Ingredients
Scale
Crust Ingredients
- 1 cup finely crushed graham cracker crumbs (about 7 whole graham crackers)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Toppings
- 12 regular size marshmallows, cut in half to make 24 pieces
- 2 full size Hershey’s Chocolate Bars, unwrapped and divided into 24 pieces
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the graham cracker crusts.
- Make Crust Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the finely crushed graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter until well mixed.
- Prepare Muffin Pan: Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Scoop the graham cracker crust mixture into each cup and gently press the crumbs into the bottom and sides to form small, even cups.
- Bake Crusts: Bake the crusts at 350°F for 4 minutes or until they are golden brown and set.
- Add Marshmallows: Cut each marshmallow in half to create 24 pieces. Place one marshmallow half into each graham cracker cup with the cut side facing down for even melting.
- Broil Marshmallows: Set the oven to broil and place the muffin pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Watch carefully as marshmallows toast quickly; remove when they are soft and starting to brown.
- Add Chocolate Topping and Cool: Immediately top each toasted marshmallow with one piece of Hershey’s chocolate. Let the s’mores cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully lifting them out with a butter knife.
Notes
- Watch marshmallows closely when broiling to prevent burning.
- Using regular sized marshmallows cut in half helps them fit perfectly in the mini muffin cups.
- Let s’mores cool slightly before removing to ensure they hold their shape.
- For easier removal, you can line the muffin pan with mini cupcake liners.
