Bring the outdoors inside with these easy indoor s'mores! All the same gooey marshmallow and melty chocolate, without the lingering smoky scent. Perfect for rainy days — or really ANY days!
In case you missed it, National S'Mores Day was last week — if you want to mark your calendars for next year, it was August 10th to be exact. As if I need an excuse to enjoy a good s'more...
Most often our s'mores-making is relegated to evenings around a fire pit or campfire, and while that's always fun, it's also fun to surprise the kids with a random little sweet treat like these indoor s'mores.
In fact, my kids just had indoor s'mores for breakfast... Yep, I won't be winning Mom of the Year anytime soon, but at least in their eyes I'm the coolest mom ever.
The truth is making s'mores indoors is infinitely easier than toasting marshmallows over a campfire. You can make an entire tray of them in under five minutes — no mess, no fuss, no burned fingers, and no lingering smoky smell on your hair and clothing!
And no goofy microwave contraption either... Have you seen this?
Indoor S'mores Ingredients
Surely you know the ingredients for s'mores, but in case you've been deprived of this delicacy all your life, the traditional smores recipe consists of:
- graham crackers
- milk chocolate bars
- large marshmallows
Prep your ingredients before starting as things move along pretty quickly. Open the graham crackers and break them in half into squares. Remove the chocolate bars from their packaging and divide them into 4 pieces with 3 rectangles each.

How To Make S'mores Inside
Arrange the graham cracker halves on a foil-covered baking sheet (makes for super easy cleanup!) and top each one with a marshmallow.
Turn on your oven broiler and adjust the top rack to about eight inches from the broiler. Place the tray under the broiler for about 45 seconds to toast the marshmallows.
Don't even think about walking away from the oven at this point!! These babies can go from toasty to charred in no time at all.
For me this meant getting down on my hands and knees to peer into the oven, because my broiler won't operate with the door open. But if you have an older oven, you may be able to crack the oven door to keep an eye on them.
Mmm, this is what you'll have after about 45 seconds — lovely, toasted and perfectly gooey marshmallows.
Now top each roasted marshmallow with a chocolate bar section, making sure to push it down into the marshmallow to flatten it a bit.
In my opinion, a really good s'more has chocolate oozing from the sides. So I stuck the tray back under the broiler for just about 15 seconds, just long enough to soften the chocolate slightly.
You can see that it's still holding its shape at this point but is definitely starting to melt — perfect consistency!
Top the softened chocolate bar with another graham cracker half and voila — ooey-gooey, delicious s'mores in under five minutes.
Surprise your kids with them on a rainy day or as an after school snack! Or even for breakfast if you want to be the coolest mom ever too...
In any case, have plenty of napkins on hand because this is some messy eatin' (but oh, so worth it)!!

A much easier and faster version with even better taste and just as messy, use Nutella instead of chocolate bars and marshmallow fluff spread instead of actual marshmallows. They won't be warm but they are sooooo tasty and super fast and easy!!!!!!!!
Betsey says
Nutella's not safe for folks with a nut allergy; regular Hershey bars are. It does sound yummy, though!
Betsey says
My broiler is in a separate drawer under my oven (gas) so I can't get the pan that far from the heat. Will it work in the oven set to broil? I'd love to make these for an upcoming party.

When I lived in an apartment I used this recipe because I couldn't do an open fire to roast the marshmallows. Great recipe, hits the spot.
