Storage and Serving
Store the leftover s’mores ingredients separately
Serve these patriotic treats as a dessert with our Patriotic Soiral Hot Dogs.
Tips for the Best S’mores
Move the oven rack to the highest position closest to the broiler element. My broiler works well at 500° F.
For perfectly toasted marshmallows, watch them closely! They can go from golden brown to burnt very quickly.
To prevent the chocolate from becoming too melty, you can pop the chocolate in the freezer for 15 minutes before broiling.
S’mores will be hot out of the oven, let them cool for a minute or two before serving.
