab of chocolate and a fluffy marshmallow and pop them in the oven. In just two minutes, you’ll have the most PERFECT s’mores! The best part? No messy hands, which is always a huge win in my book. Pair these melty s’mores with a cold glass of milk and maybe even these delicious salted caramel chocolate chip cookie bars, and your sweet tooth will definitely be thanking me!!
RR – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My grandson says it was super, super, super good, and the rest of the family agrees.

Sommer’s Recipe Highlights
No Campfire Required – I love a good campfire, but when you’re of a certain age, your back starts to ache reaching over the fire, the mosquitoes start to get on your nerves, and well, you get the picture. So the fact that I can now make delicious campfire-y smores in the oven is a game-changer for me!
Simple Ingredients – To make this seriously chocolate-y dessert, all you need are three simple, pantry ingredients: graham crackers, milk chocolate, and marshmallows! Just stack, bake, and boom! You’re ready to bite into these gooey treats. Plus, this is the kind of dessert that both adults and kids go crazy over.
Great for Crowds – This is the perfect dessert to make whenever you’re feeding a big crowd. I love to make these sheet pan baked s’mores for birthdays, backyard barbecues, and even movie nights, paired with a big old bowl of my valentine trail mix! These s’mores taste amazing straight out of the oven but are also divine hours later. So you can make them ahead of an event if you like!
Key Ingredients and Tips
- Graham Crackers – To get that signature crisp and sweet top and bottom, you’ve got to use classic graham crackers.
- Marshmallows – For that incredible gooeyness s’mores are known for, make sure to use the big marshmallows.
- Hershey’s Chocolate Bars – And, of course, for that incredible chocolate layer, I always use an all-time American favorite, Hershey’s milk chocolate bars!
PS, If you want to mix things up, I’ll share more ingredient options below.
How to Make
Find the full recipe with ingredient proportions, detailed instructions, and a video tutorial in the printable form at the bottom of the post.
Stack – The first step in this seriously easy recipe is to lay the graham crackers on a lined baking sheet. Then, I top off each cracker with a thick slab of chocolate and a marshmallow. Make sure to place the marshmallow on top of the chocolate, so it gets perfectly toasty under the broiler!
Broil – I pop the baking sheet in the oven and I let them broil for two minutes, until the marshmallows start to brown. Keep a close eye on the s’mores in the oven! Since they are directly under the broiler, they can burn easily! Take them out as soon as they are golden-brown and bubbly!
Sandwich – Once they’re ready, I top them all off with one more slab of graham crackers, and that’s it!
Expert Tips
Before you turn on the broiler, move the racks to the top and middle positions. If the marshmallows aren’t browning on the middle rack, move them up to the top rack, but stack close. They will go dark very fast!
Smores Bar: I’m sharing lots of serving options below… It’s fun to lay out all sorts of ingredients and let everyone in the family build a s’more or two, their way!
Recipe Variations
S’mores in their classic and traditional form are decadent and unbelievably tasty. However, I’ve got a couple trick up my sleeves for spicing these up even more when you’re serving them. Here are a couple of my favorite ways to enjoy these s’mores:
- Ritz crackers – Swap the classic graham crackers with the buttery Ritz kind for an even richer version of this recipe. Pretzel crackers are also a good option!
- Chocolate – Not a fan of milk chocolate? Use dark chocolate instead. Or you can also use Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Caramel squares for another fancy upgrade to the basic recipe.
- Peanut butter – Smear a thin layer of peanut butter onto either end of the graham crackers for a nutty twist.
- Fruit – Add some thinly sliced strawberries, bananas, or chopped blueberries as a layer for a fruity version.
- Caramel – You can see below, that saucing the smores is a deliciously sticky option.
- Coconut – You can also sprinkle on some toasted shredded coconut for a tropical twist of this classic dessert.
- Sprinkles – For birthdays, I love to sprinkle on some colorful sprinkles and even turn these into a stacked cake with a candle on top. It’s such a fun and cute twist on the classic birthday cake… And you can whip it up in just a couple of minutes!
- With ice cream – Serve them hot out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- With a salty snack – If you’re serving these for a fun movie night, try pairing them with some fresh popcorn for a sweet and salty treat!
Storing
Store leftover s’mores in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also keep them fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When you’re reheating these, pop them in the oven on low until the chocolate has softened and the marshmallows are gooey. You can also heat them up in the microwave in short bursts of about five to ten seconds.

Yes, of course! These bubble and brown up just as well as the large kind. Just be sure to pile a little stack of them over the chocolate.
You might have to move the baking pan to a higher rack. Just make sure to be careful because the marshmallows brown very, very quickly!

Recipe worked great. I’m not really a s’mores person and I thought they were good. A couple of notes for others:
1. My broiler only had HI and LOW settings. I used HI for 2 minutes and it worked like a charm.
2. I placed the top graham cracker under the bottom one while it heated up with the rest of the s’more, then put it on top afterward so that all of it was warm.
cAn u put in littke baggies after cool for a bake sale next day?
Hi Karen,
Sure you can – great idea!
your comment on the smore recipes was very funny
So easy and so delicious! The chocolate does get melted, obviously, while in the broiler compared to adding a chunk or two of Hershey’s after the marshmallow has melted from the bonfire. Melty ooooey gooey goodness!
Really easy and man it’s good 👍
Sorry if this has already been asked,but what temperature do you set it on for the broiler? Our oven makes us choose a broil temperature
Hi Christy!
500 degrees F is the standard broiler temperature on those that don’t give you an option. I would stick with that. :)
Hi how do you store them for later use
Hi Gabrielle,
You can place them in a zip bag and store at room temperature for 3-4 days. However, the s’mores are much better fresh.
My grandson says it was super, super, super good, and the rest of the family agrees.
Kid approved-
Fast and not as messy without the campfire smell. Great for when you can’t get a fire to start outside.
Is that an 8th of a Hershey bar? That’s unsettling..
I have some semi-sweet chips I need t use up – since the heating is being done on a flat surface in the controlled environment of the oven, do you think the chips would melt properly for these smores??
Also, what caramel sauce do you suggest for the Ritz cracker version?
Thanks so much!! :)
Hi Deborah,
Sure, you can use chocolate chips! As for caramel sauce, it’s truly a matter of preference. You can pick something thin to drizzle or the thick kind to spread on the top cracker.
