Materials

  • S’mores ingredients (marshmallows, Hershey’s bars and graham crackers)
  • Cardboard pizza box (or any cardboard box will do!)
  • Black construction paper
  • Aluminum foil
  • Plastic wrap
  • Wooden skewer or stick

Instructions

  1. On the lid of the box cut the “oven door” flap.
  2. Place black construction paper in the bottom of the box. The black color absorbs the heat.
  3. Tape the plastic wrap over the opening of the door. This will allow the air inside the box to heat up but keep the heat trapped inside the box.
  4. Place a marshmallow and chocolate inside the box on top of the black paper.
  5. Place your solar oven outside in the sun. Use a wooden skewer or stick to prop the lid open at an angle.
  6. Once chocolate starts to melt and the marshmallow is warm assemble with graham crackers to make a s’more. Enjoy!
