Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are s’mores?

S’mores are a traditional campfire treat popular in the United States and Canada, consisting of a roasted marshmallow and a layer of chocolate sandwiched between two pieces of graham cracker. The name “s’more” is a contraction of the phrase “some more,” as in “I want some more,” reflecting how enjoyable and addictive these treats can be.
Typically, a s’more is made by first roasting the marshmallow over the campfire until it’s warm and gooey inside. Then the marshmallow is placed on a piece of chocolate, which is laid on a graham cracker. The heat from the marshmallow melts the chocolate a bit, and another graham cracker is placed on top to form a sandwich. The resulting treat is a delightful mix of sweet, crunchy, and gooey textures, often enjoyed while sitting around a campfire.

Do marshmallows melt when baking?

Yes, they do! This recipe toasts them under the broiler to get them a nice toasted brown, as if you roasted over a campfire.
