The best part about s’mores… the taste. The worst part about s’mores… the mess. This recipe brings all the flavor of these year-round treats with minimal mess. I say year-round because yes, s’mores are typically associated with fall, but I like them on 4th of July too. Is that just me? In Florida, we have a lot of rain in the summer (yes… the Sunshine State… somebody was being funny)… anyway- lots of afternoon and evening showers, which can sometimes prevent fireworks and firepits. Luckily we have this s’mores bites recipes that requires no firepit, no roasting… just an oven. And you can make them ahead of time for your next gathering!
To note: I use a food processor to crush the Graham Crackers. You can also do it the old fashioned way in a large Ziploc bag. Or… they also sell crushed graham cracker crumbs in the baking aisle of most grocery stores.
S'mores Bites
Equipment
- Mini Muffin Baking Pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup Crushed Graham Crackers (one sleeve of eight crackers equals one cup)
- 1¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
- ⅓ cup Sugar
- ½ cup Light Brown Sugar (packed)
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ½ cup Melted Butter (one stick)
- 1 Egg
- 12 Large Marshmallows (halved)
- 24 Squares of Hershey Chocolate (I use the 10-pack of the minis Hershey bars)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F
- Spray mini muffin baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Combine all dry ingredients (graham crackers, flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt) in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the melted butter and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
- Scoop tablespoon size balls of the dough and roll with your hands. Then, firmly push the balls into the muffin molds on the baking pan. The dough should not be level with the pan, but rather slightly below.
- Bake for 8 minutes at 350 °F
- Right after baking and while the dough is still warm - using a teaspoon, press down and make a dent into each of the cups to make room for the marshmallows. Add the marshmallow halves to the cups.
- Broil in the oven for 2 minutes on high. Immediately after broiling, add the pieces of chocolate to the tops of the marshmallows.
- Let set for 15 to 20 minutes. The chocolate will get melty and runny, then firm again.
