Original S’mores Nachos

There’s something magical about the combination of chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers. Maybe it’s the nostalgia of childhood summers spent around a crackling fire, or the way the gooey marshmallows melt perfectly into the warm, melted chocolate. The Original S’mores Nachos take all the best parts of the classic campfire treat and turn them into a decadent, shareable dessert that can be enjoyed anytime—no campfire required. Whether you’re making them for a backyard party, a cozy movie night, or just because you deserve a sweet treat, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.

I still remember the first time I made The Original S’mores Nachos with my family. We were on a camping trip deep in the woods, and after a long day of hiking, we wanted something special but easy to make over the fire. Instead of the traditional s’mores, we decided to toss everything into a cast-iron skillet, let the heat work its magic, and in minutes, we had a bubbling, golden, chocolatey masterpiece. The first bite was pure bliss—the crunch of graham crackers, the velvety chocolate, and the toasted marshmallows melting into every layer. It was an instant hit, and now, making s’mores nachos is a tradition we continue at home, even when there’s no campfire in sight.

First-by-First Guide to Making The Original S’mores Nachos

First: Gather Your Ingredients

To make Gooey S’mores Nachos, you will need:

• 8–10 graham crackers (broken into smaller pieces)
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 4–5 large marshmallows (optional, for extra gooeyness)
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• ½ cup dark chocolate chunks
• ¼ cup white chocolate drizzle (optional)
• ¼ cup caramel sauce (optional)
• ¼ cup crushed cookies (optional)
• ¼ cup chopped nuts (optional)
• A pinch of sea salt (for added flavor)

Second: Prepare Your Cooking Equipment

Depending on where you’re making Oven-Baked S’mores Nachos, choose one of the following:

• Campfire Method: Use a heavy-duty foil pan and a campfire grate.
• Grill Method: A cast-iron skillet works best.
• Oven Method: A baking sheet or an oven-safe skillet is ideal.

Third: Layer the Ingredients

1. Spread half of the broken graham crackers at the bottom of your pan.
2. Sprinkle a generous handful of mini marshmallows on top.
3. Scatter chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks over the marshmallows.
4. Repeat the layering process to create a rich, gooey texture.
5. Finish with a few regular-sized marshmallows on top for that extra toasted effect.

Fourth: Cook the S’mores Nachos

Campfire Method:

• Cover the pan with foil and place it over the fire grate.
• Let it cook for about 7–10 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.

Grill Method:

• Preheat your grill to medium heat.
• Place the skillet directly on the grill grates and cook for about 7 minutes.
• If using a foil pan, cover with foil to prevent excessive charring.

Oven Method:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Bake for 10 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden and gooey.
• For an extra crispy finish, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.

Fifth: Add Final Touches & Serve

• Drizzle caramel sauce or peanut butter on top.
• Sprinkle crushed cookies or chopped nuts for extra crunch.
• Serve immediately while warm and gooey!

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Preparing S’mores Nachos
