S’mores Bites Recipe

Introduction

S’mores Bites are a fun and delicious twist on the classic campfire treat, perfect for enjoying anytime at home. These bite-sized delights combine crunchy graham cracker crusts, gooey marshmallows, and melted chocolate in a convenient mini muffin form. They’re quick to make and sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

• 7 whole graham crackers (equals 1 cup, finely crushed)
• 1/4 cup (28g) powdered sugar
• 6 Tbsp (86g) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 milk chocolate candy bars (1.55 oz each), divided into rectangles
• 12 large marshmallows, cut in half

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Step 2: Finely crush the graham crackers into crumbs using a food processor, a chopping tool, or by placing them in a plastic bag and smashing with a rolling pin.
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter until evenly mixed.
4. Step 4: Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan. Evenly divide the crumb mixture into each cup and press down firmly to form shallow crust cups.
5. Step 5: Bake the crusts for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
6. Step 6: While the crusts bake, break the candy bars into individual rectangles. Cut the marshmallows in half using scissors that have been dipped in cold water to prevent sticking.
7. Step 7: Remove the muffin pan from the oven and place one chocolate rectangle into each crust cup.
8. Step 8: Place one marshmallow half, cut side down, on top of the chocolate in each cup.
9. Step 9: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the marshmallows are just softened.
10. Step 10: For browned marshmallow tops, switch the oven to broil and broil the s’mores bites for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
11. Step 11: Let the s’mores bites cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before removing them carefully from the pan.

Tips & Variations

• Use dark or white chocolate instead of milk chocolate for different flavor profiles.
• Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty combo.
• Toast marshmallows over a kitchen torch for more control instead of broiling.
• Line the muffin pan with mini cupcake liners to make removal easier and mess-free.

Storage

Store s’mores bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to keep the graham crust crisp. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days; bring to room temperature before serving. Reheating briefly in a warm oven can refresh the gooey texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular-sized marshmallows instead of cutting them?

Using whole large marshmallows will make the bites too tall and difficult to assemble, so cutting them in half helps them fit perfectly and melt evenly.

What can I do if I don’t have a mini muffin pan?

You can use a regular muffin pan, but expect larger bites that will take longer to bake. Alternatively, use a small baking dish and cut into squares after baking.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Crust

• 7 whole graham crackers (equals 1 cup, finely crushed)
• 1/4 cup (28g) powdered sugar
• 6 Tbsp (86g) unsalted butter, melted

Filling & Topping

• 2 milk chocolate candy bars (1.55 oz each), divided into rectangles
• 12 large marshmallows, cut in half

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crust cups.
2. Crush Graham Crackers: Finely crush the whole graham crackers using a food processor, slap chop, or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and smashing them until you have about 1 cup of fine crumbs.
3. Mix Crust Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with powdered sugar and melted unsalted butter until well mixed.
4. Form Crust Cups: Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan. Evenly divide the crumb mixture among the cups, pressing down firmly to form shallow crust cups.
5. Bake Crust Cups: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 4-5 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown.
6. Prepare Chocolate and Marshmallow: While the crust is baking, break the chocolate bars into individual rectangles as they are scored. Cut each marshmallow in half using scissors dipped in cold water to prevent sticking.
7. Add Chocolate to Cups: Remove the muffin pan from the oven and place one piece of chocolate into each crust cup.
8. Add Marshmallow Half: Place one marshmallow half, cut side down, on top of each chocolate rectangle inside the crust cups.
9. Bake Again: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 2-4 minutes, just until the marshmallows are slightly softened and starting to puff.
10. Optional Broil: If you prefer a toasted, golden-brown marshmallow top, set your oven to broil and broil the s’mores bites for 1-2 minutes carefully watching to prevent burning.
11. Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Let the s’mores bites cool for 15 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan and serving.

Notes

• Use scissors soaked in cold water to cut marshmallows easily without sticking.
• Watch carefully during the broil step to avoid burning the marshmallows as they brown quickly.
• You can swap milk chocolate for dark or white chocolate based on preference.
• These bites are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers.
