Easy S’mores Biscuit Bake for a Warm Gooey Treat Tips, FAQ & printable recipe

Tips for success

To achieve an even toast on the marshmallows, you can use the broiler for the final 30 to 60 seconds of baking, but stay in front of the oven the entire time. Marshmallows can transition from golden to burnt in a matter of seconds, so constant vigilance is required if you choose to use the broiler. This quick step adds a professional-looking finish to the dessert and enhances the campfire flavor profile significantly.

If you find that the edges are cooking faster than the center, rotate the baking dish halfway through the cooking time. This simple adjustment ensures that the biscuits on the edges do not become too dark while the center remains undercooked.

Additionally, using a deeper dish can help contain the bubbling chocolate and marshmallow, making cleanup easier after the dessert has been enjoyed. Serve this dish with a large spoon to ensure everyone gets a portion of the gooey center.

Variations

• Peanut Butter Twist: Drizzle creamy peanut butter over the chocolate chips before adding the marshmallows to incorporate a classic nutty flavor profile.
• Dark Chocolate Version: Replace milk chocolate chips with high-quality dark chocolate chips for a deeper, less sweet, and more sophisticated flavor experience.

Storage and make-ahead

Fridge

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Reheat

Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds until warm.

If any of the bake remains, let it cool completely to room temperature, which should take no longer than two hours. Once cooled, cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the contents to an airtight container.

Keep the dish in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. The texture will change slightly as the biscuits absorb the moisture from the chocolate and marshmallows, but the flavor will remain delicious for a couple of days after the initial preparation.

This recipe is best prepared and served fresh to maintain the contrast between the crispy top and the soft interior. However, you can assemble the base and the topping up to an hour before baking, keeping it at room temperature.

For longer periods, it is best to prepare the components separately and assemble them just before putting the dish into the oven. Baking it ahead of time and reheating is possible, but the texture of the biscuits will not be as crisp.

Serving ideas

Serve the S'mores Biscuit Bake warm, directly from the baking dish. It is a hearty and indulgent dessert that pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which provides a cooling contrast to the warm, melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows.

Place the dish on a heat-resistant mat in the center of the table and allow guests to scoop their own portions. The gooey nature of the dish makes it a fun, interactive dessert for family gatherings or casual social events.

If you are serving this for a larger group, consider providing small individual dessert bowls and spoons. The dish is quite rich, so smaller portions are often sufficient. You can add a small dollop of whipped cream on top if desired, though the dish is decadent enough on its own. Ensure that the bake has had at least five minutes to settle after coming out of the oven, as this makes it much easier to portion out without the layers sliding apart completely.

Easy S'mores Biscuit Bake for a Warm Gooey Treat

Prep 5 minCook 20 minRest 5 minTotal 30 minServes 8

Ingredients

• 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough, quartered
• 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup melted butter with brown sugar
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take the quartered refrigerated biscuit dough pieces and arrange them evenly across the bottom of a large rectangular ceramic baking dish. Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips over the biscuit pieces, ensuring they are distributed throughout the dish to create pockets of melted chocolate.
2. Pour the melted butter with brown sugar mixture evenly over the biscuits and chocolate chips. Follow this by scattering the mini marshmallows generously across the top. Finally, dust the entire surface with the graham cracker crumbs to add that signature campfire crunch to the bake.
3. Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes. Watch for the biscuits to puff up and turn a deep golden brown, and for the marshmallows to become lightly toasted and melted. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the chocolate set slightly.
