Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 graham crackers
- 4 vegan marshmallows
- 4 squares dark chocolate
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your campfire or grill by creating a stable, medium-hot fire with glowing embers. If using indoor equipment, preheat a grill pan or broiler.
- Break each graham cracker in half to create square bases for your s'mores. Arrange the graham cracker halves on a clean surface or serving plate.
- If using peanut butter, spread a thin layer on one side of half of the graham cracker pieces for extra flavor and richness.
- Carefully skewer each vegan marshmallow onto a long metal roasting stick or fire-safe skewer.
- Hold the marshmallow about 4-6 inches above the fire, rotating slowly to ensure even browning. Look for a golden-brown exterior with a soft, melty interior.
- Once the marshmallow is perfectly toasted, immediately place it onto a graham cracker half with a square of dark chocolate.
- Using another graham cracker half, gently press down and slide the marshmallow off the skewer, creating a sandwich.
- Allow the s'more to rest for 30 seconds, letting the chocolate slightly melt from the marshmallow's heat.
- Serve immediately while warm, repeating the process for each serving.
- Optional: For indoor preparation, you can toast marshmallows under a broiler or using a kitchen torch, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Tips
- Marshmallow Mastery: The key to perfect s'mores is patience when toasting. Rotate slowly and aim for an even, golden-brown color without charring.
- Chocolate Melting Hack: For extra gooey chocolate, place the chocolate square on the graham cracker near the fire's warmth for a few seconds before adding the marshmallow.
- Peanut Butter Power: The optional peanut butter adds a decadent layer of flavor - don't skip it if you love rich, creamy textures!
- Indoor Alternative: No campfire? No problem! A broiler or kitchen torch works perfectly for toasting marshmallows.
- Prep in Advance: Set up your graham cracker bases and chocolate beforehand to make the s'mores assembly smooth and quick.Pro tip: Keep a close eye on your marshmallows - they can go from perfectly golden to burnt in seconds!
