I wouldn’t say s’mores bites are less messy than the original s’mores, perhaps a bit fancier, in which case we suggest that you devour them with your pinky finger out and with a napkin on your lap. Just joking!

Special Tools

The only special tool you need to make this smores bite recipe is a mini muffin pan!

How to make S’mores Bites

Graham cracker layer

Finely crush the graham crackers into crumbs.

Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and melted butter into a small bowl.

Evenly divide the crumb mixture into a mini muffin pan, grease slightly before using. Press crumbs down to form shallow cups. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are golden.

Hershey’s bars

Remove the pan from the oven and place one Hershey’s bar into each cup.

Marshmallows

Cut the large marshmallows in half. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup.

Once you added the marshmallows, then they go back in the oven.

The ‘hardest’ part of this recipe is probably crushing the graham crackers, which I did with my slap chop because I didn’t want to dirty up my food processor.

Total Time Required

  • 5 minutes to prep the crust
  • 5 minutes to pre-bake the crust
  • 4 minutes to add the chocolate and marshmallows
  • 2-4 minutes to bake until gooey

Marshmallow Cutting Tip

This is the easiest, non-sticky way to cut marshmallows in half. Dip scissors in a glass of water before cutting each marshmallow. The water will prevent the marshmallow from sticking to the scissors.

After finishing up your S’mores Bites, eat the leftover Hershey’s bars or you could save them for your next real bonfire!

Ingredients

  • 7 whole graham crackers, equals 1 cup, finely crushed
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 milk chocolate candy bars (I used hershey's), divided into rectangles, 1.55 oz each
  • 12 large marshmallows, cut in half

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Finely crush the graham crackers into crumbs, using whatever method you want. I used my slap chop, but a food processor would work or even putting them in a plastic bag and smashing.
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and melted butter into a small bowl.
  • Evenly divide crumb mixture into each cup of a 24 cup mini muffin pan, grease slightly before using. Press crumbs down to form shallow cups.
  • Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are golden.
  • While that’s baking, break the candy breaks into the divided rectangle pieces. Also cut the marshmallows in half using a scissors that has been sitting in cold water.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and place one chocolate rectangle into each cup.
  • Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup.
  • Return to oven for 2-4 minutes or until marshmallows are just slightly softened.
  • If you’d like the tops to be brown, turn the oven to broil, and broil the s’mores bites for 1-2 minutes.
  • Cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan.
