Description
S’mores bites bring classic campfire flavors into a delightful miniature treat. Graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow combine in a perfect handheld snack you can enjoy anytime.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 milk chocolate bars (Hersheys), broken into small squares
- 12 large marshmallows, halved
- 1 cup (240 ml/8 fl oz) graham cracker crumbs (about 8 full crackers)
- ¼ cup (60 ml/2 fl oz) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsps (30 ml/1 fl oz) granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheating: Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and thoroughly coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick spray.
- Crust Formation: Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until achieving a consistent, slightly damp texture. Distribute the mixture evenly into each muffin cavity, compacting firmly with a tamper or spoon to create a uniform base.
- Initial Baking: Bake the crusts for 5 minutes until light golden and structurally set, then remove from the oven.
- Chocolate and Marshmallow Layer: Position a chocolate segment on each graham cracker base, topped with a marshmallow half (cut side down).
- Melting and Caramelizing: Return the pan to the oven for 2-3 minutes, allowing chocolate to melt and marshmallows to become puffy. Switch to broil, carefully monitoring to achieve an even golden-brown surface.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow s’mores bites to cool for several minutes, then gently release using a thin knife or offset spatula. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking: Generously spray mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of s’mores bites without breaking.
- Control Crumb Consistency: Mix graham cracker crumbs thoroughly until they resemble slightly damp sand, ensuring a compact and stable base for each bite.
- Watch Broiling Carefully: During final browning stage, keep a close eye on marshmallows to prevent burning, rotating pan if needed for even golden coloration.
- Temperature Timing: Allow s’mores bites to cool for a few minutes after baking, which helps them set and makes removal from the pan easier and cleaner.
