Method
Prep the cookies
- Separate Oreo cookies, keeping the cream filling intact on one side of each cookie. Set the two halves aside so you can sandwich the marshmallow later.
Roast the marshmallows
- Thread marshmallows onto roasting sticks. Arrange them so you can rotate over open flame evenly without touching the cookies.
- Roast marshmallows over campfire until golden brown and gooey. Keep turning as they blister and expand so the surface browns without burning.
Assemble the Oreo s'mores
- Place a roasted marshmallow on one Oreo cookie half and top with another cookie half to sandwich. Aim for the marshmallow to ooze slightly from the edges for the classic texture.
- Press gently to spread marshmallow. Use light pressure so the cookies hold while the center stays melted.
- Let cool for 1 minute before eating. This firms the exterior while keeping the inside warm and gooey.
Notes
For the cleanest “gooey oozing” look, roast just until the marshmallow turns deep golden and looks glossy, then assemble immediately. Store assembled s’mores at room temperature for up to 1 day; for best texture, don’t refrigerate. Freezing isn’t recommended because the marshmallow and cookies can lose their snap and chew. For a reduced-sugar option, use sugar-reduced marshmallows if available—roasting time may be slightly shorter.
