Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 4 graham crackers
- 2 large marshmallows
- 2 squares of milk chocolate (or your favorite chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon of butter (optional, for greasing)
- 1 microwave-safe plate
- 1 microwave-safe bowl (optional, for melting chocolate)
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter for a smooth cooking process.
- Break the Graham Crackers: Break the graham crackers in half to create four halves for the base and top of your Smores.
- Prepare the Chocolate: If desired, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted (about 30-45 seconds total).
- Lay Out the Base: Place two halves of the graham crackers side by side on your microwave-safe plate.
- Add the Chocolate: Place one square of chocolate on each graham cracker half, or drizzle melted chocolate over the cracker.
- Top with Marshmallows: Place one marshmallow on top of each chocolate square. For a more even melt, consider cutting the marshmallows in half.
- Add the Top Layer: Place the remaining two halves of graham crackers on top of the marshmallows to create a sandwich.
- Microwave Time: Microwave the assembled Smores for about 10-15 seconds, keeping an eye on them as marshmallows can puff up quickly.
- Check for Doneness: After microwaving, check if the marshmallows are puffy and the chocolate is melty. If not, microwave for an additional 5 seconds.
- Let Them Cool: Carefully remove the plate from the microwave and let the Smores sit for about 30 seconds to cool slightly.
- Cut and Serve: If desired, cut the Smores in half for easier sharing. Use a sharp knife for a clean cut.
- Enjoy: Take a big bite and savor the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
Notes
- Experiment with different types of chocolate (dark, white) or add toppings like crushed nuts or caramel for a unique twist.
- For a creamier texture, consider adding peanut butter or Nutella between the chocolate and marshmallow layers.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two, but they are best enjoyed fresh.
