    My husband and I went out to eat recently, and for dessert, we were ordered s'mores. It was so much fun roasting marshmallows at our table, getting our fingers sticky, and dropping crumbs everywhere. We were laughing the whole time!

    I decided to try my hand at making s'mores at home, too. And it turned out to be pretty simple! Indoor S'mores are super easy to make and are perfect for serving at a summer party or on a snowy night at home with the family. No campfire needed!

    The cool things about making s'mores indoors is that you can totally customize them with your favorite chocolate! Go the traditional route with milk chocolate s'mores or experiment a little. I chose three different kinds of chocolate: peanut butter cups, dark chocolate, and salted caramel chocolate.

    It was so much fun roasting marshmallows inside and trying the different flavors. My husband and I each had our own faves, and once you try this fun recipe, so will you!

    • Indoor S'mores ... 3 Ways!

    Ingredients

    You only need three simple ingredients to make these scrumptious homemade S'mores inside:

    • Marshmallows - Of course, a bag of fluffy marshmallows is a key ingredient.
    • Chocolate - Don't forget the chocolate! We always made s'mores with Hershey's Milk Chocolate growing up, but this is one place you can have fun with different flavors. I also used peanut butter cups, dark chocolate, and a salted caramel chocolate bar when testing this recipe (all delicious).
    • Graham Crackers - Classic graham crackers hold everything together. If you want to experiment a bit, try using other flavors, too.

    Vegan Option

    The ingredients in s'mores are typically not vegan-friendly (or even vegetarian-friendly, in the case of marshmallows). With a few simple substitutes though (try these vegan marshmallows, dairy free chocolate, and graham crackers), everyone will be happy!

    You'll Also Need

    You'll need some skewers, plus one of the following items to cook the s'mores inside:

    • S'mores Kit - If you plan to make this recipe a lot, it's definitely worth purchasing a special kit that has everything you need (from the cooking source to the skewers).
    • Gas Stove - A gas stove is easy to use, but you will need to be careful with the flame (especially with kids).
    • Broiler - You can also easily use your oven's broiler.
    • Microwave - While you can't really toast marshmallows in your microwave, you can definitely get them pleasantly ooey and gooey!
    • Hibachi - A mini hibachi works great for cooking the marshmallows. This is actually what my husband and I used on the date that inspired the recipe, and it was so fun!
    • Fireplace - Have a wood burning fireplace? You'll need some long skewers (and lots of care), but it will definitely work.

    How to Roast Marshmallows Indoors

    If you've ever wondered how to roast marshmallows at home (without a campfire), this recipe is for you! You'll find a detailed recipe card below, but here's an overview of the steps:

    1. Prepare graham crackers + chocolate. Before cooking the marshmallows, set up your graham cracker halves and top them with a piece of chocolate. That way, you can quickly add the hot marshmallow as soon as it's toasted.
    2. Toast marshmallows. Next, you'll cook the marshmallows. If you're using a gas stove (try med-low heat), hibachi, or fireplace, place your marshmallow on a skewer, then hold it over the flame to cook. For the broiler or microwave, place the marshmallow on a graham cracker half first. Then broil until toasted (watch closely), or microwave for a few seconds until melted.
    3. Finish. To serve your s'mores, place the cooked marshmallow on a square of chocolate, sandwiched between two graham crackers halves. Smoosh together and enjoy!

    And that's all there is to it, time to enjoy your yummy Indoor S'Mores! How do you like your marshmallows: perfectly golden or a little charred?

    PRO TIP: To make your chocolate extra gooey, stick it on a graham cracker and pop it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds before adding the marshmallow. Yum!

    Variations

    This recipe is so fun to experiment with! Here are some ideas to try:

    • Chocolate - Classic Hershey's Milk Chocolate is delish, but why not play around with different types of chocolate, like dark chocolate or toffee? You could even do a taste test! We made our s'mores three ways, using peanut butter cups, dark chocolate, and a salted caramel chocolate bar when testing this recipe. All were delicious, but the peanut butter cup was my favorite!
    • Graham Crackers - You can also use different varieties of graham crackers, including plain, honey, chocolate, and cinnamon.
    • Marshmallows - Why not choose another flavor to really shake things up? Try these strawberry, toasted coconut, or color changing marshmallows for starters!
    • Vegan - For a vegetarian and vegan-friendly option, make sure to use vegan marshmallows, dairy free chocolate, and graham crackers.
    • Indoor S'Mores Bar - Set up a fun bar at your next party with all these different chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker options, then let the fun begin! This indoor cooking kit would be perfect for a party.

    • 4 marshmallows
    • 4 graham crackers, halved
    • 1 chocolate bar

    Equipment

    • skewers for roasting marshmallows

    Instructions

    • Turn a gas burner to medium-low heat. (If you don't have a gas stove, see recipe notes below for tips.)

    • When the marshmallow is toasted, sandwich it between two graham cracker halves with a piece of chocolate.
    • Serve immediately. Enjoy!

    Notes

    Calories will vary depending on the different brands of ingredients and type of chocolate you use.
    Don't have a gas stove? Cook the marshmallows in your fireplace, over a mini hibachi, or with a special indoor s'mores kit instead. You could also place the marshmallow on a graham cracker half, then melt in your microwave or cook them under your oven's broiler.
    Have fun experimenting with different types of chocolate! Classic Hershey's Milk Chocolate is delicious, of course, but we made ours using peanut butter cups, dark chocolate, and a salted caramel chocolate bar.
    To make the chocolate extra gooey, stick it on a graham cracker and pop it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds before adding the marshmallow.

    Thanks, Andi! He was a somewhat reluctant model, and kept asking when he was going to actually get to eat the s'mores ... ha ha;)

    The one things I miss about living in NY is my gas stove. I love the idea of this, but alas, in Miami electric is all the rage. Maybe one day we will be able to try this!

    Ah ... the gas stove is one of the things I love about my apartment. When I lived in San Francisco we didn't have one, so I'm really appreciating it now:) You could always microwave the marshmallows - anything for a s'more, right?

    This looks like such a fun dessert option! We don't have a gas stove (I wish we did) so we'll have to make them in the microwave. We will be staying in on Valentine's Day and this looks like the perfect dessert for a night in!
