The Secrets To Making The Perfect Indoor S'more

Who knew creating s'mores indoors could so effortless and so tasty? S'mores will be your go-to this fall or winter when the weather is just too cold to bear. Once you've mastered the basics, you'll be able to prepare a more creative s'more. We have some s'more suggestions below!

Growing up, we loved those soft, waxy, milk chocolate Hershey's bars for s'mores. Ticket Chocolate uses couverture chocolate to mimic that taste — couverture has a much higher amount of cocoa butter than most chocolate, giving it the same silkiness as milk chocolate without the cloying sweetness. If you want a slightly more adult taste, try a dark chocolate (70 percent or higher).  — Posie Harwood

A slightly sweet cookie like a graham cracker works well in a s'more, helping to balance out the sugar of the marshmallow and chocolate. Try your hand at baking your own with graham flour. Even homemade graham crackers will shatter easily when you take a bite, so we've been experimenting with sturdier cookies. Shortbread is our top contender: Not too sweet, exceptionally thick and sturdy, and buttery enough to up the ante on the entire dessert. — Posie Harwood

This can be a microwave, toaster oven, gas oven, a can of "fondue" fuel, or even a large candle. Make sure the heat source is supported on a heatproof surface.
