This is a quick overview of the ingredients you’ll need for this oven s’more recipe. Specific measurements and full recipe instructions are in the printable recipe card below.
- graham crackers – 1 sheet of graham cracker for s’more you want to make

How to make s’mores in the Oven?
- Preheat the oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with as many graham cracker halves as s’mores you want to make.
- Top each graham cracker with 1 large marshmallow. You can cut the marshmallows in half with scissors and place the sticky side down if they are rolling around too much when you move the pan.
- Add the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 1 to 2 minutes until the marshmallow turns golden, or your desired done-ness. Watch closely the whole time as the high heat can burn the marshmallow quickly.
- Remove from the oven and add your chocolate bar and the second half of the graham cracker. Let it sit for about a minute to let the chocolate melt some, then enjoy.
How long does it take to roast marshmallows in the oven?
With the high heat of the oven the marshmallows will cook in the oven in only a couple of minutes. They should be toasted to golden brown in just 1-2 minutes.
What temperature do you roast marshmallows in the oven?
Set the oven to broil, or between 500 and 525 degrees Fahrenheit to give the marshmallows a nice toasted color.
How to store Indoor S’mores?
S’mores are best enjoyed immediately, and because these s’mores can be made in the oven in just a couple of minutes we recommend making only as many as you can eat right away, and not storing them for later.
How to make S’mores in the Oven FAQs
S’more is a contraction of the phrase some more. In a 1920s cookbook it was also called a Graham Cracker Sandwich, but the term s’more came about in honor of it’s practically addictive quality.
Yes, you can roast marshmallows over a fireplace. You will want to ensure your fireplace is clean and has proper ventilation. Carefully open any grates or doors in front of the fireplace and use a long skewer. Watch the s’more closely to cook it to your desired doneness. And watch any embers that might shoot off the fireplace very carefully since you are indoors.
Dark chocolate and milk chocolate are both suitable options for s’mores. You can use your favorite choice of chocolate for the s’more.
Milk chocolate is a classic choice for s’mores, and may melt faster for the s’more because it melts at a lower temperature than dark chocolate.
You can get creative with your s’mores by adding a variety of ingredients to customize them, here are some of my favorites.
– Sliced fruit like strawberries or bananas, or try adding cherry or apple pie filling.
– Peanut butter, Nutella, or Cookie butter – spread it directly on the inside of the graham cracker before assembling the s’more
– Chopped Nuts – such as peanuts, almonds or pecans can add a nice crunch to the s’mores
– Bacon – some people enjoy the sweet and savory flavor combination of bacon in their s’mores (cook the bacon before and add it to the s’more when assembling)
– Your choice of chocolate – try your favorite chocolate bar instead of classic Hersheys. You could use Peanut Butter Cups, Chocolate Caramel Squares, or even Mint Chocolates for fun new flavors.

Enjoy delicious gooey smores year round by making them in your oven!
velovan says
or better yet just put the whole smores together then put them in the oven and let it all melt at the same time together
Joann says
Never would’ve thought this was possible! My twins wanted to do smores, however, the heat & rain made it impossible…I thought. They both loved them, 1 rating them better than over a campfire, the 2nd said it was the same. I differed a bit with putting my graham cracker with chocolate in the microwave for 10 seconds so it would soften faster. I only put my oven on low broil from fear of burning the marshmallows. They came out with a nice toast!!! Awesome idea, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Aimee says
Yes, our broiler has low or high and low works well to not worry as much. Glad your twins love them!
Angela Kitt says
Did this with my kids even added an indoor pop up tent. House camping lol they loved it hubby was amazed.
Aimee says
That’s so fun! So glad you loved it!
Dina says
These were easy to make and delicious! The best part is you can eat them atime of the year.
Gail says
Question;
Do we crack the oven door while broiling or shit the door?
Broil or bake at 350? Last add chocolate after cooking marshmallows or before?
Aimee says
I broiled them with the door close, you just have to watch them the whole time as they’ll toast in about 1 minute. I just add my chocolate to the hot marshmallow and graham and enjoy, like you would if the marshmallow was roasted over the fire.
*LyndiLou* says
I appreciated this quick and easy recipe; it reminded me that I don’t need a campfire to enjoy s’mores with the family. It’s also fun to make a treat for everyone that didn’t take hours to prepare. 🙂
Ashley Nix says
Just made these for the first time tonight! My 3yo has been asking for s’mores all summer but we have had a red flag warning the whole time which meant no s’mores for us :-(. These were a hit and just as good as if they were made over a fire! My son asked if we can have them again tomorrow night 😂
emily says
great recipe
Angela says
Love this! Just tried it and it tasted SO good! Thank you!
Ellen says
We are so glad. Thanks for letting us know.
Oliver says
The best food I have ever had in my life
Emma G says
It worked great! Just keep an eye on your marshmallows and they will turn out amazing.
Shelby says
DO NOT SET OVEN TO BROIL. Just tried this and the marshmallows CAUGHT FIRE within 1 minute. Set to 350 and just be patient
Aimee says
Our ovens must broil at different temperatures because I have never had that issue. Sorry that you did.
Shannon says
Did you leave the oven door cracked open like you’re supposed d to when using broil?
Aimee says
I’ve never heard that you’re supposed to crack the oven door when using broil. You’re broiling these for such a short time that there isn’t anyway the oven is reaching too hot a temperature and the broil feature would turn off, so you should be fine with the door closed.
Tara says
Within ONE MINUTE?!!
Crack the door and broil it for 10-15 seconds. It’ll be perfectly golden brown.
robin says
Huge safety issue !! – always keep the door cracked open when using the broiler / griller.
JAB says
The distance of the rack to the element during broil might’ve had something to do with this. Also gas vs. electric oven. I set my rack low(about 8-10 inches and worked great! Although I prefer them catching fire while outdoors.
Aimee says
Yes, that’s definitely a good tip. I love them slightly charred from the fire too 😉
Jane Saunders says
This is a great hack for when it’s too cold to camp but you want the camping treats.
Noelle says
This is great, the kids loved this!
Lydia @ Suitcase Foodist says
Lovely. We wanted to go camping over the weekend but couldn’t because it was raining like crazy. We should have done this….
