S’mores

Get an adult to help you with this one. Usually S’mores require a campfire to roast the marshmellow and melt the chocolate a bit, but at home you can assemble the S’mores, place them on a plate and very briefly microwave them.

Here’s what you’ll need.

  • 2 graham crackers
  • 1 large marshmallow
  • a few chocolate chips or half of a Hershey bar
  • a microwave oven safe plate

Place the marshmallow and chocolate inside the two graham crackers (like a sandwich) and place it on the plate. Microwave for only a few seconds– perhaps 20 or so. Be careful! It’ll be hot, but you’ll have a melted gooey treat!!!
