Ready for some sweet action? Just follow these simple steps:

1. Microwave Method: This is by far the easiest way! If you have a cranky microwave, make just one or two at a time.

   • Place an upside-down graham cracker on a plate and place a piece of chocolate on top.
   • Add a marshmallow on top, leaving off the second graham cracker for now.
   • Microwave for about 20 seconds (if using Dandies vegan marshmallows) and watch it expand like magic!
   • Once fluffy, press your marshmallow down and add your second graham cracker. Voila!

2. Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) or broil at 400°F (205°C).

   • Line a cookie sheet with parchment or foil. This makes cleanup a breeze!
   • Place the graham crackers upside down, leaving space to let those marshmallows puff up.
   • On one side, add chocolate, and on the other, pop on the marshmallow. Cook for 5-10 minutes or until those marshmallows are looking fabulous.
   • If broiling, keep an eye on it—it happens quick!

3. Campfire Method: Get your graham cracker and chocolate ready on a plate. Skewer a marshmallow and roast it over the fire.

   • If you like it lightly toasted, keep it away from full flames.
   • Want the charred edge? Let it catch fire, blow it out, and slap that marshmallow between the crackers.

4. Chill & Dunk: Let your smores cool, freeze them for a bit, then dunk in melted chocolate and pop them back in the freezer until ready to devour. Yum!
