OK, can you just indulge me for a moment?
I know what this looks like: Unadulterated, full on fat kid food. That’s because it is.
But if there’s one thing I’ve learned about life thus far it’s that time flies and life really is short and you’ve got to take advantage of moments and experiences when you can. Otherwise they’re gone in a snap and you wake up one day and realize you never did any of the things you said you wanted to do (whoa, that escalated quickly.) But seriously.
You know how it goes. You say you’re going to swim all summer long because winter was dreadful, but you only make it to the pool once. Or you beat yourself up for having one too many chocolates at that party last night, but in reality you didn’t gain a single ounce and all that energy was wasted on stress and guilt when it could’ve been used to enjoy your company and that last delectable bite.
Have I plead my case? Are you convinced to live in the moment and enjoy the little things? I hope so. And I also hope that one of those “little things” is one of these s’more(o)s. Because dang girl, you deserve it.
The best thing about these S’moreos* is that they can be made inside or out so you don’t need a campfire or fire pit! You only need an oven with a broiler and you’re good to go.
What else is simple about them? 3 ingredients, 5 minutes and 1 pan required. Does it get any better? I think not.
The assembly is super simple, too. Just top half of your Oreos with a marshmallow, toast until golden brown, drizzle with salty peanut butter and smoosh down with your other Oreo.
Voila! It’s as easy as that.
Boom, it’s magic. These S’moreos are LEGIT. You’re going to love them! They’re
Warm
Gooey
Seriously decadent
Chocolaty
Peanut buttery
Salty-sweet
Oozing with toasted marshmallow goodness
Customizable (add a peanut butter cup or strawberry jam instead of PB!)
Shareable
& Perfect any time of year
Here’s what I suggest: Invite over some friends, challenge everyone to revisit their summer bucket list and knock off at least one more item before we up and slip into fall.
Life is short! Oreos deserve to be upgraded with peanut butter and marshmallow. Just do it.
And if you do, be sure to take a picture of your gathering OR your solo-lady S’moreo party and tag it #minimalistbaker on Instagram! I’d love to see you in action living it up this summer. Cheers!

James Windley says
My local Trader Joe’s just started selling vegan-friendly marshmallows, so I’m very excited to give these a try!
Suzi says
I wanted to serve this to some kids with nut allergies. What could you replace the peanut butter with?
Sunflower Seed Butter?
jessica says
Hi there! Could these be chilled to serve later? Obviously, not as good, but I am sure still amazing? Thoughts?? Because WOW :)
Hmm, maybe freezing them would be good!
Hudleree says
While this is totally not good for you — I want it in my belly! I will have some leftover vegan sandwich cookies left over next month when I make my “cheesecake,” so I think I’ll be making these! Now to find a good rice cereal treat recipe to make some vegan rice crispy treats with the leftover vegan marshmallows!!
Sunnie says
Looks YUMMY!
Hey, just wanted to mention – the calorie info looks like it’s a little high for 1 s’moreo. My calculations (sorry, I’m like a calorie count book haha):
2 oreos = 110
1 marshmallow = 23 calories
1/2 TBSP peanut butter = 50 calories
So about 183 calories per sandwich? :) ‘Cuz hey, you know, then you can have 2 instead of 1 . . . ;)
Carla says
You guys are geniuses.
Karmen says
Hi,
thats interesting, the Oreos we ge tin Croati aar nothing but vegan! Milk ingredients…. :( Hows that possible? I htought same products is the sam ein all countries. and yes, yes, it is the actualy Oreo, not a copy or something. lol
Hudleree says
Sadly many brands are much different with their ingredients from country to country.
Jodi says
If you want to avoid the Nabisco brand Oreos (and I do), Newman O’s are an excellent substitute. They are all organic and vegan, as far as I can tell.
Emily says
Maybe pull the oreo apart and then do the s’more on one side and cap it off with the top half instead of two oreos?
Absolutely! I was going for “wow” effect, but feel free to just use one!
Hannah Elizabeth says
Oh, my, yum, Dana…you’re a genius!! These look so easy and delicious. What a treat! I can’t wait to try them! :)
Shikha @ Shikha la mode says
Oh man, that’s a little bite of heaven. Sunday was National S’mores Day too!
Dixya @ Food, Pleasure, and Health says
oreos. pb and smores together will make everything better in life.
Russell from Chasing Delicious says
Holy moly, I am in food blog heaven with this recipe! Look at it! I need them all.
