It's never a bad time for smores and with this easy microwavable smores recipe you can enjoy these tasty treats indoors no matter the weather. Within a minute you can be in gooey marshmallow and melted chocolate heaven.
Turn a single graham cracker into two squares by breaking it down the middle. Repeat for the other graham crackers as well.
Place the graham cracker squares onto a microwave-safe plate.
Open a Hershey chocolate bar and break it into rows of 3. There should be 4 rows. Top 4 of the graham cracker squares with a row of 3 chocolate pieces.
Top the remaining 4 graham crackers with a large marshmallow, right in the center.
Place the plate into the micrwoave and heat for about 20-30 seconds or until you notice through the window that the marshmallow is about the same size as the graham cracker.
Stop the cooking and open the door. The marshmallows will shrink somewhat. Pick up one half with chocolate and one half with marshmallow and smoosh them together like a sandwich so that the chocolate and marshmallow are touching.
Enjoy your gooey chocolatey treat!
Notes
Recipe TipsAll microwaves are created differently and vary in strengths so that the proper amount of time will vary per unit. That said you should be able to get a perfect result within the 20-30 second range.You want the chocolate to be softened without melting to the point it runs off the cracker and you want the marshmallow to be about triple in size so that it's soft and fluffy when you bite down into it. If you cook your marshmallow for too long you'll notice a few things happening. One, the marshmallow will continue to grow large and fluffy, but immediately after opening the door, the marshmallow will shrink (as it is supposed to). Next, the marshmallow will cool down while turning into a rather hard sugary rock. VariationsSome fun variations for making s'mores in the microwave would be using a different type of chocolate bar, such as peanut butter cups, Kit Kats, white chocolate, or even Rolos. Changing out the graham crackers for Girl Scout cookies like Thin Mints or Tagalongs is also a good idea for changing up the flavors. Even Striped Keebler Cookies sound like an incredible variation!
