Enjoy a gooey s'more any time of year by making oven baked s'mores. They're the perfect treat for parties and sleepovers and are ready in minutes!
Don't have a campfire handy but craving some s'mores? Golden, perfectly toasted s'mores can be prepared right in your home oven.
Oven baked s'mores are easy to prepare and turn out perfectly warmed and gooey. Not only does the oven create a perfectly toasted, golden marshmallow, but it also melts the chocolate so your s'mores are ready to enjoy right away.
Serve oven baked s'mores for parties, kids sleepovers, or family movie night. There's no need to preheat your oven so they're ready in about 5 minutes!
Ingredients and substitutions
- Graham crackers - Use your favorite flavor of graham crackers to make s'mores. Honey, cinnamon, or chocolate are all excellent choices.
- Marshmallows - Regular size marshmallows work great for a classic s'more. Feel free to use jumbo, square, or stuffed marshmallows to mix things up.
- Chocolate - For a classic s'mores experience, you'll need two Hershey's milk chocolate candy bars to make eight s'mores (you may want more/less chocolate to suit your tastes). Dark chocolate, Reese's, and Ghirardelli squares are other popular options. Chocolate could also be substituted with a dollop of peanut butter or Nutella.
Tips and tricks
- Use parchment paper - For easy cleanup, line your sheet pan with parchment paper before beginning.
- Don't walk away - Stand and watch your marshmallows under the broiler. The entire cooking process takes about 1 to 2 minutes and your marshmallows can burn quickly if left unattended.
- Add variety - Allow family and friends to customize their oven s'mores with variations like cookies, nut butters, and sprinkles.

S'mores will keep for 3-4 days in a tightly sealed container at room temperature but are best served fresh. Since they only take 1-2 minutes to make (and you don't need to preheat your oven), I highly recommend making a fresh batch each time you'd like a s'more.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare s'mores as directed below, then bake for up to 5 minutes, or until marshmallows are puffy and golden brown.
