Oreo S’mores
I have found that the word s’mores instantly evokes a visceral scene of a warm evening, sprawled around a campfire, toes dusted with sand, stars twirling above, and laughter that echoes for miles. I look forward to this Summer treat, each season including this twist on the classic. Swapping the graham for an Oreo and adding a hint of sea salt, believe me when I say you’ll be enjoying them all Summer long.
Why You'll Love This
A nostalgic classic with a twist — Oreos and a hit of sea salt turn a familiar treat into something a little more interesting.
No graham crackers required — One less thing to remember to buy or pack for a campfire night.
Works indoors or out — Roast marshmallows over a campfire or right on a gas stovetop.
Key Ingredients
Double-stuffed Oreos — The extra cream acts almost like the glue that holds everything together, and gives more texture than a plain graham cracker.
Hershey's chocolate — Melts against the warm marshmallow for the classic gooey center.
Marshmallows — Roasted until golden and gooey, they're what makes this a s'more instead of just a cookie sandwich.
Flaky sea salt — A small addition that cuts the sweetness and gives the whole thing a slightly more grown-up finish.
Oreo S’mores
Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 2 minutes per marshmallow | Makes as many as you like
Ingredients:Let the marshmallow sit for a second before sandwiching so its heat melts the chocolate without the marshmallow falling apart.
1 package of Oreo’s (I prefer double-stuffed)
3 bars of Hershey’s chocolate (or whichever bar of chocolate you prefer)
1 package of marshmallows
Flaky sea salt
Instructions:
Separate the desired amount of Oreos in half. Layer on 1-2 pieces of chocolate on one side of the Oreo. Proceed to roast your marshmallow over an open fire or your gas stovetop. Once pillowy and golden, layer the mallow on top of the Oreo with the chocolate pieces and sprinkle with a touch of sea salt. Let the marshmallow sit for a second before sandwiching so its heat melts the chocolate without the marshmallow falling apart. Press the top Oreo gently rather than squeezing hard, so the filling spreads evenly instead of squishing out the sides.
Tips for Success
Use double-stuffed Oreos if you can find them — the extra cream helps hold everything together.
If roasting over a gas stovetop, use a long skewer, keep the flame on low-medium, and rotate constantly for even color.
Work in small batches so the chocolate doesn't fully harden before you assemble each one.
Ways to Serve It
Around a campfire — Obvi! The classic way to enjoy these, made one at a time as you go.
On a movie night — Roast marshmallows over the stove for an easy indoor version.
As a s'mores bar — Set out a few cookie and chocolate options for guests to build their own at a party.
For a bake sale or potluck — Assemble a batch ahead of time to bring along.
With hot cocoa or coffee — A simple, cozy pairing for a fall or winter night.
Storage
These are best eaten right away, while the marshmallow is still warm and gooey. The unassembled components — Oreos, chocolate, and marshmallows — keep well at room temperature in the pantry for weeks. Once assembled, they don't store well, since the marshmallow firms up as it cools.
Swaps and Substitutions
Chocolate: Any milk or dark chocolate bar works in place of Hershey's, or try peanut butter cups for a twist.
Cookies: Chocolate wafer cookies or golden Oreos make a good swap for a different flavor.
No fire needed: Use marshmallow fluff spread directly on the Oreo instead of roasting a marshmallow, for a version that doesn't require any heat.
Extra flavor: Add a thin spread of peanut butter or Nutella along with the chocolate.
