Want the flavor of summer bonfires right in your kitchen? Absolutely! This s'mores pizza packs all the best parts of classic s'mores into a sweet treat. The graham cracker cookie base is soft in the middle and a little crisp on the edges, loaded up with gooey chocolate and golden marshmallows that stretch all stringy when you grab a slice.
Made this at my niece's birthday bash just last weekend. The kids were all glued to the oven, amazed while the marshmallows got all toasty. When that first stretch of melted chocolate appeared, every grown-up wanted seconds too!
Essential Ingredients
- Real-deal milk chocolate (grab Hershey's if you can) for true s'mores flavor
- Crush fresh graham crackers—the fresher, the yummier your base will be
- Soft, room-temp butter keeps things buttery and fluffy
- Check your marshmallows are fresh—stale ones just don't melt the same

When the rain spoiled our backyard fire, my mom would pull this out in a flash. Now I make it for my own kids. Not gonna lie—sometimes it's even better than the original version. The chewy cookie part is what brings me back every time.
Best Pairings
Warm pizza gets even better with a scoop of chilly vanilla ice cream. Want to spoil yourself? Drizzle on some hot caramel. In autumn, pour out a mug of apple cider—trust me, it's a perfect match.
Try These Twists
Craving a different spin? Swap in dark chocolate for a deeper flavor, or toss caramel chips into the chocolate layer. I sometimes scatter crushed Oreos under the marshmallows for an epic upgrade. Or, after broiling, toss on a handful of chopped pecans for something nutty.
Keep It Yummy
Got leftovers? They'll stay soft and tasty for days. Use foil to cover—skip the plastic wrap since it sticks to marshmallows—and leave at room temp. Nuke a slice for 10-15 seconds to get that melty, gooey goodness back.
Little Magic Touches
Dusting sea salt on top at the end kicks everything up a notch. The bit of salt makes the chocolate pop. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the cookie dough during cold months for an extra cozy feeling in every bite.
