What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 12 Oreo cookies (regular or Double Stuf)
- 6 large marshmallows (cut in half or use mini marshmallows)
- 12 small chocolate pieces (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or chocolate chips)
Tools:
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or aluminum foil
- Butter knife (to open Oreos if needed)
- Broiler or oven
Pro Tips for Perfect Oreo S’mores
- Use Double Stuf Oreos: The extra filling makes these even gooier and more indulgent.
- Control the Toast: Watch the marshmallows closely while broiling—they can go from perfectly golden to burnt in seconds.
- Customize Your Chocolate: Milk chocolate is classic, but dark chocolate or even white chocolate adds a fun twist.
- Warm Oreos First: If you want softer cookies, warm the Oreos on the baking sheet for a minute before adding the marshmallows.
- Add a Flavor Boost: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers, peanut butter, or caramel sauce inside for extra layers of flavor.
Substitutions and Variations
- Marshmallows: Use mini marshmallows or vegan marshmallows for dietary preferences.
- Oreos: Swap traditional Oreos for flavored ones like Mint, Birthday Cake, or Peanut Butter for a fun twist.
- Chocolate: Replace the chocolate with Reese’s cups, caramel squares, or Nutella for something different.
- Indoor Campfire Feel: Add a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers to mimic the campfire s’mores vibe.
Make Ahead Tips
- Prep Ahead: Assemble the Oreo S’mores up to the marshmallow step and keep them covered until ready to broil. Then pop them in the oven to finish when you’re ready to serve!
- Leftovers: While these are best enjoyed warm, you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and gently reheat them in the oven.
Instructions: How to Make Oreo S’mores in the Oven
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to broil and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the Oreos
Carefully twist apart each Oreo to create two halves. Place the bottom halves (with the cream side up) on the lined baking sheet. Set the other halves (the tops) aside.
Step 3: Add Chocolate and Marshmallows
Place a piece of chocolate (or a few chocolate chips) on top of the cream side of each Oreo. Top the chocolate with half a marshmallow (cut side down) or a few mini marshmallows.
Step 4: Broil the Marshmallows
Place the baking sheet in the oven under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and toasted. Watch closely to avoid burning!
Step 5: Assemble the S’mores
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully top each marshmallow-topped Oreo with the reserved Oreo tops. Gently press down to create a sandwich.
Step 6: Serve Warm
Enjoy your Oreo S’mores immediately while they’re warm and gooey!
Leftovers and Storage Tips
- Storage: Store any leftover Oreo S’mores in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheat: To revive their gooey texture, pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in the oven at 300°F for a few minutes.
