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!

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!

S’mores Bites
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.
I used the bottom of a shot glass sprayed with canola oil to press the graham cracker mix into the mini muffin tin. It fits perfectly and allows you to get a crust that holds together. I have had zero issues with crusts sticking or falling apart. Fantastic recipe!
What a smart idea! I’m making these tomorrow for a cookie swap and will have to try this!
While these tasted good, they fell apart. All the graham crumbs continued to be crumbs after cooking. I let them cool and everything. Sorry to say I won’t make these again.
These are my go-to for every party everyone loves them thank you for sharing this recipe with us…. this time I made them I was asked to put reese’s instead of regular chocolate they are soooooo good ????
This recipe is horrible. Followed it to the T, graham crackers were soaked in butter 5 minutes after putting them in the oven. It took 20 minutes (AND COUNTING) for them to harden up. Throw the whole recipe in the garbage.
Hi “Mad as Hell”,
We and so many other people have made this countless times with amazing results.
Just made these for an NYE party! They’re cooling now, I CAN’T wait… our whole apartment smells like s’mores, I’m drooling. I subbed kisses for rectangles since it’s what we had on hand, then popped the kisses in the oven on top of the graham crusts for 2 minutes to melt them a tad before smothering them with the marshmallow half. Fingers crossed the graham crackers don’t crumble on me. Any secret to getting these suckers out of the pan without demolishing them? I lightly greased with butter before filling.
Even if they break, who cares, I’m eating them all!
I’m sad, I came from the original post and read all the comments about them being crumbly so I added more butter and from texture it should oils have been perfect. I even used a shot glass to make sure I packed them TIGHT just finished them and it completely fell apart. I needed them for a bake sale so I guess that won’t work ?
Jazmine, I am so sorry to hear that. Did you let the s’mores bites cool before removing them from the pan? I like to use a sharp knife or tiny spatula to help lift the edge.
Made these today as a stay at home desert! I miss camping with my Girl Scouts. I hope my daughters appreciate these.
Just made them (they’re actually cooling right now!) But they smell delicious! I did put my own spin on half of them, and used 1/4th of a full sized reeses cup instead of the Hershey squares…fingers crossed they turn out!
I made these, it was so greasy and the crumbs came apart. I’ll def make these agin with adding butter as needed.
Delicious and easy to make. I did need a little extra crumb mixture to fill the 24 muffin tins.
