Grilled Smores Recipe

Graham crackers: These are the base of your smores, providing a crunchy texture that complements the gooey filling.

Marshmallows: When grilled, these become perfectly toasted and gooey, adding a delightful sweetness.

Chocolate squares: Melts between the warm marshmallow and graham cracker, creating a rich and creamy layer.

To achieve perfectly golden brown marshmallows without burning them, use a grill basket or a piece of aluminum foil to prevent them from falling through the grates. Keep a close eye on them and rotate frequently for even toasting.

• graham crackers - Substitute with digestive biscuits: Digestive biscuits have a similar texture and slightly sweet flavor, making them a good alternative.

• graham crackers - Substitute with rice cakes: Rice cakes provide a crunchy texture and are a lighter option, though they are less sweet.

• marshmallows - Substitute with marshmallow fluff: Marshmallow fluff can be spread easily and provides the same sweet, gooey consistency.

• marshmallows - Substitute with banana slices: For a healthier option, banana slices offer a creamy texture and natural sweetness.

• chocolate squares - Substitute with chocolate chips: Chocolate chips melt easily and provide the same rich chocolate flavor.

• chocolate squares - Substitute with peanut butter cups: Peanut butter cups add a nutty flavor along with the chocolate, creating a delicious twist.

• Allow the grilled smores to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make the graham crackers soggy.

• Wrap each smore individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps maintain their shape and keeps them fresh.

• Place the wrapped smores in an airtight container. This adds an extra layer of protection against moisture and air.

• Store the container in a cool, dry place if you plan to consume them within a day or two. For longer storage, place the container in the refrigerator.

• If you want to freeze the smores, place the wrapped treats in a freezer-safe bag or container. Label the bag with the date to keep track of their freshness.

• When you're ready to enjoy a frozen smore, remove it from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds to soften the marshmallow and chocolate.

• Avoid reheating the grilled smores on the grill or in the oven, as this can cause the marshmallow to melt too much and the graham crackers to become overly crispy or burnt.

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the grilled smores on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Warm them for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chocolate starts to melt and the marshmallows become gooey again.

• Use a microwave for a quick fix. Place the grilled smores on a microwave-safe plate. Heat them on medium power for 10-15 seconds. Keep an eye on them to ensure the marshmallows don't puff up too much.

• If you have a toaster oven, set it to 350°F (175°C). Place the grilled smores inside for about 3-5 minutes. This method will give you a slightly crispy graham cracker while melting the chocolate and marshmallows perfectly.

• For a stovetop method, use a non-stick skillet over low heat. Place the grilled smores in the skillet and cover it with a lid. Heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until the chocolate and marshmallows are melty and delicious.

• If you have an air fryer, preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the grilled smores in the basket and heat for 2-3 minutes. This will give you a quick and evenly reheated treat.

• Grill: Used to preheat to medium heat and grill the marshmallow-topped crackers.

• Tongs: Handy for placing and removing the graham cracker squares from the grill.

• Spatula: Useful for handling the graham crackers and marshmallows on the grill.

• Plate: To place the grilled s'mores for serving.

• Knife: To break the graham crackers in half to make squares.

• Timer: To keep track of the 1-2 minutes grilling time for the marshmallows.

Preheat the grill: Start preheating your grill while you gather your ingredients to save time.

Use pre-broken graham crackers: Purchase graham crackers that are already broken into squares to skip a step.

Prep marshmallows ahead: Place marshmallows on the graham crackers before you start grilling.

Use thin chocolate: Opt for thin chocolate squares that melt quickly to speed up assembly.

Assemble near the grill: Set up a station near your grill to quickly assemble the s'mores while they’re still hot.
