Add-Ons That Take Sheet Pan Smores Over the Top

  • Use a kitchen torch for perfectly caramelized marshmallows without turning on the oven.
  • Prepare the s'mores base ahead of time and store in an airtight container, then bake just before serving for maximum freshness.
  • Swap traditional graham crackers with gluten-free graham-style crackers or use gluten-free cookie alternatives like almond flour cookies.
  • Experiment with different chocolate varieties like dark chocolate, mint chocolate, or even peanut butter cups for unique flavor combinations.
  • For a lighter version, use dark chocolate with higher cocoa content and swap regular marshmallows with sugar-free or vegan marshmallow alternatives.

Serving Sheet Pan Smores for Parties or Movie Nights

  • Campfire Gathering Plate: Serve these gooey sheet pan s'mores on a rustic wooden board for a nostalgic outdoor dining experience that brings everyone together.

Keep Sheet Pan Smores Fresh and Tasty Overnight

  • Store leftover sheet pan s'mores in an airtight container inside the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Wrap each piece individually with plastic wrap to maintain freshness and prevent sticking.
  • Carefully layer s'mores between sheets of wax paper inside a freezer-safe container. Freeze for maximum 1 month. Thaw at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before enjoying to restore original texture.
  • Keep s'mores at ambient temperature for short periods, ideally within 4 hours of preparation. Place on a covered plate away from direct sunlight to prevent chocolate melting.

Description

Gooey marshmallows melt alongside rich chocolate in this sheet pan s’mores recipe that brings campfire magic right to kitchen counters. Graham cracker crunch and melted chocolate create an irresistible dessert you’ll devour in moments.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 graham crackers (halved)
  • 2 bars (4 oz/113 g) Hershey’s chocolate (broken into pieces)
  • 1.5 cups (360 ml) mini marshmallows (or large marshmallows cut in half)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) caramel sauce (optional, for drizzle)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) crushed graham crackers (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange graham cracker halves in a uniform grid, creating a sturdy foundation for the delectable treat.
  2. Layering: Strategically distribute chocolate pieces across each graham cracker base, then generously sprinkle mini marshmallows over the chocolate, ensuring complete coverage.
  3. Transformative Baking: Slide the sheet pan into a preheated oven at 375F (190C) and allow the ingredients to meld together, watching carefully as marshmallows transform into golden, slightly puffed morsels with a caramelized exterior, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  4. Finishing Touch: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the s’mores cool for a brief moment, allowing the chocolate to set slightly and the marshmallows to maintain their delicate, molten texture before serving.

Notes

  • Watch closely during the last 1-2 minutes of baking to ensure marshmallows turn golden brown without charring, as they can quickly go from perfectly toasted to burnt.
  • Use chocolate bars broken into squares for even melting and better coverage across graham crackers, ensuring a smooth, consistent chocolate layer.
  • Experiment with different chocolate types like dark, milk, or white chocolate, or add crushed nuts, caramel bits, or flavored chocolate for unique taste combinations.
  • Swap regular graham crackers with gluten-free graham crackers or use gluten-free cookie alternatives to make the recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
