S’mores! They are everywhere right now. All over the Internet, tempting us mere mortals that don’t have a camp fire/fire pit/any kind of fire, really.
I still have my gas stove, for like 15 more days, but who wants that mess on their stove? Not me!
So, I’ve decided to attend to my s’mores craving by making these S’mores in a Jar that are made indoors, but can be enjoyed indoors or outdoors, no fire required and done in less than 10 minutes! :)
The word s’more is believed to be a contraction of the phrase “some more”. Very fitting, I think, since I’m always wanting some more of it! :P
Nobody knows the exact origin of this campfire treat, but the first recorded version of the recipe appeared in 1927 in the publication Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts.
A sandwich of two graham crackers, toasted marshmallow and a square of milk chocolate. What could be better than that?
My version of the S’mores in a Jar is a twist of the classic s’mores. Graham cracker buttery crust, chocolate ganache, marshmallow fluff and topped with some mini marshmallows that are then toasted with a Chef’s Torch!
“But you said no fire!!!”
True, I did. But no worries if you don’t have a torch. Just line the mini marshmallows in a baking sheet line with aluminum and toast them under the broiler!
The secret for a good s’mores is good ingredients.
You really can’t go wrong with Hershey’s Milk Chocolate, Honey Maid Graham Cracker Squares and Kraft’s Jet Puffed Marshmallows. My favorite s’mores team!
You can find all these guys at your local Walmart. In fact, during the summer, most stores will have a special display for S’mores, with all these ingredients conveniently placed so you don’t have to look too hard! :)
And while you’re at Walmart, make sure you pick some little Mason jars if you don’t own any, as you will need them. The 5oz ones are perfect for this recipe!
My favorite thing about making S’mores in a Jar is that they are portable!
My naughty self kind wants to sneak them into the movie theater. I know, I know… I’m a bad bad girl! Most of the time I behave and enjoy them at home, while catching up with my favorite TV shows.
In fact, that’s what I did last night while the rain was pouring outside!
Oh yeah! Take that, campfire people! I bet your s’mores didn’t taste as good when they were soaking wet!!! *wink*
But now you tell me… What is YOUR favorite way of eating s’mores?

I’d totally take that into the movie theater. Juuuust saying, ;)
Too funny, I was just telling Boy how everyone has gone ‘Smores crazy and then this popped in my inbox! These little jars are so cute Olivia!! Im obsessed with anything mini and the fact that you dont need a camp fire to enjoy these is great! And doubly great- i can use my blowtorch (#PyroManiac). I totally agree when it comes to simple dishes with few ingredients- the quality of what you use is SO important! These rock the house! ♡Cheers girlie!
Looks so, so good! I love the layers and that they are portable. :)
Thanks, Christin! The portable part is sometimes quite dangerous to me! lol
NO FREAKIN’S WAY!! This is awesome beyond words! I LOVE S’mores! My fave way is the traditional way….but THIS is way cooler. Please excuse me, I need to bounce this all over Pinterest! ;)
A creative and easy snack hack we can definitely take advantage of in the office where it’s a challenge to get a fire started! Thanks for the great idea.
How far in advance can I prepare these for a wedding dessert table? Do you think the Graham crackers will get soggy?
Did you get an answer to this question? I was wondering the same thing.
I wouldn’t make it more than 2 days ahead.
what a creative an fun idea to make s’mores in a jar! These jars look so adorable and yummy!
This is one fantastic idea, Olivia! I love that you used chocolate ganache in here. Call me a rule-breaker, but I would totally take this s’more in a jar into a movie theater! :)
OH wow! I LOVE this idea!!! I need to host a dinner party asap so I can serve this for dessert :)
I love how the tops of your marshmallows are just slightly burnt…I’m that girl who torches hers and then revels in the glory that is charred sugar. Nom Nom Nom!
We get everything but Graham Crackers here. Any recommended substitute?
Hi Epoc! Sorry for the delayed answer. I think any kind of cookie that can be crumbled would work. :) Let me know what you used and what you thought of it!
We did them with biscoff cookies like they give on Delta Airlines. Was a little sweeter than I remember graham crackers to be so added some bread and some sea salt. Divine!
I’m glad it worked out! I was going to suggest ladyfingers but thought they would be sweet too. Thanks for letting me now! :)
How long is the shelf life on these
Snickerdoodle cookies are a really great option.
Can these be sealed & sold later? If so, how long are they good for?
I love this idea it’s so easy and awesome and affordable…and I’m a young cook and to do this at home is super fun and cool
Hi I love this recipe I’m so excited to try this out!! I want to take them camping this summer in case of a burn ban, how long do you think they can keep, refrigerate or not?
Hi Marie! I think they will keep for up to a week, but they might harden a bit. So let them sit a room temperature for a little while before serving! :)
I have a question…I just prepped 24 of these for a party tonight (it’s midday!) Do I need to refridgerate them until I torch and serve them??
Thanks! They look great! I can comment on taste later…(but what can be bad?) ;)
Hi Genie,
Yes, you can refrigerate until ready to use. Then let them sit at room temperature for like 30 minutes just before serving, so they get creamier! :) I hope you enjoy them!
How did you get the marshmallow fluff in the jars so nicely? I tried a spoon but it was way too sticky.
Charlotte – I have found that spraying my spoon in baking spray helps when using marshmallow, peanut butter, or honey!
I totally agree with you, Cheyanne! The cute little jars are so precious! I am a petite woman and I love how neat Olivia has the smore’s designed in layers in the jars! :-) It makes me want smore’s after viewing these gorgeous pics! This recipe sounds delightfully delicious, Olivia (which is my Mom’s name) :-)
Going camping this coming weekend and I have some cute little mason jars. Going to make ahead and bring to our camping party. I will change it a bit. Instead of the little marshmallows on top I want to have everyone roast a big one over our firepit and slide on top. I think it will be a hit
I mix buttercream icing with the marshmallow fluff, equal parts, this way I can pipe it into the cups
Some truly nice stuff on this web site, I love it.
Love these. For some reason when I poured my chocolate on, the marshmallow fluff rose above it and pretty much absorbed the chocolate!! So they don’t look as pretty but still yummy!
