Sheet Pan S’mores Recipe: Make Gooey S’mores at Home

These are truly the easiest sheet pan s’mores you’ll ever make — and you need them in your life.

I think I’ve died and gone to heaven. And while this isn’t my usual Monday recipe, sometimes you just need s’mores.

This idea came up when I shared a quick video on Instagram during my mom’s birthday a while back. So many of you asked for a recipe — honestly, there isn’t a strict recipe, just a simple method for perfect pan s’mores without a bonfire.

Quick disclaimer

I’ll be the first to say: a big part of the fun with s’mores is roasting the marshmallow yourself over a flame. That ritual makes the experience. But if you don’t have a fire pit, it’s late, or you’ve got a group of family (or kids) who want s’mores right now, the sheet pan method is the perfect fallback.

Yes, the microwave works in a pinch — I’ve made microwaved s’mores in desperate moments and I’m not ashamed — but sheet pan s’mores are the secret for feeding a crowd quickly and getting great results.

The first time I made these I had a total brain meltdown. I’m terrible at math and apparently not paying attention: I prepped a full sheet pan with bottoms and thought I was composing pairs on the pan, so instead of 12 s’mores we ended up with 25. It was a hilarious mistake — plenty to go around.

Why sheet pan s’mores are great

They let you make a lot at once and everything finishes together. No waiting for skewers or trading roasting sticks — place, broil, and serve. It’s especially handy for kids’ parties or when you have a small group and want to serve dessert fast.

You can use homemade components if you like — homemade graham crackers or marshmallows are lovely — or keep it simple with store-bought. I like plain grahams, large square marshmallows, and a square of good chocolate (Lindt works well because the squares match a graham nicely). Peanut butter cups are another delicious option.

What to expect

• The marshmallows get toasty and golden — while not the exact same as roasting over a fire, close enough when you want s’mores now.
• The chocolate melts beautifully, so you avoid those unmelted chocolate bites that can happen with quick handheld s’mores.
• The graham crackers toast slightly on the edges, adding depth and a richer flavor.

So really — when are you making sheet pan s’mores?

Sheet Pan S’mores

These sheet pan s’mores are embarrassingly easy and perfect for a crowd, kids, or when you can’t light a bonfire.

Yield: 12 s’mores

Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 5 mins | Total time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 24 graham crackers
• 12 squares of chocolate (Lindt or similar; peanut butter cups work too)
• 12 marshmallows (large)

Instructions

1. Place your oven rack on the lowest level. This gives the marshmallows and chocolate a moment to soften and toast without burning when using the broiler.
2. Preheat the broiler on high. Arrange 12 graham crackers (bottoms) on a sheet pan. Top each with a piece of chocolate or a peanut butter cup, then place a marshmallow on top of each.
3. Slide the sheet pan into the oven and broil for 1 to 3 minutes, watching closely. Timing depends on your broiler — you want marshmallows puffed and golden on top.
4. Remove the pan from the oven, place the remaining graham crackers on top to form sandwiches, and serve immediately.
