💛 Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Fast and easy. Just a minute or two under the broiler is all it takes to make these Broiler Smores. They are even quicker than our Golden Graham Smores Bars.
- Make several at once. Skip making them one by one and prep a whole tray at once. Perfect for parties, sleepovers, or family movie night.
- Simple ingredients. You only need three classic ingredients to make s'mores. No extras, no fuss, just simple and delicious.
🛒 Ingredients
Graham crackers. Use your favorite variety. Honey grahams are classic, but cinnamon or chocolate work well too. If you have extras, try a No Bake Graham Cracker Crust for desserts like No Bake Kool Aid Pie or Lemon Bars with Graham Cracker Crust.
Large marshmallows. Regular large marshmallows work best under the broiler, though other sizes can be used if needed.
Hershey chocolate bars. Milk chocolate is the classic choice for s'mores and gives the best melty results.
See the recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.
💰 Budget-Friendly Tips
Use store-brand graham crackers and marshmallows. Generic versions are much cheaper and taste just as good once melted.
Swap the chocolate. Chocolate bars, chocolate chips, or leftover holiday candy all work, helping you use what you already have instead of buying new.
Keep portions simple. One marshmallow and a small chocolate portion per s'more keeps this treat affordable without sacrificing that classic gooey bite.
🥄 Instructions for Broiler Smores
Step 1: Turn a single graham cracker into two squares by breaking it down the middle. Repeat for the other graham crackers as well.
Step 2: Place 6 of the graham cracker squares onto a baking sheet, evenly spaced.
Step 3: Open a Hershey chocolate bar and break it into rows of 3. There should be 4 rows. Top all of the graham cracker squares with a row of 3 chocolate pieces.
Step 4: Top them each with a large marshmallow right there in the center of the chocolate.
Step 5: Place the baking sheet into the oven and set it to Broil on High.
Step 6: Let cook for 2-3 minutes or until the marshmallows are cooked to your liking. Then remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Step 7: Top your smores with their remaining graham cracker pieces and smoosh down to attach.
Step 8: Place them on a plate or eat them right off the pan. Be careful; they're warm!
Enjoy your gooey chocolate treat!
👩🏻🍳 Expert Tips
- Chocolate options. Use any chocolate you like, from classic Hershey bars to Reese's cups or other favorites.
- Handle carefully. Move the pan in and out of the oven gently so the marshmallows do not roll off and make a mess.
- Watch the broiler. Marshmallows toast fast under the broiler and can burn in seconds. Keep a close eye on them and remove once they reach a golden brown.
❄️ Storage and Make Ahead
Storage: Broiler Smores are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
Make Ahead: You can prep graham crackers and chocolate ahead of time, but broil marshmallows just before serving for the best texture.
🥗 Side Dishes or Pairing Ideas
Oven broiled s'mores pair well with fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas, salty snacks such as pretzels or popcorn, and simple campfire-style treats. Broiler Smores are also perfect alongside hot chocolate, milk, or iced coffee.

❓ Broiler Smores FAQs
Roasting s'mores without a fire pit can be done on the stovetop, in the oven, microwave, or toaster oven. Skewer marshmallows for stovetop or oven roasting, broil in the oven, microwave briefly, or use a toaster oven on low heat. While these methods work, they lack the traditional smoky flavor.
When toasting marshmallows in the oven, set to broil, and place them on a parchment-lined sheet. Broil for about 1-3 minutes, rotating as needed. Once golden brown, remove. Check frequently to prevent burning.
If you heat marshmallows for too long or at too high a temperature, they can break down and lose their structure. When they melt and then re-solidify, they might become chewy instead of retaining their characteristic soft and fluffy texture.
