Smores recipe oven baked ingredients:
- Graham crackers

What happens to marshmallows in the oven?
Marshmallows in the oven will eventually expand and melt, so you can only toast them in the oven for 3-5 minutes when making oven smores (or any kind of smore bake). When making oven baked smores, keep an eye on your marshmallows!
How long should you put marshmallows in the oven?
If you’re toasting marshmallows with the broiler, only leave them in the oven for 1-2 minutes because they will quickly burn and may even catch fire because the burning sugar gets so hot. If you’re toasting them in the oven (making a roasted marshmallow in oven like with smores), you can leave them in a little longer, around 3-5 minutes.
How long to make s’mores in oven can vary based on your oven, so definitely keep an eye on your dessert s’mores the first time you cook smores this way!

How do you roast marshmallows indoors?
You may be wondering how do you make S mores without a torch or roast the marshmallows indoors. If you want that roasted marshmallow taste and effect like when roasting marshmallows on a campfire, then roast marshmallows in the oven using the broiler setting before adding the top graham cracker or the square of chocolate. But, watch closely! Marshmallows burn within a couple of minutes!
This will create a golden brown marshmallow and add that traditional smore recipe over campfire flavor to these indoor dessert recipes.
Roasting marshmallows indoors can also be done easily using this.
