Ingredients

- Chocolate Chips
- Mini Marshmallows
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Arrange the Golden Grahams on the baking pan, spacing them at least half an inch apart.
- Step 3: Cut the mini marshmallows in half and place one half on each Golden Graham.
- Step 4: Bake in the oven for 3 minutes to soften the marshmallows.
- Step 5: Remove the tray and press one chocolate chip on top of each softened marshmallow.
- Step 6: Return the tray to the oven for about 1 minute to soften the chocolate chips without melting them completely.

Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, try using flavored chocolate chips like mint or caramel.
- Cutting the marshmallows in half helps them melt evenly without overflowing.
- Try substituting the top Golden Graham with a different cereal for added texture.
- If you prefer gooier centers, reduce the second baking time slightly.
Storage
Store your Mini S’mores Bites in an airtight container or Ziploc bag at room temperature. They stay fresh for up to 2 days. To enjoy, serve at room temperature—no reheating needed as they’re best when the marshmallow remains soft but the chocolate is just slightly melted.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini ones?
Yes, but mini marshmallows work best to create perfectly sized bites. If using regular marshmallows, cut them into smaller pieces to maintain the right proportion.
What type of chocolate chips work best?
Regular semi-sweet chocolate chips are ideal for these bites, but feel free to experiment with milk, dark, or flavored chips to suit your taste preferences.
