This $15 Gadget Makes Perfect S’mores Indoors Without the Mess (No Fire Pit Needed!)

Even though cold desserts reign supreme as the perfect dessert during the warmer months, I would say s’mores are a close second. Getting a fire going after the sun goes down, toasting marshmallows on skewers, and squishing them between graham crackers and chocolate is a quintessential summer activity — and they make for a super fun party food. Plus, if you want to get more creative with it, there are so many ways to customize your s’mores. You can use filled chocolates instead of your standard Hershey’s bars, or swap graham crackers out for more interesting ones. You can even make key lime pie s’mores!

But sometimes, even if a s’more craving hits, the weather doesn’t allow for starting a fire. Even more tragic, you may have no outdoor space for a fire pit like me. If either of these hurdles are getting in the way of your s’more-making, I have a gadget for you that’ll totally change the game: The Kavako S’mores Maker on Amazon. For only $15, you can have s’mores at any time in the microwave — and it totally eliminates the mess that usually comes with making them indoors. Read on for why this device is your next must-have!

This device is extremely easy to use, so anyone can create their own s’more in seconds, regardless of their age. The only step to get it ready to go is filling up the built-in reservoir with water (so that the cooking temperature is regulated, preventing the marshmallows from turning into a gooey mess). Next, you place all of the ingredients below the two arms to keep your sandwich held together. And even if there is a slight mess when it’s all said and done, the s’more maker is dishwasher-safe, so you don’t have to worry about painstakingly scraping off marshmallow remnants. 

And you don’t even have to limit yourself to just regular s’mores with this handy gadget — you can make a cracker sandwich with ham and melted cheese instead, and of course, you can add a variety of ingredients to change up your s’more, like bananas, peanut butter cups, and more.

Average Rating: 4.5/5

“It melts the marshmallow just right and even though the instructions limit the cook time in the microwave, a couple of extra seconds won’t hurt to get the chocolate melted too. Overall a great substitution for not having a pit and some skewers.” — zjelice

“This s’mores maker came just in time for my friend’s birthday we had a BLAST trying out different fillings… The s’mores cooked really evenly and each one came out perfect!” — Rochel R

“It is easy to use. Some supervision with very young kids but 7 years and up enjoy being in dependent in making these s’mores and it’s a great way for them to learn sharing with others.” — Aunt Enn

Even if you have a fire pit in your outdoor space (I’m very jealous of you), this nifty gadget will give you the option of mess-free s’mores at any time and year-round. And, at just $15, it’s total score!
