Introduction
Indulge in the comfort of indoor indulgence while reminiscing about outdoor adventures with our S’mores In The Oven recipe. This twist on the traditional fireside treat replaces an open flame with a simple oven-baked sandwich. Now, you can enjoy the campfire flavors in bulk without even leaving your kitchen!
The Charm of Oven Baked S’mores
Making S’mores In The Oven offers the best of both worlds—an indoor indulgence with a touch of outdoor nostalgia. These oven-baked s’mores have a familiar graham cracker base, filled with a delightful combination of melted chocolate and marshmallow. But we take it a step further by adding extra layers of chocolate and toasted marshmallows on top, chilling the sandwich, and slicing it into delicious squares.
While the classic campfire experience is undoubtedly enjoyable, preparing this dessert in a large batch eliminates the need for sticks and the ensuing mess. Instead, we melt the marshmallows and chocolate on a baking sheet, creating a hassle-free treat that can be enjoyed any time or season, regardless of the weather outside.

How to Make S’mores In The Oven
Follow these simple steps to create this oven-baked delight:
- Create Your Crumbs: In a bowl, thoroughly mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla, ensuring the crumbs are coated well.
- Assemble: Line the bottom of the baking dish with whole graham crackers. Top with a layer of the buttered crumbs. Add a layer of chocolate, mini marshmallows, and another layer of graham crackers. Sprinkle the remaining buttered crumbs over the graham crackers and distribute the chocolate chips on top. Pro Tip: Reserve the remaining mini marshmallows for later.
- Bake: Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 15 minutes.
- Broil: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the reserved mini marshmallows over the chocolate layer. Return the dish to the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes. Pro Tip: Keep a close eye on the marshmallows to prevent burning.
- Chill: Allow the baked s’mores to cool for 20-25 minutes, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Slice And Serve: Slice the chilled s’mores into 16 pieces (4 slices x 4 slices). Serve and enjoy!
