Ingredients
  

  • 3 Package Graham crackers
  • 1 Bag Marshmallows or 1 Pan Homemade Marshmallows
  • 6 Chocolate Bars
  • Butter to grease dish

Instructions
 

  • Pre-Heat Solar OvenSet out your solar oven with the lid on in a sunny spot in order to preheat it a bit. Fifteen to thirty minutes is enough time to pre-heat on a sunny day.
  • Assemble S'Mores
  • Butter a large casserole dish. Remember to pick a dish that will lay flat in your solar oven.
  • Cover the bottom of the dish in graham cracker squares.
  • Break the chocolate bars into bite size pieces and put one or two on top of each cracker.
  • Place one to two marshmallows on top of the chocolate – however many it takes to fill the area of the graham cracker.
  • Reserve the top cracker until just before serving.
  • Baking S'mores in the Solar Oven
  • Once your dish is full, you're ready to put it in the solar oven.
  • Take the dish out to the solar oven and put it inside - remember the oven is pre-heated, so it will be hot.
  • Secure the lid and leave it in the sun to melt both the chocolate and the marshmallows.
  • Start checking your s'mores at twenty minutes for done-ness.
  • Use a spatula to serve up individual baked s’mores and place the finishing graham cracker like a hat on top of your s'mores.

Notes

How long that will takes is entirely dependent on how mushy you want your s'mores. If you just want all the ingredients warmed but not melted, be sure to check on your dish after about twenty minutes, if it’s a hot day. If you want it melted (the way we like it), give it a bit longer.
If you’re making s'mores in the fall or winter, give it a little extra time.
FYI, a homemade marshmallow will melt a lot faster than a store bought one.
