Description

Mini S’mores are bite-sized versions of the classic campfire treat, featuring crunchy graham crackers, gooey toasted marshmallows, and melted chocolate. These easy treats deliver all the nostalgic flavors of traditional s’mores without needing a campfire. Perfect for summer parties, family movie nights, barbecues, and quick desserts, they can be prepared in the oven in just minutes.

Ingredients

Base

  • 12 graham cracker sheets, broken into 24 small squares

Fillings

  • 12 marshmallows, halved
  • 12 squares milk chocolate or 1 cup chocolate chips

Optional

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Arrange Base Crackers: Place half of the graham cracker squares (12 pieces) evenly on the prepared baking sheet as the base of each mini s’more.
  3. Add Marshmallows: Put one marshmallow half on each graham cracker square, cut side down, to prepare them for toasting.
  4. Bake for Toasting: Bake for 3–5 minutes, watching carefully to ensure the marshmallows puff up and turn a light golden color without burning.
  5. Add Chocolate: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately place a square of milk chocolate or a spoonful of chocolate chips atop each warm, toasted marshmallow.
  6. Top and Press: Place the remaining graham cracker squares on top of the chocolate-covered marshmallows and gently press down to form a sandwich.
  7. Optional Softening: Return the assembled sandwiches to the oven for 30–60 seconds if you want the chocolate to soften and meld with the marshmallow.
  8. Cool Before Serving: Allow the mini s’mores to cool for 2–3 minutes. This step ensures the filling sets slightly and is safe to eat without burning your mouth.

Notes

  • Use a broiler: For a more toasted marshmallow flavor, broil for 30–60 seconds, watching constantly to prevent burning.
  • Chocolate options: Try dark chocolate, white chocolate, or peanut butter cups for variety.
  • No graham crackers: Substitute with digestive biscuits or other crisp, sweet biscuits if unavailable.
  • Party variation: Add sliced strawberries or banana inside the mini s’mores for a fruity twist.
  • Make ahead: Assemble just before baking for the best texture and experience.
  • Storage: Best eaten immediately; leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day, though crackers may soften.
