How to Make Easy S’mores Bites
Step 1 – Prep the crust
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan.
Combine crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, and melted butter.
Step 2 – Bake the base
Divide mixture evenly into the pan, pressing to form shallow cups.
Bake 4–5 minutes until golden at the edges.
Step 3 – Add chocolate and marshmallows
Place one chocolate piece in each crust, then top with a marshmallow half, cut side down.
Step 4 – Bake again
Return to oven for 2–4 minutes until marshmallows soften.
For a toasted top, broil 1–2 minutes.
Step 5 – Cool and serve
Cool for 15 minutes on a rack before gently removing from the pan.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
What to Serve Them With
Enjoy as a fun dessert at cookouts, holidays, or kids’ parties.
Pair with hot chocolate, coffee, or a tall glass of milk.
Serve alongside fresh fruit for a sweet platter.
Variations / Substitutions
Swap milk chocolate for dark or white chocolate.
Use flavored marshmallows (like strawberry or caramel swirl) for a twist.
Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty bite.
Storage & Leftovers
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Reheat briefly in the oven to re-soften the marshmallows.
Freeze (without marshmallows) for up to 1 month; top with fresh marshmallows before reheating.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, but they’re best served the same day for gooey marshmallow texture.
Can I use mini marshmallows instead of large ones?
Yes, place 2–3 minis on each chocolate piece.
Do I need to line the muffin pan?
No, just grease well. The crust holds together once cooled.
Can I use graham cracker crumbs instead of crushing crackers?
Yes, about 1 cup of crumbs works perfectly.
What if I don’t have a broiler?
Skip the broil step; they’ll still be deliciously gooey.
How do I keep them from sticking to the pan?
Grease well and let them cool before removing. A butter knife can help loosen edges.
