The air fryer era is officially upon us, and S’mores are getting in on the glow-up. Air fryer S’mores give you all the gooey deliciousness you want from this summertime favorite in just minutes. And they also get the perfect bit of toastiness you’d expect from a campfire!
Pros: Campfire-like toastiness in your kitchen
Cons: Cook times can vary by air fryer, so watch carefully until you've mastered the perfect timing
How long should I air fry my S'more?
All air fryers are slightly different. So are marshmallows! So it's best to keep a close eye on your air fryer S'more. Even though some may take as much as 7 minutes to heat through, check it at the 4-minute mark to make sure it's not burning.

Sometimes you just can’t wait for that sweet taste of summer. When you want S’mores in seconds, look no further than your microwave. This simple recipe makes perfect microwave S’mores when you can’t get to a firepit. And part of the fun is watching the marshmallow puff up in the microwave. But don’t worry, once you stop the microwave, it’ll shrink down and be perfectly ooey, gooey!
Pros: Fast, perfectly melty
Cons: Lacks signature toastiness
How long do you microwave a S'more?
The best way to microwave S'mores is gradually. Make sure the power on your microwave is turned down to medium, then heat your S'more in 10-second increments until it's done cooking. This typically takes around three cycles (or 30 seconds) total.
What is the best chocolate to use for S'mores?
Why, HERSHEY'S Milk Chocolate, of course! It's the perfect thickness and texture to give you that sweet, gooey layer you love in the perfect S'more.
What happens when you microwave marshmallows?
Air is what makes marshmallows so light and fluffy! And those tiny pockets of air expand when you put a marshmallow in the microwave, causing the marshmallow to expand and become puffy.
As soon as the microwave stops, your marshmallow will go back down in size but will remain soft and sticky. Perfect for S'mores!
You use your oven to bake plenty of delicious Hershey recipes, so why not use it to create indoor S’mores?! This method is great for making a batch all at once, no flames or flipping required. If you’re looking for a surprise treat or your campfire plans got rained out, here's a quick and simple recipe to make delicious oven S’mores.
Pros: Great toastiness, can make a few at a time
Cons: Can burn quickly if not watched
Can you make S'mores with a natural gas oven?
Absolutely! The instructions you'd follow for an electric oven apply to natural gas ovens, too.
How long should you put marshmallows in the oven?
If you're using the broil setting on your oven, your marshmallows will start to brown after only 1 or 2 minutes, so keep a close eye on them!

There’s nothing quite like the warmth and beauty of a campfire. But when you’re stuck indoors, your stovetop can bring the heat for gooey S’mores goodness. If you’ve got a gas burner, you’re in luck: roasting your marshmallow over the open flame is like a mini campfire.
For electric burners, you still have options. Your marshmallow won’t flame, but it’ll get warm and toasty with a little patience. Or grab a pan and create a unique stovetop S’mores recipe like a HERSHEY'S Grilled S’mores-wich!
Pros: Gas stovetop closely replicates campfire experience
Cons: Must keep a close eye on kids near open flame
Is it safe to roast marshmallows over a gas flame?
Like with any cooking activity, you should be very careful around heat or open flame. Don't be afraid of getting creative in the kitchen, though! So, as long as you stay alert and cautious, roasting marshmallows over a gas flame is perfectly fine.
Can I use wooden sticks for roasting S'mores?
Yes. In fact, the traditional method is to gather twigs to roast your marshmallows. Whether you’re using a stick from the yard or store-bought wooden skewers, make sure it's long enough to keep your hands at a safe distance from the flame.
If you don’t have a firepit in your backyard, your grill can double as a summertime S’mores station. This easy recipe for S’mores on the grill is a great outdoor alternative. So fire up the grill and get ready for some outdoor S’mores fun!
Pros: Achieves ideal toastiness
Cons: Weather dependent
