How to Make Oven S’mores
These are the basic steps for making indoor oven s’mores recipe. Please refer to the recipe card below for more detailed instructions.
STEP 1: PREP
First, line pan with heavy duty foil with 4 inches overhang off the sides, creating a sling to lift the bars out when they are finished. (Don’t use parchment, the sides will burn under the broiler. Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.)
STEP 2: CRUST
Then in a food processor, grind the graham crackers into crumbs. Pour the crumbs into a large bowl and add the salt and melted butter. Mix together until it resembles wet sand. Add the egg and mix well. Set aside 1/2 cup of the graham crackers crumb mixture.
STEP 3: PRESS
Next, press the crumb mixture into the prepared pan. Bake in a heated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let the crust cool.
STEP 4: MELT
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips or piece of chocolate using a double boiler on the stove or microwave for 2 minutes at medium power, stirring until completely melted and then preheat the broiler.
STEP 5: TOP
Spread the melted chocolate chips evenly onto the crust. Sprinkle the marshmallows onto the chocolate pressing them in a bit. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs onto the marshmallows, getting the crumbs in the spaces around the marshmallows.
STEP 6: SERVE
Finally, place pan 6 inches under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the marshmallows are golden brown. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens slightly, about an hour. Remove the bars by lifting the foil sling, cut into squares. Lastly, serve cold or at room temperature.
