Mini S’mores
These mini s'mores capture the flavor of a classic treat, without the fire, smoke and burnt sugar.S’mores are one of those special treats that aren’t made often enough, likely because most of us don’t sit around a campfire very often. This mini s’mores recipe solves that problem, recreating the classic s’mores flavor without a campfire or any flame. Melted chocolate chips and dipping chocolate take the place of the chocolate bar, and a jar of marshmallow creme replaces bagged marshmallows. No smoky odor in your clothing, no mosquitoes—and no chance of accidentally burning the marshmallows! It’s all the fun of making s’mores desserts without straying too far from the original design.
Servings: 4 dozen (about)
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 (14.4oz) pkg graham crackers quartered
- 1 cup marshmallow creme
- 2 (7 oz each) cartons milk chocolate for dipping
Instructions
- Place chocolate chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; stir with a whisk until smooth. Cool to room temperature or until mixture reaches a spreading consistency, about 10 minutes.
- Spread chocolate mixture over half of the graham crackers. Spread marshmallow creme over remaining graham crackers; place over chocolate-covered crackers, pressing to adhere.
- Melt dipping chocolate according to package directions. Dip each s’more halfway into dipping chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets; let stand until dipping chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
Mini S’mores Variations
- Use cinnamon graham crackers: Cinnamon graham crackers feature a light coating of cinnamon and sugar for added flavor. Use them in place of the usual graham crackers for a note of sweetened cinnamon.
- Make way for cookies: Use cookies in place of graham crackers. Square or rectangular shortbread cookies work well for making these mini s’mores, and vanilla wafers are another good choice.
- Add peanut butter: Spread peanut butter on half the graham crackers before adding the chocolate for a unique flavor combination. (Alternatively, mix 2 tablespoons of peanut butter into the marshmallow creme before spreading it onto the graham crackers.) Other nut butters, such as almond butter or pistachio butter, can be used in place of peanut butter.
