Can you make S'mores with a natural gas oven?
Absolutely! The instructions you'd follow for an electric oven apply to natural gas ovens, too.

How long should you put marshmallows in the oven?
If you're using the broil setting on your oven, your marshmallows will start to brown after only 1 or 2 minutes, so keep a close eye on them!

4. How to Make Stovetop S'mores (Electric, Gas or Propane)

There’s nothing quite like the warmth and beauty of a campfire. But when you’re stuck indoors, your stovetop can bring the heat for gooey S’mores goodness. If you’ve got a gas burner, you’re in luck: roasting your marshmallow over the open flame is like a mini campfire.

For electric burners, you still have options. Your marshmallow won’t flame, but it’ll get warm and toasty with a little patience. Or grab a pan and create a unique stovetop S’mores recipe like a HERSHEY'S Grilled S’mores-wich!

Pros: Gas stovetop closely replicates campfire experience

1. Place 1 graham cracker half on a plate; top with a chocolate bar half and set aside.

3. Place toasted marshmallow over chocolate graham cracker half. Top with second graham cracker half and gently press together.
4. Slowly remove rod or skewer from the marshmallow. Serve immediately.

Like with any cooking activity, you should be very careful around heat or open flame. Don't be afraid of getting creative in the kitchen, though! So, as long as you stay alert and cautious, roasting marshmallows over a gas flame is perfectly fine.

Can I use wooden sticks for roasting S'mores?
Yes. In fact, the traditional method is to gather twigs to roast your marshmallows. Whether you’re using a stick from the yard or store-bought wooden skewers, make sure it's long enough to keep your hands at a safe distance from the flame.
