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!
