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

- perfect to serve at a party

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

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

- 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.

- 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.

- Cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan.
I’m making these for a Halloween party, im going to add chocolate chips to be eyes ! So cute!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I’m just curious if there’s a tip to keep the marshmallows fluffy vs. flattening?
Marshmallows will naturally flatten as they cool because they will lose air!
So I made these exactly as directed, but the marshmallows sink down in the middle once I removed them from the oven. What did I do wrong?
The marshmallows will naturally deflate over time!
Just made these and they are incredible!!!!! Thank you for such an easy and delicious recipe 🙌🏼💗
Made these today and got 36 muffin cups of crumbs. I did use liners to make them easier to remove from the pan. We will try these out after dinner tonight.
IT WAS OK
Excellent recipe and they are delicious.
One question…. how did you grease the mini muffin tin? I used Pan baking spray (the one with flour) and they were all stuck in the pan.
I had to use a plastic 1/2tsp I had and push hard on an edge until they would pop free.
Hi James! I used pam non-stick cooking spray. I use the edge of a knife or small spatula to loosen the edges and then they pop out.
I’ll be making these today, I’m case there are left overs, what’s the best way to store them? Air tight container on the counter?
Hi Bree! Yes, in an airtight container on the counter.
You actually have a “Slap Chop”???
Classic!!
Great recipe by the way. Thank you.
Yes I do!
S’mores are growing on me (I’m not born American) and I love this less messy way of eating them but..do I have to add more sugar to the crumbs? All ingredients already have enough sugar for me. I should be able to do just crumbs and butter, right?
Yes, you can omit the powdered sugar if you prefer!
