Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Graham crackers
  • 12 graham crackers Halved
Milk chocolate bars
  • 6 milk chocolate bars Broken into squares
Marshmallows
  • 12 marshmallows

Method
 

Campfire setup
  1. Build a campfire or light a fire pit and let it burn down to hot coals. You want steady heat that warms the marshmallow through without heavy flames.
Assemble and toast
  1. Place a piece of chocolate on half of a graham cracker. Set the remaining graham halves aside for topping.
  2. Skewer a marshmallow on a roasting stick and hold it over the coals, rotating slowly, until golden and toasted, about 2–3 minutes. Keep it moving so it browns evenly.
  3. Carefully slide the toasted marshmallow onto the chocolate. Aim for the center so the chocolate can melt and bind.
  4. Top with the second graham cracker half, pressing gently until the chocolate melts. Press just enough to seal without crushing the crackers.
Repeat and serve
  1. Repeat with the remaining graham cracker halves, chocolate, and marshmallows. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

For best results, toast the marshmallow until golden with light browning—pastry-dark or charred spots will taste bitter. Store assembled s'mores at room temperature only briefly (about 1 day); they soften quickly, and freezing is not recommended. If you need a dairy-free version, use dairy-free milk chocolate bars and proceed the same way.
