We added a fire pit in our backyard recently, and we’ve been teaching our son the proper way to make a s’more. More specifically, we’ve been teaching Robbie the proper way to roast a marshmallow.

Roasting marshmallows is simple, but there are a couple of pitfalls that can lead to trouble. You can’t get too close to the flames – otherwise the outside burns, and the inside doesn’t get all gooey and melty. But you also have to say close enough that the outside gets nice and toasty before the marshmallow gets too gooey and starts falling off the stick.

There’s an art to marshmallow roasting, and we’ve spent the last month of so perfecting our skills. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it!

S’mores Quick Bread

Switching from roasted marshmallows in the backyard, let’s turn our attention to this fantastic (and easy!!) loaf of S’mores Quick Bread. This bread is delicious and super simple to make. No art or crazy skills needed here. If you can mix a batter in a bowl, then you can make this bread!

I employed Robbie’s help in making this S’mores Quick Bread – after all, he’s been roasting so many marshmallows outside that it just seemed fitting to get his help inside, too. We decided the bread should start with a chocolate quick bread. Nice and easy. We used cocoa powder for the base, but we threw in a handful of chocolate chips, too. More chocolate = more better, right?

We knew we needed to incorporate the graham cracker flavor in this S’mores Quick Bread, so we blitzed up some graham crackers in a mini-chopped and added those in. And a s’more isn’t a s’more without marshmallows, so we added a handful or two of mini-marshmallows into the batter.

As this bread baked, it filled the house with the most delicious of smells. However, we weren’t done just yet. We wanted the bread to look really cool, too, so we added chocolate bars, broken graham crackers and more marshmallows to the top. Yum!

How to Toast Marshmallows Indoors

In order to get those marshmallows on top all nice and toasted, we placed the loaf (still in the pan) back into the oven under broil for about 3-4 minutes. When broiling marshmallows, keep a close eye on them! They go from nothing to golden brown to burnt in a very short amount of time.

Another option for toasting marshmallows indoors is to use a kitchen torch. We had a couple of stubborn marshmallows on one side that didn’t want to toast, so we carefully waved a kitchen torch back and forth over those marshmallows for a few seconds. Just hold the kitchen torch about 2-3″ above the marshmallow and steadily wave it back and forth until the marshmallow is golden brown. Roasted marshmallow perfection!

A slice of this S’mores Quick Bread makes for a great mid-morning snack or after-dinner treat. It’s packed with all of the classic s’mores flavor, and there’s no need to dodge smoke outdoors by the fire pit! I hope you enjoy this bread as much as we do here. Happy baking!
