Want the best s’more? These brands make for the gooiest treat.

1. Break Out the Burner

A metal skewer and a gas stove can give you the toasty s’mores you’re craving. Grab your favorite chocolate bar, a graham cracker and a fluffy marshmallow. Next, skewer the marshmallow and toast over the open flame of your gas burner. Just a note of caution, please make sure all children are supervised and long-sleeved clothing is removed. Take your s’mores to the next level with one of these fun toppings.

2. Heat Up the Broiler

If you don’t have a gas burner or prefer not to work over an open flame, opt for broiling instead. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay graham crackers across the bottom of the baking sheet. Top each square with a marshmallow. Place your oven’s baking rack about 5 inches from the heating element and broil for 3 to 5 minutes or until the mallows have reached the desired toastiness. Quickly remove the s’mores from the oven and place a chocolate bar square on top of each treat. Top off with another graham cracker, or leave it open-faced.

3. Melt Away with the Microwave

If you’re tight on kitchen space, opt for the microwave. Yes, you will forego the toasty, burnt marshmallow crust, but you can still enjoy this classic treat. On a microwave-safe plate, place a square of graham cracker and top with a wedge of a chocolate bar then top with a marshmallow. Microwave for 10-15 seconds and top with the other half of the graham cracker. Keep an eye on it and get ready for ooey-gooey goodness!

4. Try Something New
