Best Oreo S’mores Recipe
These smores oreos skip the campfire and skip the graham cracker, and the result is honestly better. The Oreo brings both the cookie crunch and an extra hit of chocolate cream in the center, which means every bite has more going on than a traditional s’more.
Because you are using the broiler instead of an open flame, you can make a full batch of 6 all at once instead of roasting them one by one on a stick.
What sets this recipe apart is the assembly order. Placing the marshmallow directly on top of the chocolate before broiling lets the chocolate soften and melt slightly underneath while the top of the marshmallow gets golden and toasted.

Oreo Smores
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Oven with broiler setting
- Knife (for cutting marshmallows if needed)
- Spatula or tongs
Ingredients
- 12 Oreo cookies plus extra if you want a double-cookie sandwich
- 6 large marshmallows
- 1 bar Hershey’s Chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven broiler to low and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Break the chocolate bar into rectangles along the perforations.
- Twist the Oreo cookies apart and arrange 6 Oreo cookies halves on the baking sheet.
- Place two rectangles of chocolate on top of each Oreo half and then place a marshmallow over the chocolate.
- Broil for 1–3 minutes, watching closely, until the marshmallows are puffed and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and immediately top each with another Oreo cookie half, pressing gently to form a sandwich.
- Let cool for 1–2 minutes before serving so the marshmallow sets slightly and doesn’t ooze out too much when eaten.
Notes
- Arrange the cookies evenly on the baking sheet for consistent heating.
- Press the top cookie on gently to avoid squeezing out all the marshmallow.
- Serve while still slightly warm for the best texture.
- Have the top cookie halves ready before removing the pan from the oven.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

Ingredients for Oreo S’mores Cookies
- Oreo Cookies: The base and the top of each s’more. Regular Oreos work great, but double-stuffed Oreos add even more cream filling and make each bite richer.
- Large Marshmallows: Full-sized marshmallows are key here. They puff and brown under the broiler the way mini marshmallows cannot, giving you that classic gooey pull.
- Milk Chocolate Bar: Break into squares that fit the cookie. Hershey’s bars work perfectly and are easy to portion. You can also use dark chocolate if you prefer something less sweet.
Best Recipe Tips
- Watch the broiler the entire time. Marshmallows go from perfectly golden to burnt in seconds. Do not walk away, not even for a minute.
- Split your Oreos slowly. Twist each cookie apart carefully so the cream filling stays on one half. That cream-side-up half is your base, and you want the cream intact to hold everything in place.
- Let them cool for 2 to 3 minutes before eating. The chocolate and marshmallow will be extremely hot right out of the oven. A short rest makes them much easier to handle and lets the oreo smores cookies hold together better when you pick them up.
- Use parchment paper on your baking sheet. Melted marshmallow and chocolate will stick and burn onto a bare pan. Parchment makes cleanup easy and keeps everything from sticking.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping the parchment paper. Marshmallow and chocolate melt and fuse to a bare baking sheet under the broiler. It is a frustrating cleanup and you risk losing half your s’more to the pan.
- Using mini marshmallows instead of large ones. Mini marshmallows spread out and do not create the thick, gooey center that makes these smores oreo cookies worth making. Stick with large marshmallows and cut them in half if needed to keep them flat.
- Assembling the sandwich while the marshmallow is too hot. If you press the top cookie down immediately out of the oven, the marshmallow can squish out the sides and make a mess. Give it 60 to 90 seconds before pressing the top cookie on so everything sets slightly.
- Putting assembled s’mores in the microwave to reheat. Microwaving marshmallows causes them to puff and explode. If you need to reheat, place them back in a 200°F oven for a few minutes until the chocolate softens again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different flavors of Oreos? Absolutely. Golden Oreos, mint Oreos, peanut butter Oreos, and double chocolate Oreos all work well. Each one changes the flavor slightly, and golden Oreos give you a closer taste to a traditional graham cracker s’more.
Can I make these ahead of time? These oreo smores are best eaten fresh while the marshmallow is still warm and gooey. You can prep and assemble the unbaked s’mores on the baking sheet ahead of time and pop them under the broiler right before serving.
Can I use chocolate chips instead of a chocolate bar? You can, but a flat chocolate square melts more evenly and stays in place better during broiling. Chocolate chips can roll off the marshmallow before they melt. If chips are all you have, use a small cluster pressed together to form a flat layer.
Do these work without an oven? Yes. A kitchen torch works to toast the marshmallow, or you can use an air fryer at 400°F for 1 to 2 minutes. Watch closely either way.
Storage Directions
Refrigerator: Store leftover oreo s’mores cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Refrigerating them causes the Oreo to soften and the texture changes significantly, so room temperature is best if you plan to eat them the next day.
Freezer: These can be frozen in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transferred to a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. They actually make a fun cold treat straight from the freezer in summer, or you can thaw them at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
How to reheat: Skip the microwave. Place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven for 3 to 5 minutes until the chocolate softens and the marshmallow warms through. The Oreo will crisp back up slightly as it cools.
