These easy, everyday s’mores are made in your broiler, no bonfire required. Ready in five minutes, they’re perfect for a speedy, chocolatey dessert. Feel free to swap out different cookies for the graham crackers. Ginger snaps, shortbread, chocolate wafer cookies all work equally well, as do salty crackers like Ritz and Saltines.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place an oven rack 4 inches away from the broiling element. Heat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.

  2. Step 2

    Place graham crackers on the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out. Top half with a piece of chocolate and 1 marshmallow.

  3. Step 3

    Broil until the marshmallows begin to singe on top and the chocolate melts, 1 to 3 minutes depending on your broiler; watch them carefully so they don’t burn (unless you like them blackened, in which case let them broil until they look perfect to you).

  4. Step 4

    Remove from oven and top with remaining graham crackers, pressing down to smush the marshmallows. Serve immediately.

Just tried to make these. A word of advice: Put the rack as low as possible and watch them like a hawk. I put mine on the highest rack and was watching them every few seconds. They caught fire and I had a devil of a time getting the fire out and getting the pan out so my house wouldn’t burn down.

What the heck??? Why oh why have I never done this? I always thought it had to be done with a bonfire, I’m so happy! This is perfect, thank you Melissa!

We've been making oven s'mores for over 20 years. Here are some tips: 1) If you have a toaster oven, use it. It's easier to do there. 2) Put the marshmallows on foil sprayed with Pam. Why? The graham cracker they rest on will get burnt. Another option is to replace the bottom graham cracker with a fresh one (hence do the chocolate after. Thou shall not waste good chocolate.) 3) Consider using Peeps instead of regular marshmallows. The sugar on the outside caramelizes making them extra yummy.

Ditch the chocolate and use a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup

@Melissa in Miami How long do you cook them in the air fryer?

The suggestion by Melissa to use chocolate wafers instead of graham crackers would be wonderful, but my go-to Famous Chocolate Wafers are no longer being made (still feeling somewhat depressed! What were they thinking ?!) Any suggestions for a good replacement for my favorite Famous Chocolate Wafers NYT Cooking folks?

@Laundy King Arthur Flour has a great recipe for dupe chocolate wafers.
