5 Minute Smoked Smores Recipe

If you are a smores lover and want to make a large batch for a crowd then you need to try this simple tutorial! Get perfectly golden brown and ooey gooey toasted marshmallows with a melted chocolate layer in just 5 minutes. 

Why This Recipe Works

Summer Staple: Smores are essential to the end of any good summer night or backyard party. If the grill is lit, this is the easiest way to make a large batch of smores for the entire group in just a few short minutes. 

Grill Friendly: While charcoal grills and fire pits make it easy to get a perfectly roasted marshmallow, not everyone may have access to one of these open fire options. This recipe is grill friendly for any style (especially if you only have a pellet grill and cannot get a traditional hot coal or open flame). 

Customizable: I love adding a variety of other toppings to my graham cracker and toasted marshmallow combination. Peanut butter cups, caramel sauce, peanut butter, and more! See below how you can mix up this classic for a fun treat for the whole family. 

Supplies Needed 

Foil Pan, Aluminum foil, or Cast-iron Skillet 

Oven Mitts 

Ingredients

Graham Crackers: Use the classic style or a cinnamon and honey flavor. If you’d like to do something not traditional, cookies work great here as a fun option too. 

Marshmallows: I recommend using the standard-size marshmallow (avoid the jumbo or mini marshmallows for this). These will really puff up so keep that in mind. 

Chocolate Bars/ Candy Bars: Go traditional with a few Hershey’s chocolate squares or chocolate of your choice (in a pinch you could even use chocolate chips). Want to switch it up? Get fancy with some peanut butter cups, white chocolate, Oreo cookies, or caramel sauce. Use what you like here or create a smores bar for entertaining with a variety of options for your guests to customize their own.

How To Smoke Homemade Smores

Preparation: Preheat your grill or smoker to 400-425 F. Make sure the smoker is set for indirect heat. If the grill is at a lower temperature it will still work but could take additional time. 

Assembling: I like to use a disposable aluminum tray for easy cleanup up but a sheet pan or cast iron skillet works great here as well. Lay your graham cracker squares down in the pan in an even layer, leaving a little space in between. Top each square with a single marshmallow in the center. 

Smoking: Transfer the pan to the smoker grill grate and close the lid. Smoke for 4 minutes. The marshmallows will puff up and turn a nice golden brown and take on a light smoky flavor. Remove the pan from the grill momentarily.

Melt The Chocolate: To the melted marshmallows, add the chocolate of your choice and top with the second graham cracker square. Return it briefly to the smoker (about 1 minute) to just allow the chocolate to melt and get pressed into the gooey marshmallows. 

Serve: Remove the smores a second time from the smoker and transfer to a plate or serve right off the foil pan. They will go very quickly and were some of the best smores my family said they ever had! 

Expert Tips and Variations

Oven Baked: If you don’t have a grill or smoker you can follow the same steps and bake these the same way in the oven for some delicious indoor smores!

Freshness: For best results make sure your marshmallows and graham crackers are both fresh.

Thin Bars: Thin chocolate bars melt faster and more evenly than thicker ones.

Different Crackers: Substitute graham crackers with chocolate chip cookies, ginger snaps, or digestive biscuits for a different crunch.
