I blame By The (Cook) Book blog for my fall into planet s’mores. As an Australian I have heard so much about this sweet American treat but have never tried them. Part of the reason is the lack of graham crackers here but after the Hungry Dad explained they were similar to digestive biscuits I was ready to make me some s’mores!
By The (Cook) Book found the recipe on the Pampered Chef, a site I’m not aware of. Here’s the recipe that won me over: http://icookbythebook.wordpress.com/2011/11/23/smores-bites/#comment-605
I made a few little adjustments and the most important one was lining the mini muffin pan with strips of baking paper – these acted as little handles to remove the s’mores after they were cooked:
Clever, huh?
In any case, these divine little morsels will weaken your willpower and woo your guests.
GATHER:
7 Graham Crackers or Digestives
6 Tbsp Melted Butter
Best dark chocolate [I used a mixture of milk and dark]
white marshmallows, cut in half horizontally with scissors [again, the jumbo marshmallows called for in the original recipe aren’t available in Australia so just normal size ones are fine]
LET’S GET TO IT:
Preheat oven to 180C and line a mini muffin pan with strips of baking paper, allowing plenty of over-hang.
Place crackers/biscuits in bowl of food processor and whizz until you have fine crumbs. Add in melted butter. Spoon into muffin pan, ensuring you build up a little wall around the sides of the pan. Bake for five minutes.
Break chocolate bar and place a square into each pan. Place a marshmallow on top of each choc sqaure with the sticky side down. Bake 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are soft.
Remove from oven and place another square of chocolate on top of each marshmallow and bake for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove and try to allow to cool a little before attacking with gusto. These are also lovely cold [although s’mores purists will shudder at this thought].

Yum….love marshmallow and chocolate…perfect combination 🙂
I agree! And this is super fast & easy!
Gold star for being the first to comment 🙂
I’m getting fat just looking at that recipe. Looks great.
Yes, they are quite calorific but *so* worth it!
The baking paper strips are GENIUS! I am so stealing that trick next time I make these. I also never knew that s’mores were an American treat! I guess it never occured to me that jumbo marshmallows and graham crackers weren’t the bread ‘n’ butter of the world. lol
Maybe if s’mores became readily available at peace talks, we could finally all just get along 😉
Yes! Make s’mores, not war! Think I’ll get in touch with the UN with that idea…
The baking strips worked a treat, just make sure you have plenty of over-hang.
Thanks!
I saw a S’mores kit at Costco over the weekend and thought of you! Haha
A kit?! That sounds cool x
uh, YUM!!!! 🙂 Love this! definitely going to give this a try! These are completely non-fat, right? 😛
Oh yeah, practically diet food 😉
They are delicious!
They kept getting eaten long after you guys had left, not sure by whom 🙂
Hi there, I really love your blog and I nominated you reader appreciation award, please check http://rabbitcancook.wordpress.com/2012/08/24/reader-appreciation-award/ in the case if you interested to participate, thanks.
Great idea with the paper and muffin tin… you can skip the fire pit thing! And hey marshmallows I think are actually fat free:-)
I wouldn’t dare have a firepit at my house – Miss 4 would set fire to the whole street! And yes – praise be for fat-free marshmallows!
As a s’more connesieur I think to be a true s’more they need to be cooked on an open flame, extra points for lighting the whole marshmallow on fire. But yours look dang good.

Oooh, flaming marshmallow sounds d’lish! I need an American experienced in the way of the s’more to teach me the ways…
Cleverly done on the handles! Those look gorgeous; I bet they tasted even better!
hehehe, maybe I should get a patent for the handles x
*grin* You should. 😉
The closest I’ve come to s’mores is sandwiching a toasted marshmallow between two choc digestives! But these look better, and waaaay more chocolately!
Your DIY version sounds yummy! These are bite-sized so you can have more 🙂
Wow, what a yummy treat! Thanks for sharing!
Cheers! They are fairly delish 🙂
I never realised Graham crackers were like digestives either! A whole new world awaits… 🙂
And I’d forgotten how good digestives were wit a big smear of butter. Oh, the simple things 🙂
I’ve never made s’mores either for the same reason! Never thought to use digestives before. These look soooo good and great idea with the strip of baking paper – genius!
Cheers Christine! I think graham crackers may be sweeter, as the original recipe called for sugar to be added to the bickie crumbs & butter. But I’ll be going to town with the digestives in my baking!
Gee hungry mum. They look grey but your husband must be a big fatty!
Oh, Super Horst, you’re funny x
I meant great!
Love the baking strips idea! Never say no to Smores! 😉
And coz they’re small you can eat more 🙂
Wow – I’ve never even heard of S’mores (I’m from the UK) but these do look delicious (I did click on the link because of the Cadbury chocolate in the picture!). Will be giving these a try 🙂 Katie x
You *must* try them – but be warned, you’ll never look back 🙂
Photos of chocolate can be very powerful! Once you’ve had a s’more you’ll never look back 🙂
