Step 1: Gather Ingredients

1. Prepare 1 large marshmallow, 1 graham cracker (broken in half), and 1 (1.5-ounce) chocolate candy bar.

2. Tip: Break the chocolate bar into smaller pieces if it’s larger than the graham cracker for even melting.

Step 2: Toast the Marshmallow

1. Skewer 1 large marshmallow on a metal or wooden skewer (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning).

2. Hold the marshmallow over an open flame (e.g., campfire, grill, or gas stove) and rotate slowly until it begins to brown and melt, about 1–2 minutes. Aim for a golden exterior and gooey interior.

3. Alternative Methods:

   • Oven: Place the marshmallow on a parchment-lined baking sheet and broil at 500°F (260°C) for 30–60 seconds, watching closely.

   • Microwave: Place the marshmallow on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 10–15 seconds until puffed up (note: it won’t brown).

4. Tip: Toast slowly for even browning, and avoid direct flames to prevent burning. If it catches fire, blow it out gently.

Step 3: Assemble

1. Break the graham cracker in half to create two squares.

2. Place a piece of the chocolate candy bar (about half the bar or enough to cover one graham cracker half) on one graham cracker piece.

3. Carefully slide the hot, toasted marshmallow onto the chocolate, using the second graham cracker half to help remove it from the skewer.

4. Sandwich the chocolate and marshmallow between the two graham cracker halves, pressing gently to spread the melted marshmallow.

5. Tip: Work quickly to assemble while the marshmallow is hot to melt the chocolate slightly.

Step 4: Serve

1. Let the s’more cool for 30–60 seconds to avoid burning your mouth, but enjoy while still warm and gooey.

2. Tip: Serve on a plate or napkin, as the melted marshmallow and chocolate can be messy.
