The indoor s’more & “s’more” fun ideas
I thought everyone knew you could microwave s’mores but apparently not everyone does. When I suggested it to my parents while in California, they looked at me like I was crazy.
They do that a lot.
Not everyone has a fire pit at home, and not everyone goes camping regularly (hello! that’s so totally us!), so microwaving s’mores is a great alternative to the classic cooking method of roasting marshmallows over an open flame.
Making s’mores in the microwave is also a great way to eat s’mores all year long no matter the weather (or enjoy a late-night snack once the kids are in bed).

We like to mix things up when we make s’mores. Here are some of our crazy fun ideas. Instead of your typical s’more, try:
- Keebler Fudge Stripes cookies, dark chocolate-covered graham crackers or Girl Scout Samoas in place of your standard graham crackers.
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or the newer Reese’s candy bar-style squares instead of Hershey’s chocolate candy bar.
- Something caramel flavored like pieces of a Caramello bar or Ghirardelli caramel squares.
- Toasted coconut marshmallows or Jet-Puffed‘s flavors of SwirlMallows rather than plain marshmallows.
- Brownies instead of candy bars or candy pieces.
…
Now that you have your fixings, here’s how you go about microwaving them. Be careful—it’s pretty tricky.

Who am I kidding? Microwave s’mores are ridiculously easy. We even let George try his hand at making one and our kitchen survived.
Printable recipe for microwave s’mores below.
- Graham crackers
- Large marshmallows
- Chocolate
- Place a single graham cracker square on a microwave-safe plate or paper towel. Top with a large marshmallow.
- Microwave 15 to 20 seconds on high power or until marshmallow starts to puff.
- Remove from microwave and top with your candy or chocolte of choice followed by a second graham cracker square.
- Let sit just long enough for chocolate to melt and then eat that ooey gooey streat ASAP.

That is the best part–not coming in the house smelling like campfire. :)

We used to do this all the time growing up, but I’ve never seen the new Reeses candy bar! That would be a perfect combination!!

Where have I been, Rolos and Reeses…that sounds divine. Totally going to be trying some different combos in the microwave, because we all know I don’t do the great outdoors. :)

I SO don’t do the great outdoors. A fire pit in the backyard is about as outdoorsy as I get!
