Sommer’s Recipe Notes
Why We Love Baked Smores
For some reason, we only make s’mores when we go to the lake or beach. Why is that?
It is not from a lack of fire pits at home or a shortage of marshmallow roasting sticks. There is never an issue with hunting down the sophisticated ingredients used for making s’mores. So why do we save this simple, yet utterly divine, treat for camping and beach trips?
Yes, it’s fun to roast marshmallows over an open campfire and press them between graham crackers out of doors. Yet if you are really craving s’mores you can make them right in your oven… In 2 minutes. With less mess.
Today’s How To Make Smores In The Oven recipe is a perfect large-batch treat for parties and movie nights. You can make this recipe any time of the year, without frost-bitten toes or mosquito bites. No sticks required!
Ingredients You Need
Easy Sheet Pan 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.
- Graham Crackers – use gluten-free graham crackers for gluten-free s’mores!
- Marshmallows – the big ones!
- Hershey’s Chocolate Bars – this is the classic chocolate used for s’mores.

Tips & Tricks
- Make sure to place the marshmallow on top of the chocolate, so it gets perfectly toasty under the broiler!
- 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!
- These easy oven-baked s’mores sandwiches are best served when they are warm and melty! If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Then, rewarm them in the oven or air fryer before eating!
Recipe Variations
Try doctoring up your Easy Sheet Pan S’mores with buttery Ritz crackers, dark chocolate, and salted caramel sauce.
This gives you a saltier and more buttery flavor profile, and you could even use a Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Caramel square for another fancy upgrade to the basic recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, you can use any variety of chocolate in your smores in the oven. Readers often mention they like to use Reese’s Cup and Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares in their smores. Either of these could change up the flavor profile of basic s’mores.
These easy sheet pan s’mores are great to serve on any occasion! Make them for a cozy movie night with the family, or serve as dessert for a crowd! If you have a holiday party or birthday party coming up, this is an easy and super fun dessert option for everyone to enjoy.

Ingredients
- 20 whole graham crackers, halved (40 squares)
- 20 marshmallows
- 4 Hershey chocolate bars
Instructions
- Turn the oven on broil. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Place 20 graham cracker squares on the baking sheet. Then place a chocolate square on each graham cracker. Add one marshmallow to each stack.
- Place the sheet pan on the center rack of the oven. Broil the marshmallows for 1-2 minutes. Do not take your eyes off the marshmallows…they can burn fast!
- Once the marshmallows are toasted to your liking, remove the pan and press another graham cracker square down on each stack. Enjoy!
It was too windy for a fire earlier, and by the time the wind calmed we didn’t want to bother. We tried these instead–easy and delicious, and no disappointed granddaughters! This will definitely be a go-to from now on!
Darn it, I was hoping for a simple regular oven recipe. The only broiling I can do in my oven is in a small drawer underneath the regular oven. The marshmallows would almost certainly catch on fire, although I do like a dark roasted marshmallow. I guess I’ll just have to keep doing them over my gas range. :)
My kids love making these. So fun and always delicious!
These come out perfect every single time! Time easy and perfect for when you want to make a lot at one time!
This is really amazing!! My kids instantly got addicted!
super easy and great for indoor movie nights!
So easy to make and taste just as good as a campfire s’mores.
Grandkids thought this was awesome!!! Easy and delicious after dinner treat
First time making this and they came out delicious. My grandkids wants more.
Your missing the temperature???
Hi Suzy,
The broil setting usually has a preset temperature of 500-550 degrees F. Hope this helps!
Send to school?!?!? Where are you right now!!??! How irresponsible! I don’t vaccinate and I DON’T send my kids to school during a pandemic!!!
Hi Karen,
Sorry for the confusion… However, if you read the post you will notice this is actually an old post from several years ago. I am not telling anyone to send their children (or treats) to school right now during a pandemic.
Sommer, I found your recipe today and have ingredients to make this tonight during a family movie. I never thought that you meant for us to violate the law when watching your cute video. Keep the faith and please keep teaching the rest of us how to cook. You are needed more now than ever because we don’t get to go out! God-bless you, Sommer!
You don’t need to apologize. Common sense says this suggestion was before the pandemic ♥️
This is an old post🙄
No one is forcing you to take these to an empty school during a pandemic.
Lol
well karen, for someone so awfully concerned about the pandemic, why not vaccinate so that there’s not another one for a disease easily controlled? guess we can’t expect decent parenting from someone who can’t read a timestamp on a website!
but i digress! thanks for the recipe, these were great 👌
Your name would be Karen too 🙄🤦♀️
The funniest part is your name is ACTUALLY KAREN 😂
Your name suits you..you’re a total Karen 🤣
Thanks for the recipe – delicious!
Super easy and fun! They came out delicious!
