How to Make this

Print Recipe (No Advertisments)

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a mini muffin pan so the bites won’t stick.

3. Pour in 1/3 cup of melted unsalted butter over the cracker crumbs and stir until everything is nicely combined.

4. Spoon the graham cracker mixture evenly into each muffin cup and press it down firmly to make a good base.

5. Next, sprinkle about a tablespoon of semisweet chocolate chips over each base, making sure to cover them well.

6. Top each one evenly with mini marshmallows, try not to pack them too tight so they can melt nicely.

7. Place the pan in the oven and bake for around 8 to 10 minutes until the marshmallows are light and toasted.

8. Keep an eye on them cause they can burn pretty easy if left in too long.

9. Remove the pan from the oven and let the bites cool for a few minutes before taking them out.

Equipment Needed

1. A working oven (make sure it heats up to 350°F)
2. A mini muffin pan (this is what you’ll use to bake the bites)
3. A medium-sized mixing bowl (for crushing the graham crackers and combining them with melted butter)
4. A measuring cup (for the 1/3 cup of unsalted butter)
5. A sturdy spoon or spatula (to stir and press the cracker mixture into the pan)
6. Another spoon (optional, for evenly sprinkling the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows)
7. A cooling rack or plate (for when you take the bites out of the oven so they can cool down)

FAQ

Q: Can I substitute the semisweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate?

A: Yup, you can totally use milk chocolate instead. The taste might be a bit sweeter, so just be ready for a slight change in flavor.

Q: Do I need to crush the graham crackers really fine?

A: It's best to crush them as fine as you can because they mix better with the melted butter and hold all the bits together good.

Q: Is it necessary to chill the s'mores bites before serving?

A: Yes, letting them chill helps the chocolate set and gives the bites a firmer texture, making them easier to eat.

Q: Can I add extra ingredients like nuts or sprinkles?

A: Sure thing, you can customize your s'mores bites with extra toppings. Just remember that it might change the texture a little bit.

Q: How do I store the leftover s'mores bites?

A: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh. Try not to keep them out in a warm room or they might get too melty.

S’mores Bites Recipe Substitutions and Variations

If you dont have graham crackers, you can try using vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits since they have a similar sweet and crunchy texture.
You can use salted butter in a pinch but make sure to lower the added salt or even try coconut oil if you want a dairy free option.
If semisweet chocolate chips aren’t available, dark or milk chocolate chips work great and give a slightly different but tasty flavor.
When mini marshmallows are hard to find, you can chop up regular sized marshmallows into bite sized pieces instead.

Pro Tips

1. Try giving the graham cracker base a quick chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before adding the chocolate and marshmallows – it helps the base set firmer so you dont end up with a soggy bite.
2. If you like extra gooey chocolate, mix in a few extra chocolate chips into the graham cracker mixture or sprinkle some on top after baking while its still warm.
3. Be super careful with the baking time because every oven is different; even an extra minute can make your marshmallows burn and leave a bitter taste.
4. Press the graham cracker crumbs really well in the muffin cups; if you dont press them hard, the base might crumble apart when you take them out, so make sure its packed nice and firm.
