S’mores In the Oven
When you can’t make it around the campfire, this easy and baked s’mores in the oven recipe will take you right back with each bite of gooey marshmallow, melted chocolate, and graham cracker.
You may remember sitting by the campfire squishing your Hershey’s chocolate together with the most perfectly roasted marshmallows between those yummy graham crackers. And nobody cared that your smile extended with chocolate at each end of your mouth. Well, we’re traveling back to those times with this recipe for s’mores in the oven.
I promise it’s a breeze to make. All you need is three ingredients: baking chocolate, graham crackers, and mini marshmallows. You layer the chocolate and marshmallows in the casserole dish and place it in the oven instead of baking each individual s’more over the campfire. But the results are still the same and just as quick (5 minutes only). You get perfectly golden brown marshmallows sandwiched between melted chocolate and graham crackers. What’s not to love, right? I’ve also included more serving suggestions below for this decadent s’mores dip.
Plus, with this recipe, you can enjoy s’mores year-round, which I fully support! This super simple recipe for s’mores in the oven is sure to wow the kids or friends anytime. And I hope you keep smiling with a big ole chocolaty grin! I hope you enjoy it!
Recipe Ingredients
- Semi-sweet baking chocolate
- Miniature marshmallows
- Graham crackers
How to Make S’mores in the Oven
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In a shallow 2-quart baking dish, place the chocolate in an even layer. Sprinkle marshmallows evenly over the chocolate.
Bake until the marshmallows are browned and chocolate is melted, about 4 to 5 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve your oven baked s’mores with graham crackers, of course.
Storage
This is one of these recipes that you can’t really keep for later, but I’m sure there won’t be any leftovers anyway. If you only want to make one or two s’mores in the oven at a time to avoid wastage, check out my recipe notes below.
Recipe Notes
- While I’m all for traditional s’mores, don’t be afraid to change things up with your s’mores in the oven.
- Instead of graham crackers, sandwich the toasted marshmallow and chocolate between Oreos, Nutter Butters, Chip’s Ahoy cookies, or homemade snickerdoodle cookies.
- As this makes more of a s’mores dip, serve it alongside vanilla wafers, strawberries, or even pretzels.
- You can choose any chocolate too, like milk chocolate chips, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, Ghirardelli Chocolate squares (the caramel would be DIVINE), a Hershey’s chocolate bar (of course), dark chocolate, white chocolate, almond bark, or Rolo’s.
- Use marshmallow cream instead of marshmallows, but you’ll need to decrease the baking time as this will turn golden brown quickly.
- You can also normal or jumbo-sized marshmallows cut in half if you like.
- Instead of making a s’mores dip, place the marshmallows on one cracker and the chocolate on the other on a cookie sheet and broil for 1 to 2 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they burn quickly! Then simply make a sandwich and enjoy! Make one at a time or enough for the entire family.

This recipe was featured in Southern Casseroles bake in 2014 and it still tastes just as good today!
Hi Christy-I was finally able to get Come Home To Supper & I’m sitting here reading it & loving it. We’ll be having a lot of new meals this summer & beyond & it’s great to know its normal family meals that won’t break my budget. I’ll have to wait until the beginning of July to order the magazine but am looking forward to another treat. I have your first magazine with an autograph. & love it. Like someone else I was hoping it might be possible to get an autographed book plate but understand its impossible for you to do everything. I’m amazed at all you do. Katy Rose reminds me of my granddaughter, she ‘s about the same age, loves to cook with her mom or me. & has a smile & giggle that lights up the room. Thank you for all you do & all the wonderful meals to come here. Hope you come to Southern Maine or NH someday. I’ll be right in line.
I always look forward to your recipes! Please think of those of us dealing with gluten-free diets sometimes. Since my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac disease, we have had to drastically alter our meals, but we still crave “normal” foods!
Hi Jamie, I haven’t had to deal with gluten issues so I am not well educated on the matter. The great thing about most of my recipes is that they can be easily altered with ingredients of your choice so you should be able to figure out what you can and can’t use based on the knowledge that you have gained in dealing with eating gluten-free. Hope this helps!
Great idea! Do you think semi-sweet chocolate chips would work under the marshmallows? =^..^=
I intend to try that within the next few days, Fran. The chips will probably melt faster, and the marshmallows will possibly not brown enough…but I will choose my baking dish and the oven temperature carefully with this in mind.
why not layer graham crackers underneath the chocolate, top with the marshmallows and bake? I’m thinking you could also top with another graham section when you take it out to eat…bona fide smores without sticks and fire! great idea–definitely got my creative juices going!
Hope you enjoy Melody!!
I bought my copy a few weeks ago at my local grocer. if i make it to Becoming I’ll get you to sign it there. I had hunted down the magazine salesman for two months and asked him to start leaving copies of Taste of the South! he’s a really nice guy once you find him! if i don’t make it to Becoming could i get a signed book plate for the inside front cover? thank you and congrats on a job well done. i always look in the contents/index for your recipes before i buy a magazine…it is a guarantee of quality to see “Christy Jordan” at the beginning of a recipe listing! <3 U 🙂
I will hopefully see you at Becoming, Barbara!! I am afraid I don’t have any bookplates at the moment but if I run across one I will see what I can do.
