While making s'mores traditionally involves toasting marshmallows over an open flame, you can still make a version of s'mores in a microwave. Here's a simple method to make microwave s'mores:
Ingredients:
- Graham crackers
- Marshmallows
- Chocolate bars or chocolate chips
Instructions:
Break the graham crackers in half to create the top and bottom pieces of your s'mores.
Place the bottom half of a graham cracker on a microwave-safe plate.
Put a marshmallow on top of the graham cracker. You can use a regular-sized marshmallow or cut a large marshmallow in half.
Microwave the marshmallow and graham cracker for a few seconds at a time. Microwaves vary in power, so it's best to start with short bursts of around 5-10 seconds to avoid over-expanding or burning the marshmallow.
Keep a close eye on the marshmallow as it heats up. The marshmallow will expand and puff up as it gets warm. If it expands too much, stop the microwave and proceed to the next step. Be careful not to overcook the marshmallow, as it can quickly become a sticky mess or catch fire.
Remove the plate from the microwave, and while the marshmallow is still hot, place a piece of chocolate on top. You can use a chocolate bar or sprinkle some chocolate chips.
Take the top half of the graham cracker and place it on the chocolate, pressing it down gently to create a sandwich.
Allow the s'mores to cool for a few moments before eating, as the marshmallow will be very hot.
Enjoy your microwave s'mores!
Keep in mind that microwave s'mores won't have the same toasted or caramelized flavor that you get from roasting marshmallows over a fire, but they can still be a delicious and quick alternative.
