Step‑by‑Step Instructions for S’mores Bites

Step 1: Prepare the Graham Crackers
Begin by breaking your graham crackers into squares to create the base for your S’mores Bites. You’ll need two pieces for each bite, so ensure you have enough for your desired quantity. Use a sharp knife or just your hands to break them cleanly. After breaking, lay them out on a clean surface or plate, ready for the marshmallow crème.

Step 2: Make the Sandwich
Take one of the graham cracker squares and generously spread a layer of marshmallow crème on top. Aim for an even layer that coats the entire surface. Once you’ve added the crème, place a second graham cracker square on top, pressing gently to create a sandwich. Repeat this step until you have as many sandwiches as desired for your delightful S’mores Bites.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips and melt in 30-second intervals at medium power, stirring between each interval. Usually, this process takes about 1 to 2 minutes. Look for smooth, melted chocolate without any lumps. If you prefer, you can also use a double boiler on the stovetop. This luscious melted chocolate will become your perfect coating for the S’mores Bites.

Step 4: Dip the Sandwiches
Carefully dip each marshmallow-filled graham cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated for that beautiful shiny finish. You can use a fork or a skewer to make dipping easier and less messy. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated bites on a parchment-lined tray. Work quickly, as the chocolate can start to firm up.

Step 5: Let Them Set
Once all your S’mores Bites are dipped, place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set. You’ll know they’re ready when the chocolate is firm to the touch and glossy. For an extra touch, consider drizzling some leftover melted chocolate over the tops for decoration before they harden completely.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once set, your S’mores Bites are ready to be enjoyed! You can serve them chilled or at room temperature, allowing the flavors to pop. For the best texture, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. These bites are perfect for gatherings, cozy movie nights, or just a sweet treat on a rainy day.

Make Ahead Options

These S’mores Bites are a fantastic option for busy home cooks looking to save time and simplify mealtime. You can prepare the Graham cracker sandwiches filled with marshmallow crème up to 24 hours in advance; just assemble them, and keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their delightful texture. For even longer storage, you can freeze the assembled bites for up to 3 months—just make sure to layer them between parchment paper to prevent sticking. When you’re ready to serve, simply melt the chocolate and dip the frozen sandwiches. Allow them to set in the fridge for about 30 minutes, and enjoy these no-bake delights with minimal effort!

S’mores Bites Recipe FAQs

What should I look for when selecting marshmallow crème?
Absolutely! When choosing marshmallow crème, look for a jar with a smooth texture and no dark spots or air bubbles. I often opt for brands that have the least number of additives for the best taste. You can also make your own if you’re feeling adventurous, which will give you more control over the sweetness!

How should I store my S’mores Bites for optimal freshness?
Very important! Keep your S’mores Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. This method preserves their texture and prevents the chocolate from becoming dull. If you’re feeling organized, you can also freeze them—just layer them between parchment paper in an airtight container, and they’ll last for up to 2 months.

Can I freeze S’mores Bites, and if so, how?
Definitely! To freeze your S’mores Bites, first, let them cool completely after dipping in chocolate. Then place them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container, separated by parchment paper for easy access. Make sure to seal the container well to avoid freezer burn. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply thaw them in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.

What should I do if my chocolate coating isn’t smooth?
If your chocolate isn’t melting smoothly, you might be overheating it. I recommend melting it in 30-second intervals and stirring between each round. If it’s still too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening to loosen it up. This will help achieve a creamy, velvety finish that’s perfect for your S’mores Bites.

Is there a vegan option for these S’mores Bites?
Absolutely! For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate for coating and opt for a plant-based marshmallow crème. There are many brands available; just check the labels to ensure they contain no animal products. You can also substitute graham crackers with vegan-friendly cookies to keep everything in line with your dietary preferences.

Can my pets eat S’mores Bites?
No, it’s best to keep these S’mores Bites away from pets. The chocolate can be harmful to dogs and cats, and the marshmallow crème and graham crackers may also upset their stomachs. Always ensure any treats you share with your furry friends are safe for their dietary needs!
