My kids are always more interested in dessert when they get to help build it, and these strawberry s’mores give them plenty to do. They can break the graham crackers, layer on the chocolate and strawberries, and help press everything together once the marshmallows are toasted. I handle the broiler, obviously, because those marshmallows can go from golden to burned very quickly.
These strawberry s’mores are also easier than setting up a fire, which means I can make them on a regular night without turning dessert into a whole production. The strawberries cut through some of the sweetness, and the kids still get the gooey marshmallow and melted chocolate they actually care about.

Recipe testing notes
For the past 10 years, I’ve tested every recipe multiple times before sharing it! These notes give you a peek into my process of developing and testing.
The broiler was the part I had to get a feel for. That first tray, I turned my back for barely a minute and the marshmallows went from toasty to burnt. They really do go fast under direct heat, so this is one of those things you stand right in front of and don’t walk away from. Once I stayed put and watched them, getting that golden toasted top was easy.
The strawberries took a little figuring out too. When I sliced them too thick, they slid off the stack and didn’t warm through, and when they were too juicy they made the graham cracker underneath go soggy. Slicing them thinner and letting them sit right on the chocolate, tucked under the marshmallow, was the fix. That way they soften from the heat without turning everything wet.
The other thing I noticed is that the chocolate barely needs the oven to do its job. By the time the marshmallow is toasted, the heat coming off it plus the warm strawberries melts the chocolate the rest of the way once you press the top graham cracker down. Pressing it while everything is still hot is what pulls the whole stack together.

Strawberry S’mores Ingredients
- Graham crackers: They’re perfect for s’mores because they’re thin but sturdy, not too sweet, and have a great crunch. Also, they are a classic. You could use Biscoff cookies, digestive biscuits, or any other sturdy cookie or even cracker.
- Chocolate: I love a traditional Hershey’s chocolate bar for my s’mores because it’s not overly sweet, and it’s super easy to break into squares. Most other chocolate bars will work, and you can use dark or white chocolate. I’ve also seen s’mores recipes using Thin Mints and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!
- Marshmallows: Large marshmallows work best since one fits nicely on each graham cracker square.
- Strawberries: Use ripe but firm strawberries so they hold their shape when sliced. Hull and slice them fairly thin so they fit neatly on the graham crackers without making the s’mores too tall. Read my tips on how to hull and slice strawberries.

1. ARRANGE GRAHAM CRACKERS
Break the graham crackers into squares and place half of them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If a few pieces crack a little unevenly, don’t worry. They’ll still sandwich together just fine!
2. ADD THE CHOCOLATE
Top each graham cracker with pieces of the chocolate bar. Place the chocolate in the center so it melts evenly under the marshmallow.
3. LAYER ON THE STRAWBERRIES
Arrange the sliced strawberries over the chocolate, spreading them out so every bite gets a little fruit.
4. TOP WITH MARSHMALLOWS
Place one large marshmallow on each stack, sitting it right over the strawberries.
5. BROIL UNTIL TOASTED
Slide the pan under the broiler and cook just until the marshmallows puff up and turn golden on top. Keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn!
6. FINISH THE S’MORES
Top each one with another graham cracker square and gently press everything together while the marshmallow is still warm.

Nutrition
Nutrition information provided is an estimate. It will vary based on cooking method and specific ingredients used.
Recipe Variations
- Add a spread: Spread about 1 tablespoon of Nutella or creamy peanut butter on each graham cracker before adding the chocolate.
- Pile on some (small!) toppings: After broiling, add a drizzle of caramel sauce, a tiny pinch of flaky salt, or some shredded coconut.
- Try savory s’mores: Instead of graham crackers, make the fruit s’mores on saltines, Ritz crackers, or even pretzel crisps!
Recipe Tips
- Assemble everything before broiling. Once the marshmallows are toasted, you’ll want to add the top graham cracker right away while everything is still warm and melty.
- Broil the strawberry s’mores on a lined baking sheet. Don’t put them directly on the rack! Even though they’re in the oven for such a short amount of time, the chocolate can drip down as it melts.
- Watch the broiler carefully. Marshmallows can go from lightly toasted to burnt in seconds, so don’t walk away while they’re under the heat.
Troubleshooting
If the chocolate still seems firm, it was probably covered by the strawberries and didn’t get enough direct heat. Let the finished s’mores sit for a minute after broiling so the heat from the marshmallow finishes softening the chocolate.
The broiler gets very hot, so marshmallows can brown much faster than expected. Keep the baking sheet on the center rack below the broiler and watch them the entire time.
