Smores are a traditional dessert from the United States and Canada generally made using a campfire. However, it is certainly not necessary to go camping to enjoy them! Using the oven is one of the easiest ways to make smores at home. It only takes a few minutes to prepare several. If you are impatient, you can use the oven grill instead. Don't have an oven? You can use an electric oven.
Ingrediants
- Digestive biscuits
- Milk chocolate bars
- Marshmallow
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Using an Oven
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 200 ° C
Step 2. Break the digestive biscuits in half
Spread half of the cookies on a baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Set the rest aside. The amount of cookies to use depends on how many smores you want to make. A digestive biscuit is enough to get a smore.
Step 3. Place a marshmallow on each cookie
To keep it from rolling away, place the flat side of the marshmallow on top of the cracker.
Step 4. Bake the smores for 3-5 minutes
They will be ready once the marshmallows are soft and golden.
Step 5. Place a small piece of milk chocolate on each marshmallow
The most suitable chocolate bars for this recipe are those that can be broken into squares. You should be able to use 2-4 squares per smore.
Step 6. Place the other half of the cookie on each smore
Press it gently to get a very compact result.
Step 7. Wait for 1 minute before serving the smores
This way the chocolate will melt and become soft. Also, the marshmallow may cool slightly.
Method 2 of 3: Using the Oven Grill
Step 1. Set the grill function and heat up the oven
Make sure you place the rack in the top third of the oven. The grill function differs from normal cooking as the heat comes from the top of the oven. It also allows you to cook smores much faster.
Step 2. Break the digestive biscuits in half
Place half of each cookie on a baking sheet, leaving a few inches between them. Set the rest aside. The amount of crackers to use depends on how many smores you want to serve. A biscuit allows you to get a smore.
Step 3. Place a marshmallow on each half
To keep it from rolling away, be sure to rest the flat side on the cracker.
Step 4. Bake the smores for 45-75 seconds
Leave the oven door ajar and keep an eye on the marshmallows: remember that cooking with the grill is very fast. They will be ready once the marshmallows are golden.
Step 5. Top each smore with milk chocolate
The most suitable tablets for smores are those that can be broken into squares. You should be able to use 2-4 squares per smore.
Step 6. Finally, place the other half of the biscuit on the marshmallow
Press it gently to get a very compact result.
Step 7. Let the smores rest for 1 minute before eating them
This will give the chocolate enough time to melt and soften, plus the marshmallows can cool slightly.
Method 3 of 3: Using an Electric Oven
Step 1. Set the oven to medium temperature
If the pan is not covered with aluminum foil, take advantage of it to re-coat it now to make cleaning easier.
Step 2. Break the digestive biscuits in half
The amount of crackers to use depends on how many smores you want to make. One cookie is enough to get a smore.
Step 3. Arrange a few halves on the oven tray
Set aside any leftover cookies. Considering the size of the oven, it is possible to make more or less 2 smores at a time, but remember to leave some space between the crackers.
Step 4. Put a marshmallow on the cracker
Lay the flat side over the cookie so it doesn't roll off.
Step 5. Toast the smores
Put the tray in the oven and close the door. Let them cook until the marshmallows are golden brown. It will take about 4 minutes.
Step 6. Garnish the marshmallows with a piece of chocolate
Toast the marshmallows, take them out of the oven and garnish them with 2-4 squares of milk chocolate.
Step 7. Press the other half of the cookies onto the marshmallows
Squeeze them hard enough to make them firm, but keep the crackers from cracking.
Step 8. Let the smores rest before eating them
After about 1 minute, the chocolate will melt and acquire a soft consistency. Additionally, the marshmallow will also have cooled slightly.
Step 9. Done
Advice
- If you don't have digestive biscuits, you can use honey and cinnamon crackers.
- Chocolate can be cooked together with marshmallows. Place it on the cookie before adding the marshmallow.
- Add other ingredients to the smores, such as a raspberry or banana slice.
- Try using digestive biscuits of other flavors, such as chocolate ones.
- Try using a chocolate bar with caramel or peanut butter filling.
- Marshmallows can be substituted for marshmallow spreads, although you will need to reduce cooking times.
- If you don't have chocolate bars, replace them with a cocoa and hazelnut-based cream (such as Nutella), spreading it on the crackers themselves.
Warnings
- Do not leave the oven unattended, especially when using the grill. Marshmallows tend to burn quickly.
- Be careful when biting into a smore - the marshmallow filling will be hot.
