- 9×9 baking dish, or double the recipe and use a 9×13 dish
- Marshmallows– I used about 3/4 of a bag
- Chocolate Chips– I used milk chocolate, but semi-sweet or dark chocolate work too!
- Sanding Sugar– you can find red and blue sugar in the baking aisle next to the sprinkles. I did not use white sanding sugar, I just left the white stripes plain marshmallow, but you could definitely use the white sanding sugar or even granulated sugar.
- Kitchen Shears or a sharp knife to cut the marshmallows in half.
- Graham Crackers for serving, or try pretzels, apple slices, or strawberries.
How To Make It
Start by preheating your oven to 450ºF and lightly greasing a baking dish (any small to medium-sized dish will work).
Next, pour your bag of chocolate chips evenly into the bottom of the dish. This forms that rich, melty base everyone’s going to fight over.
Now for the fun part—decorating! Grab two small bowls and fill one with red sugar and the other with blue sugar. Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, carefully cut large marshmallows in half vertically.
Dip 9 marshmallow halves into the blue sugar, and arrange them in the top left corner of the baking dish to create the “stars” section of the flag.
Create the stripes
- Dip 4 marshmallow halves into the red sugar and place them across the top of the dish for your first red stripe.
- Follow with 4 plain (white) marshmallows to create the white stripe underneath.
- Keep alternating red and white stripes until your flag design is complete.
Bake the dip for 7–10 minutes, keeping a close eye toward the end. The marshmallows should be puffed and toasted and the chocolate underneath melted and gooey. Mine was perfect at 8 minutes!
Let it cool slightly (the dish will be hot!), then serve warm with graham cracker halves, vanilla wafers, or pretzel sticks for dipping.
Trust me—this one disappears fast. Enjoy!
That first dive into the crunchy top of the marshmallow is the best!
If there’s any part of the marshmallows that aren’t coated in sugar you can just sprinkle more on top before baking.
Here’s history on the origin of the s’more if you’re interested! They’ve been making people happy since the 1920’s! S’more Origin Story

Equipment
Ingredients
- Butter oil or nonstick spray

- Blue sanding sugar
Instructions
- Lightly spray a 9×9 baking dish with nonstick spray or lightly butter it

- Pour the sanding sugar into shallow bowls for dipping.
- With sharp kitchen scissors or a knife, cut 5 marshmallows in half. Dip 9 of the cut halves into the blue sanding sugar and place them sugar side up on top of the chocolate chips, starting in the upper left corner for the blue part of the flag.
- Cut 2 marshmallows to get 4 halves and dip into the red sanding sugar. Lay those on top of the chips in a stripes pattern on the top row next to the blue marshmallows.
- Cut 2 more marshmallows and add those under the red marshmallows. (Dip in white sugar, if desired)