Gaby says
Oh my!!! Those look heavenly!!
Stephanie @ A Magpie in the Sky says
I think I fainted just at the title. How dare you pop up on my feed at 4pm UK time, just when I am at that “I’m a little hungry but it’s still 3 hours ’till dinner” time. Now I have a feeling oreos and marshmallows will fall in my handbag on the way home!
haha, sorry? Hope you give them a try!
Ashley LaMar says
Oh. My. God. I don’t…I just don’t…there are just no words. GIVE ME NOW. Thanks! Those are amazing.
Sarah says
Awesome idea! We are going to a cottage for a week and this would be a perfect treat for around the fire!
hippymomelizabeth says
These look like great munchies:)!
hippymomelizabeth says
Dana & John my daughter Kar. just made a knock off version of your smoreos and #minimalistbaker her pics. she made these all by her self and shes 8. Hope you like.:)
Len says
These look amazing! Such an easy sweet treat.
jenna @ just j.faye says
These look amazingggg. I want.
bertie hefferman says
I love this blog and you have so many great recipes here, but this is totally disappointing to see. Are you receiving $ from Nabisco for endorsing Oreo’s?
T.V. says
Wow, I totally agree with the slight anxiety-inducing intro (don’t worry, it’s me, not you!) and if this is your way to say YOLO, totally go for it!!!!
However, for once I find this recipe totally foreign to my desires. I am not holding back: just looking at it and thinking, ‘no thanks’: the photos are beautiful as ever, and I honestly wish you all to enjoy it, but I am also glad for myself, as it is great to stop desiring things which are not so good for you. Now I just need to find my own personal way to say YOLO… like going for a cycle ride or complete one of those projects!
Thalia @ butter and brioche says
i am SO craving one of these right now.. they look amazing!
Millie l Add A Little says
OH EM GEE.
Liz @ Floating Kitchen says
Whoa. I need this right now. Love this super easy recipe. And I agree – we all gotta live a little sometimes and not be all stressy all the time. Happy weekend!
Candace @ The Wheatless Kitchen says
O.M.G. Swoon. I totally agree with the fact that we neeeeed to enjoy the little indulgent things in life. Like s’moreos. Heck to the yes!
Jacklyn Meyer says
Those toasted marshmallows look perfect!! And I can make them inside? Sold.
Medha @ Whisk & Shout says
My inner fat kid (me circa. 5th grade) is SCREAMING right now. These look amazing and I never realized you could use the broiler to toast marshmallows! They all look perfectly brownies and the peanut butter and oreo combo is literally making me grin at my computer screen :)
Pam says
Another vegetarian replacement for marshmallows is Fluff.
Thanks for the tip!
Gabby S says
Regular Marshmallow Fluff/cream contains gelatin as well, and so is not vegan/vegetarian, but there is a vegan-friendly brand called Ricemellow Fluff out there.
Nan says
Oh my gosh these look amazing! So many good things in one!
Lynn @ The Actor’s Diet says
I think CakeSpy may have “invented” the S’moreo?
I pay homage to them! Thanks for the note, Lynn.
Shaina says
Oh. My. God. This looks incredible!!!! What a fun, delicious dessert combination. Adorable recipe name too :)
Danielle @ Chits and Chats and Chocolate says
I am swooning; these look to die for! Those marshmallows look perfectly roasted!
tt says
These are not vegan friendly unless you use vegan Marshmallows!!! Please make sure you know all ingredients are vegan before you say they are. Regular marshmallows are made with gelatin which is animal collagen.
I’ve listed in the notes which marshmallows are vegan. Thanks for your concern!
Georgie says
“Is Oreo suitable for vegans?
Oreo is not suitable for Vegans as they have the cross contact of Milk.”
Gabby S says
The author never claimed this recipe was vegan, so she wasn’t “incorrect” in the listing of her ingredients. As far as Oreos not being vegan-friendly, I have been a vegan for around eight years, and I eat Oreos. I feel it is important to avoid directly consuming animal products, but not eating something (like Oreos) because of cross-contamination is like going to Subway and demanding that they change their gloves before making your veggie sub because they might have touched the ham. You would have to either make everything from scratch, or only buy products from dedicated vegan facilities, and also never eat at any restaurant that is not a fully-vegan establishment. Being that stringent does little more than cause other people to not give veganism a chance, as they would think it too limiting and demanding. They usually list the info about cross-contamination for the sake of those with severe food allergies.
