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!

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!

- graham crackers
- powdered sugar

- 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 look great! For a more “grown up” twist try it with Cayenne pepper chocolate or liqueur chocolates.
Oh! Interesting ideas!
I made these this evening. I’m lazy and used the box graham crackers and WOW! They are so good! I could eat the whole batch myself! I did a couple with peanut butter cups just for fun. This is the best idea ever!!
Adding peanut butter cups sound great!
Is it okay to make these a day in advance, or will they get hard?
Hi Bri! The marshmallows will harden up. I would suggest making them the same day you’ll be serving them, but you could try it, I’m unsure of what the results would be like!
Is it ok if I make them in the morning the day of the event, but they aren’t served until about 4pm?
Hi Bri, if you make them in the morning and serve them later, come back and let me know how it goes!
I just made these and they are delightful!!!
Great news Katie, glad you liked them!
The simplest way to make graham cracker crumbs is to put them in a ziplock bag and run a rolling pin over them. Or if you don’t have a rolling pin, just crush them with your hands and rub between your hands until crumbled. Rolling pin works very well.
I use the rolling pin method a lot now!
If made the night before, where should you store them?
The marshmallows will get crunchy and hard I think if you make them the night before.
Can we use regular or granulated sugar instead of powered sugar?
I have not tried this recipe with regular sugar!
Just made this with my two young boys this afternoon. I loved how easy it was and how much my boys could help with breaking the chocolate bar and helping to assemble everything. And I just tasted one — oh my delicious :)Thanks for a great recipe!
This is one of my go to party recipes and everyone loves it. Thanks so much for the fun and easy recipe!
Thank you for posting this! Just made them. They are cooling. How did you get your marshmallows to look perfect? Mine kind of deflated and look scary. Ha ha. I’m sure they still taste good though!
