Using a traditional toaster to make s'mores directly may not be the best idea, as it can create a mess and potentially damage your toaster. However, there are alternative ways to make s'mores that involve toasting marshmallows and melting chocolate:
Stovetop: You can toast marshmallows on a stovetop by skewering them on a fork or a metal skewer. Hold the marshmallows over the flame (gas stove) or a low-heat burner (electric stove) until they are golden brown and toasted. Once the marshmallows are ready, sandwich them between graham crackers with a piece of chocolate to make your s'mores.
Oven: Preheat your oven to a low broil setting. Place the marshmallows on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and toast them in the oven, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning. Once they are toasted to your liking, assemble your s'mores with graham crackers and chocolate.
Microwave: While this won't give you the traditional toasted marshmallow flavor, you can place a marshmallow on a graham cracker with a piece of chocolate and microwave it for a few seconds until the marshmallow puffs up and softens. Then, top it with another graham cracker to complete the s'more.
Remember that when using alternative methods to toast marshmallows, always practice caution to avoid burns and ensure proper adult supervision if children are involved.
If you want the taste of toasted marshmallows in your s'mores, it's best to use one of the methods above rather than putting marshmallows directly into a toaster.
