Notes on Ingredients
- Graham Cracker Crumbs: The base of the recipe, giving that iconic s’mores flavor. You can make your own crumbs by crushing graham crackers or use store-bought.
- Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness to the graham cracker base.
- Unsalted Butter: Helps bind the crumbs together and gives them a rich, buttery flavor.
- Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars: Classic milk chocolate for that authentic s’mores taste.
- Marshmallows: Large marshmallows are cut in half to create the perfect, gooey top for each bite.
How to Make S’mores Bites
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Divide the mixture evenly into a mini muffin pan and press it into shallow cups. Bake for 4-5 minutes until the edges bubble.
- Add Chocolate: Once out of the oven, place two small pieces of Hershey’s chocolate into each cup.
- Top with Marshmallows: Cut marshmallows in half and place them cut-side down into each cup. Return to the oven for 3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Cool and Finish: Let the cups cool before removing them. Melt the remaining chocolate and dip the top of each marshmallow into the chocolate. Let the chocolate set before serving.
How to Serve S’mores Bites
These bite-sized treats are best enjoyed once the chocolate has fully set. They make a great addition to a dessert platter, snack table, or party tray. Serve them as-is or pair them with fresh fruit for a fun contrast of flavors.
How to Store S’mores Bites
To store, place the S’mores Bites in a single layer inside an airtight container. They will keep for up to one week at room temperature. For best results, avoid freezing, as this can alter the texture of the marshmallow and chocolate.
