🤔 FAQs
These are the questions we are most frequently asked about making S'more bars recipe in the oven.
Yes! Marshmallows can be toasted in the oven by placing them on a baking sheet (or in this case, over the cracker crust in a baking dish) and setting the oven to broil until they are golden brown.
Yes, you can. Skewer the marshmallow and toast it over the open flame on the gas oven. Once golden and soft, assemble the s'more with a Graham cracker and piece of chocolate. It’s that easy!
S’mores can be roasted over an open campfire flame using a metal skewer or wooden skewer that’s first been soaked in water. You can also roast your s’mores in the oven, over a gas stovetop, or even use a blow torch!
Whenever I think of a s’more I think about an open campfire and that’s because they’re traditionally made over a campfire flame, roasting the fluffy marshmallow so that it’s golden brown and gooey. The marshmallow is then sandwiched between pieces of chocolate bar and two Graham crackers.
👩🏻🍳 Tips
- I deliberately didn’t use milk chocolate chips in this S’mores Bake recipe since this dessert is already very sweet!
- Lining the baking dish with parchment paper reduces cleaning and will also help you lift the S’more bake out of the baking dish to slice.
- Stored frozen S’mores Bake can be thawed in the refrigerator and served chilled or reheated in the oven, covered with aluminum foil.
- I’ve used parchment paper to line the baking dish but you could use aluminum foil instead.
- You can easily halve this recipe and use an 8x8-inch baking dish.
📚 Variations
- I’ve used a 9x13-inch baking dish for this dessert which creates a decent thickness to each s’more bar. You could use a larger dish but then you will end up with a slightly thinner slice and you may also need to adjust the cooking time.
- The chocolate chips can be replaced with chopped up Hershey’s chocolate bar.
- For an extra decadent s’mores bake, drizzle some melted chocolate over the baked and cooled S’mores bake just before refrigerating for 30 minutes.
- Add some cocoa powder to the buttery crushed cracker crust for a chocolatey S’mores Bake.
- Double the number of slices to 30 by simply slicing smaller bars - great if you are serving at a party as a sweet appetizer.
- If you don’t have mini marshmallows, cut regular marshmallows down to size.
🥫 Storage
Store the entire S’mores bake in the baking dish, covered with plastic wrap, or wrap individual s’more bars in plastic wrap to store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
