Tips for the Best S’mores Desserts
- 1Use room-temperature chocolate. It softens faster when it meets a hot marshmallow.
- 2Toast with gentle heat. Slowly rotating marshmallows creates a golden outside and a fully melted center.
- 3Watch the broiler closely. Marshmallows can burn in seconds under intense heat.
- 4Balance the sweetness. Dark chocolate, berries, peanut butter or flaky salt keep rich s’mores desserts from tasting one-note.
- 5Add graham crackers last when needed. This keeps crumbs, popcorn mixes and chilled desserts from turning soft too early.
