If you ever camped during the summer, you've made s'mores. Here's an easy way to make mini s'mores at home. I found this recipe on the Pampered Chef website.
S'more Cups
7 whole graham crackers (1 cup finely crushed)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
4 bars (1.55 oz each) milk chocolate candy, divided
12 large marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place graham crackers into a large resealable plastic bag. Finely crush into crumbs. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and butter in a small bowl.
Place 1 tablespoon of crumb mixture in each cup of a mini muffin pan. Firmly press crumbs to form shallow cups. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling. Meanwhile, break two of the candy bars into rectangles. Remove pan from oven; place one rectangle into each cup.
Cut marshmallows in half crosswise using shears dipped in cold water. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup. Return to oven 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are slightly softened. Remove pans from oven to cooling rack; cool 15 minutes. Carefully remove cups from pan. Cool completely.
Break remaining candy bars and place in small microwavable bowl. Microwave on high 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 20 seconds. Dip the top of each marshmallow in melted chocolate. Turn top-side up and let stand 40 to 60 minutes or until set. Makes 24 cups.
Note: Store the cups in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Freezing is not recommended.
For a richer chocolate flavor, substitute dark chocolate candy bars for the milk chocolate.
Each cup has 100 calories and 6 g fat.

Oh my gosh!
ReplyDeleteI have the ingredients to do these outside for my grandsons- but it is way too hot!
We will be making these this afternoon!

How easy and adorable! Not only do they look yummy, the photography on the photos (especially the last one) is amazing. What settings on the camera did you use?
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious and less messy variation on the theme.
ReplyDeleteHope your having a great August, Sallie.
Fondly,

These look amazing! I'm going to pin them on my smores board right now! I hope you'll link up to my sweet treats party tomorrow!

How simple and so adorable! We love s'mores in this house. I need to give these a try.
ReplyDeleteI host a weekly foodie meme called Friday Food Fight. I would love for you to link up and share your s'more recipe. Hope to see you in the ring! :-)
O yum!!!!!!!!!! these look super awesome!!! thanks for posting and for the mouth-watering photos!!!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, I've been craving s'more...these little guys sound so yummy and easy! I saw this over at Just A Girl! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI found these on Pinterest and it led me here to your blog. I love your blog and all your recipes. I just made the smore's cups and I am in love! I love smore's and I like that I have a different way to make them.
ReplyDeletethese look AMAZING!!!! thanks for sharing! just stumbled upon your blog today... i'm your newest follower! love your recipes!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh be still my s'mores powered beating heart! They look so good I could lick my monitor screen. But I won't. Really
ReplyDeleteYou're being featured!!! CONGRATULATIONS! Your post was one of the top 3 most viewed last week at Cast Party Wednesday. Please join me again tomorrow for another GREAT party and don't forget to grab a "featured" button!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for visiting me.
I hope to see you again tomorrow!
They were awesome! Thanks for sharing! I only made 12, mostly because I didn't read ahead and see that it made 24! But I doubled everything and it worked out well. Actually, I like the size and if (ok, when) I make them again will just go ahead and double it again - and maybe make two batches because these are going quickly!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
I am a Pampered Chef consultant, and I would love to poat a picture on my Facebook page..can I ? Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThese look SO easy and fabulous! Very cute for a party.
ReplyDeleteoh my I am going to do this!..Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI made these and linked to you on my blog. Hope you don't mind! just-me-and-t.blogspot.com They were delicious!
ReplyDeleteFound you via Pinterest, and have been drooling over these for 2 weeks. Finally made them this afternoon. We had some trouble with the melted chocolate part; it wouldn't stay melted! We decided it was fine without the dip, but in the future we will probably put a rectangle of chocolate on top as we take them out of the oven, before they cool. Won't be quite as pretty, but they won't last long enough to look at, anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteThese look awesome! Nice and bite sized with quite a bit less mess. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHi I just made these tonight for a BBQ tomorrow. Can you tell me what cutting "crosswise" means for the marshmallows? I can't seem to cut it so that they come out round. I used Kraft marshmallows. How did you get yours to look so round and nice? Yours look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI cut the marshmallows horizontally. Then I have two thin round marshmallows. I used my kitchen shears dipped in ice water. I hope this helps
ReplyDeleteDo these have to be served warm...I would like to do for school goodie day.
