How to Make the Best S’more

The perfect s’more comes down to flavor balance, texture, and heat source. While the original version combines toasted marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers over a fire, today’s kitchen appliances make it easy to recreate and elevate the experience indoors. Here's how to adapt it into baked, air-fried, or waffled treats for modern convenience.

Key Elements of a Great S’more:

By swapping in different bases and cooking tools, you preserve that gooey-crunchy flavor while making prep cleaner and safer indoors.
