FAQs
1. Can I make these s’mores without a broiler?
Yes, you can make s’mores using a regular oven or even a microwave. For the oven, use a 350°F (175°C) setting for 5-7 minutes. In the microwave, heat for about 10-15 seconds until the marshmallows puff up.
2. Can I use regular-sized marshmallows instead of jumbo ones?
Yes, you can use regular marshmallows. Just use 2-3 marshmallows per s’more and adjust the cooking time to ensure they toast evenly.
3. What other types of chocolate can I use for these s’mores?
You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate. Get creative with different chocolate varieties based on your taste preferences.
4. Can I make these s’mores with gluten-free graham crackers?
Yes! You can substitute gluten-free graham crackers to make these s’mores suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
5. Can I make a larger batch of these s’mores at once?
Yes, you can prepare multiple s’mores on a larger baking sheet, just be sure to space them out and broil them in batches if needed.
6. Can I use a toaster oven instead of a broiler?
Yes, a toaster oven can work just as well as a broiler. Set it to high heat and toast the marshmallows for 1-2 minutes, checking frequently.
7. How do I make sure my marshmallows don’t burn under the broiler?
Keep a close eye on the marshmallows while broiling. They can go from golden brown to burnt in seconds, so it’s important to stay nearby and check frequently.
8. Can I use marshmallow fluff instead of marshmallows?
You can, but marshmallow fluff won’t have the same texture or toasty crunch as regular marshmallows. If using fluff, spoon it onto the graham crackers and broil carefully.
9. How can I add a salty twist to these s’mores?
Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate before broiling for a sweet and salty combo.
10. Can I make these s’mores ahead of time?
S’mores are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the graham cracker and chocolate layers ahead of time and store them until you’re ready to broil and assemble.