DeleteThey are great at room temperature.
DeleteJust made this using Golden Peabutter to keep it safe for my nut-allergic daughter. Everything else I did the same (except I just eyeballed the milk and chocolate chips)- the kids LOVED it... said it should be entered in to a contest :) Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteWe are going camping this weekend, and with the burn ban in place, will not be able to have a campfire. How can we go camping without s'mores??? I am definitely making these before we go! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMade these for a party and they were a hit! They've already been requested a few times since then :)
ReplyDeleteaha!!! this is a great idea! thanks for sharing the recipe!
ReplyDeleteMade these tonight, and they are so good! Had to make a second batch because my husband and I polished off half of the first!
ReplyDeleteI made these yesterday for the kids to have today (Thanksgiving). Well, I of course, had to sample before I could serve them to family and friends. I thought they were fabulous! Thanks for the idea! ~Sherry
ReplyDeleteI just made these in my dorm - they were devoured in literally 5 minutes. Gonna make them again after finals
ReplyDeleteMade these this morning; were an absolute hit! And I won 2nd place in a holiday bake-off with them! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations mabsmith on your second place finish in the holiday bake-off!
ReplyDeleteMade these for teacher Christmas party and they were delicious! Everyone wanted the recipe! Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteI love how your picture looks so much more appetizing than the one on the Pampered Chef website :) Will be making these tomorrow. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI made these for NYE...OMG...they are so good! My family requested I make them again tonight!
ReplyDeleteEven better - place the completed, marshmallow-topped cups under the broiler to toast the marshmallow on top instead of just softening it. Also, since I'm the weird one and like LESS chocolate on my s'mores, I would melt the chocolate and pipe some into the cups instead of placing a whole solid rectangle piece in there. That would be plenty of chocolate for me :)
ReplyDeleteJamie, such great ideas! I will definitely be browning the marshmallow tops next time. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCannot wait to try this one! I used to work for Hershey's Chocolate so Smores are near and dear to my heart.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to make these! They look so great! I'm a new follower! I hope you'll follow me back but no pressure. :-)
ReplyDeleteI made these but put all the chocolate beneath the marshmallow then broiled the tops and they were delish and oh so easy. I'd definitely double the recipe. I used coconut marshmallows on the second batch and those were everyone's favorite! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI just saw these on Pinterest... yummy!! Such a great alternative to the real thing, and so much easier since I don't have a fire pit to roast marshmallows :)
ReplyDeleteThink these will be great during halftime for the superbowl!
ReplyDeletejust made these. found the recipe on pinterest. i used regular sized muffin tins (not the mini ones), but i didn't make cups, just made a "crust." i didn't add powdered sugar to the cracker crumbs. i used hershey kisses in place of the chocolate bar pieces and i didn't dip the tops in melted chocolate. YUMMIE!
ReplyDeleteMade these tonight, seriously fantastic, contemplating gifting to friends on birthdays...so good, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how these would taste with rice-crispie-treat-like bases for a gluten free treat? Has anyone tried it?
ReplyDeleteMy children and I are gluten-free. You can buy Graham Style crumbs or crackers, by Kinnikinnick foods. They are also dairy free and nut free.
DeleteI made these yesterday but they did not turn out like I thought. I was only able to get 12 out of a batch. There was way to much butter for only 1 cup of graham crackers and 1/4 cup powdered sugar. They were so greasy. What did I do wrong?
