Can you believe that summer is almost over?!!! One can't help but notice stores already starting to put out fall decor and accents on their shelves, so I was curious to find out exactly when fall starts officially. Turns out that will start precisely on September 22nd, which means less than one month from now. I got excited because fall is my favorite season. But at the same time, I know that I will miss many summer treats such as our tropical Coconut-Banana Pudding, and the refreshing Chai Vanilla Milkshake, Quinoa Pilaf Salad Cups, and most of all our Frozen S'mores Cups. I am just crazy for S'mores, so I got the idea of making this ridiculously easy, three-ingredient Indoors Skillet S'mores... Just the sound of those words gets me all ecstatic, how about you?!
I've always associated S'mores with campfires, and so with summertime... But making this comforting, warm S'mores treat made me realize that it also goes well with both fall and winter, too... Such a versatile, scrumptious treat, don't you think?
Skillet S'mores is the perfect excuse to get friends together at the end of this summer, or just two, cozy under a blanket on a Fall/Winter night, while scooping all the chocolate-marshmallow gooey filling up with a Graham cracker. This Skillet S'mores makes an effortless dessert to celebrate the upcoming Labor's Day... Definitely a day when one doesn't want to work. 🙂
If you'll please excuse me! I am getting super anxious to dive into that scrumptious S'mores skillet... Have a great holiday weekend!

Indoors Skillet S'mores...Scooping Graham crackers in warm scrumptiousness!
Ingredients
- 12 (1-ouce) squares of semisweet or dark baking chocolate chopped (I used semisweet)
- 4 cups of miniature marshmallows
- Graham crackers to scoop the S'mores filling with
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450º F (232º C).
- In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, add the chocolate (semisweet or dark according to your preference) in an even layer. Sprinkle marshmallows on top of the chopped chocolate.
- Bake until marshmallows are browned and chocolate is melted, about 4-5 minutes, as follows: The first 2-3 minutes, loosely cover skillet with a sheet of aluminum foil (tented so that it will not stick to the marshmallows)... Then, remove aluminum foil for the last 2 minutes so that marshmallows can brown. Let stand for approximately 4 minutes before serving with the crackers on the side. Enjoy! If you are serving this Skillet S'mores for one to a couple of people, you can decrease the ingredient amounts by half like I did, and use a smaller skillet.

OMG!!! What a great idea using skillet for this smores 🙂
Denise Browning says
Thanks, Kiran! The good thing about it is s'mores can be made indoors and enjoyed all year round.
Matea says
What a delicious idea! You don't always have to have a camp fire to enjoy s'mores!
Denise Browning says
Thank you! I do agree with you... I love S'mores so much that I eat it the entire year.
Nancy says
What size cast iron skillets did you use, how did you divide the receipe, and what was the cook time?
Denise Browning says
Nancy:
I used a 6-inch cast iron. For that size, I decreased the ingredient amounts by half of that stated in the recipe. The cooking time is the same stated in the recipe.
Nanny Kate says
Looks great in theory. Execution, not so much. Followed directions exactly. Marshmallows burned on top but not gooey. Chocolate only semi-melted. Think it needs a cooler oven and longer bake time. Just my two cents.

Nanny Kate:
I am so sorry yours did not turn out well. I posted the recipe here because I tested it first and mine came out perfect every time -- as well as many others who have made it. Ovens vary. This is a fact! Unfortunately I have no way to control the precision of every single oven's temperature. Since your oven possibly runs hotter than the average, try baking at a lower temp for a longer time, as you said. The recipe itself is not the problem... I am thinking it may be your oven. I am sorry but it is the truth. Have a great day!
