Making s’mores doesn’t have to mean roughing it outside. If you love to camp, have at it! But, for us indoorsy folk, there’s a way to toast marshmallows right on your gas stove.
S’mores on a Stick Dessert Kabobs
I was never much of a camper, but I did have my days of sitting by campfires on summer nights. I loved the heat of the flames while I held a marshmallow on a stick trying to get that perfect golden-brown toasty-ness.
Now, I skip the whole wilderness part and make them at home, but the flavor still brings back fun memories. Plus, I just love food on a stick for gatherings!

Just simple ingredients
Directions
Set Up Your Workspace
Line a cutting board or baking sheet with wax paper. This will be your spot for cooling the marshmallows.
Toast the Marshmallows
Put a large marshmallow on each skewer. Hold the skewer over a gas stove or heat source. Rotate it slowly to toast the marshmallow. If it catches fire, blow it out gently and keep toasting.
Cool the Marshmallows
Place the toasted marshmallows on the prepared wax paper. Let them cool until they firm up.
Prep the Graham Crackers
Lay the graham cracker squares on a flat surface. Keep them ready for assembling.
Melt the Chocolate
Put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Warm them for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. If they’re still lumpy, microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir after each round until the chocolate is fully melted.
Dip the Marshmallows
Take a cooled marshmallow and dip it into the melted chocolate. Make sure the top is covered.
Assemble the S’mores
Place the chocolate-covered marshmallow on a graham cracker square. Repeat this for all the skewers.
Set the Chocolate
Let the chocolate harden at room temperature. If you’re short on time, put them in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy
Once the chocolate has set, the s’mores skewers are ready to eat. Makes 12 skewers.

Recipe Substitutions and Variations
Marshmallows: Use flavored marshmallows like caramel or strawberry to experiment.
Graham Crackers: Swap with chocolate graham crackers, Oreos, or another similar flat cookie.
Chocolate Chips: Try white chocolate, peanut butter chips, or even a hazelnut spread.
Skewers: If you have to use metal skewers for some reason (not recommended), be extremely careful because they get HOT!
Toppings: Add crushed nuts or sprinkles after dipping the marshmallow into the melted chocolate.
Spreads: Spread peanut butter or cookie butter on the graham cracker before adding the marshmallow. Leave room on the cracker so the chocolate sticks.
Other Swaps: Use gluten-free graham crackers or vegan marshmallows for dietary needs.
Sweetness: Try dark chocolate for less sweetness or flavored chocolate like mint or orange.

Recipe Notes & FAQ
Can I use any type of skewer?
For safety and ease, bamboo fork skewers are recommended. Metal skewers can get very hot and are harder to handle.
Can I use a different heat source besides a gas stove?
Yes, you can toast marshmallows over an indoor s’mores maker, campfire, or even a kitchen torch. Just follow the same safety precautions.
How do I prevent marshmallows from catching fire?
Always hold the marshmallow just above the flame, not directly in it, and rotate it slowly. If it catches fire, calmly blow it out and continue toasting.
Can I use a chocolate bar instead of chips?
Yes. Break the bar into small pieces and melt it the same way you would chocolate chips.
