An easy S’mores recipe and one of our favorite desserts to make all year round.
S’mores Bites are a twist on the classic s’mores dessert, make these mini s’mores in the oven!
Making and enjoying s’mores is a summer classic. But what do you do if you don’t have access to a fire pit to make them the old fashion way?
Well you get a bit creative- you can use the grill, the microwave, the stove, and dare I say a candle!
This recipe for S’mores Bites incorporates the 3 key ingredients that everyone loves, but is way more portable to bring to a party than a fire pit!
Why You’ll Love It
- 5 ingredients
- incorporates the classic s’mores flavor
- perfect to serve at a party
- a unique twist on original bonfire s’mores
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!
What You’ll Need
For the full ingredient list and instructions, scroll down to the recipe card.
- graham crackers
- powdered sugar
- butter
- hershey’s chocolate bars
- large marshmallows
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.
This photo shows the bites post-baking and in the process of putting the chocolate squares on.
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!

These are so much fun! As someone who ate (more than) her fair share of campfire s’mores growing up, I love having this indoor option. My kids will agree.
And they are SO good!
Love these little bites! So fun, and now I’m craving them BIG TIME! :)
It’s S’MORES TIME!
How did you know my weakness is smores?! Girl. I need these ASAP because I don’t think the hubby will stand outside with a fire just to roast me a smore…..sad. I know.
Hahaha!! You crack me up!
I love smores and I LOVE mini desserts :) Best of both worlds! These look fantastic Beth!
Thank you Serene!
Hi! Thank you for the recipe! I cant wait to try it. I have two quick questions: 1. Do you think I could bake these in cupcake liners? (Ya’know, easier to clean afterwards, ha!); 2. If I cook these the night before it is served, is it okay to refrigerate it or is it better to leave them out covered on the counter? Thanks again for sharing this recipe!
Hi Keli-Grace! I suppose you could use cupcake liners, but make sure they are mini cupcake liners because they are suppose to be made in a mini muffin pan. Definitely do not refrigerate them, because the marshmallows will get really hard. But these really only take 20 minutes to make, and they will taste best if you make them on the day you will be serving them.
These look so delicious – I am dreaming of summer now!
S’mores could also be a Valentine’s thing, good thing it’s coming up :)
Thanks for the reply! These are delicious!
I hope they turn out wonderfully!
Hey my cups didn’t come out very stable. Is there a way to remedy this? I love them and they are delicious, but the graham cracker cups just feel apart.
Hi Thomas! Did you press the graham cracker and butter mixture firmly into the mini muffin pan? I would suggest pushing that mixture firmly into the pan if you are having issues with them falling apart. I’m sorry to hear you’re having this issue!
I had the same issue, Thomas. Trying to see if anyone has a remedy for this.
These look wonderful. I am going to make them for my 12 year old daughter to take to a party at church on Sunday. I need to get some mini muffin pans. Do you have a recommendation? I see a lot of pans come in 24. Do you recommend that or getting two pans of 12?
Thanks
Hi Candie! I recommend this pan: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DIX3O/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0000DIX3O&linkCode=as2&tag=thfiye-20&linkId=6IFWVEB5RY4N2LWA
