Why you’ll love this recipe

Besides showing you the genius of making s’mores without a fire, here are a few more reasons we think the microwave is great for s’mores.

Easy: I don’t think s’mores can get easier than making it in the microwave! This is by far the best way to make indoor s’mores.
Single serving: Making them in the microwave mean you control the servings. No need to splurge. You can always make a single serving for just you if you are alone.
Safe: The risk of a fire burn is less likely with the microwave so kids can make theirs with minimal supervision. Marshmallow when heated can be hot so bear that in mind when deciding the age of the you want making these.
No special equipment needed: I’ve heard about this cute microwave s’mores maker and to be honest I really don’t think you need it to make s’mores. I would likely buy them because they are cute not necessarily to make s’mores.
