🔥 Tips for Getting the Perfect Toast on Your Marshmallows
That signature golden top is what makes s’mores magical. Here’s how to get it just right:
-
Broiler Method: Place assembled pies under the broiler for 1–2 minutes. Watch constantly! Marshmallows go from perfect to scorched in seconds.
-
Torch Method: Use a culinary torch for even, controlled browning. Move the flame in circles and avoid direct contact for a golden finish.
-
Oven Toasting Tip: Place the marshmallows on a parchment-lined sheet pan, toast, then gently transfer to chilled chocolate-filled pies if you want no-melt precision.
Bonus idea: Dip toasted marshmallows in chocolate and press on top for an over-the-top presentation.

-
Assembly: Add marshmallows right before serving and toast to maintain the texture.
🧊 Freezer Tips
-
Freeze chocolate-filled pies in a single layer without marshmallows.

Thaw in fridge overnight, top with fresh marshmallows, and torch.
These hacks make mini s’mores pies a go-to for meal prep, gifting, and party planning.
