S’mores Bites Recipe

Introduction

S’mores Bites are a fun and delicious twist on the classic campfire treat. These mini morsels combine a crunchy graham cracker crust, melty chocolate, and soft marshmallows, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth anytime.

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.
2. Step 2: Finely crush the graham crackers into crumbs using a food processor, a slap chop, or by placing them in a plastic bag and smashing them.
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter.
4. Step 4: Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan. Evenly divide the crumb mixture into each cup and press down to form shallow cups.
5. Step 5: Bake the crusts for 4-5 minutes or until the edges turn golden.
6. Step 6: While baking, break the chocolate bars into individual rectangles and cut the marshmallows in half using scissors dipped in cold water.
7. Step 7: Remove the pan from the oven and place one chocolate rectangle into each crumb 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 2-4 minutes until the marshmallows are slightly softened.
10. Step 10: For browned tops, switch the oven to broil and broil the s’mores bites for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
11. Step 11: Allow the bites to cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan.

Tips & Variations

• Use flavored chocolate bars such as salted caramel or peanut butter for a fun twist.
• Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking to enhance the flavors.
• Try using mini marshmallows whole instead of halved for a puffier top.
• Grease the mini muffin pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray to ensure easy removal.

Storage

Store leftover s’mores bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat briefly in a warm oven or microwave for a few seconds if you want the gooey texture back.

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the s’mores bites.

5. Bake Crust: Bake the crust cups for 4-5 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven after baking.