ReplyDeleteJamie
jamiekch@comcast.net
Jamie, I'm sorry they didn't turn out for you. Make sure you have a full cup of finely crushed graham crackers. It may take more than seven crackers. You can also buy a box of graham cracker crumbs. That's what I do now that I don't have kids at home to eat the leftover crackers. I hope this helps.
DeleteI had the same problem, I definitely needed WAY more crackers than the recipe called for and they were super greasy. Oh well... hopefully they'll still taste ok. I like the idea of toasting the tops in the broiler. I just put dollops of melted chocolate on top of mine and that worked really well. Less finicky than trying to dip them.
DeleteI made these for NYE & they didn't last long at all. They were DELICIOUS! I can't wait to make them again :) Thanks for the recipe, found it on Pinterest :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie! Don't you just love Pinterest?!
DeleteThese turned out AWESOME! Thank you, found on Pinterest!
ReplyDeleteJust made these to bring to a super bowl party tomorrow... I may have to make another batch because I might just eat all of these right now! So delicious!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteAlexis, did they make it to the party? I hope everyone liked them! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThese were great! I made them for my super bowl party!
ReplyDeleteWere they a hit? I hope so! So glad you liked them.
DeleteQuestion: I plan on making these for a baby shower and I was wondering if I can make them a few days or the day prior and if the marshmallow will stay "melty soft?"
ReplyDeleteI would probably make them the day before the shower. I hope they turn out for you.
DeleteThank you! I'll let you know.
DeleteI can't figure out what I did wrong...following the directions only gave me 10 minis so I repeated and got 10 more. What am I not seeing? I know they will still taste good since you can't go wrong as long as there's chocolate involved. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDepends on how much of the graham cracker mix you used per slot, and how big the pan is, I only got 22 out of mine...
DeleteThat's right.I think mini-muffin pans can be different sizes. It also depends on how thin you press the crust in each muffin cup. I used the mini-tart shaper from Pampered Chef to press the crumbs into the muffin cups.
DeleteAMAZING! SOOOO TASTY! Thanks for the recipe! I used two different kinds of chocolate in mine, a Hershey's Symphony bar for the inside, and Godiva chocolate for the outside...
ReplyDeleteYUM!! I bet they were delicious!
DeleteI just used the tablespoonful that the recipe called for but I quit before the dipping step because I had the same problem a previous poster had, with them being way too greasy so here's what I did. I dumped them all into a bowl, resoftened the whole mess in the microwave for about 30 secs then mixed in 2 more cups of crackers. I pressed the mix out into a pan, covered with the rest of the chocolate & more marshamallows, popped under the broiler until the marshmellows were toasted & chocolate softened. After they sat in the fridge for about hour they were perfect and I had a whole pan full of smore bars. All's well that ends well!!
ReplyDeleteDiane, sorry you had trouble. I'll make the s'more cups again, to see if I can understand the problem some people are having. Making the s'mores bars was a great idea.
DeleteI wonder if we Canadians are trying to make an American recipe ... maybe our graham wafers are smaller up here ... I made some that were greesy (haven't eaten them yet, but as I tried to make them initially I had to keep adding graham wafer crumbs and don't actually know how many I used in the end, but clearly it still wasn't enough.) I am not a baker, but I will try to make these again sometime.
DeleteI checked the Pampered Chef website and found the metric measurements for the ingredients. Maybe this will help.
Delete250 ml graham cracker crumbs, 50 ml powdered sugar, and 90 ml butter.
I think you're right. I'm blaming the graham crackers! Next time I'll measure out the cup of graham crackers and see how many that adds up to. So cute, I'm willing to give them a second shot!
Deletemaking these to bring to my next event!!! I lovvvveeee this idea! So brilliant! :)
ReplyDeleteI found this recipe on Pinterest and had to make them! I tried the s'mores bar recipe a couple weeks ago and these are 10x better. The only issue I had was that the graham cracker mixture crumbled really easily. Any suggestions???.... Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tonya! Just like making a graham cracker pie crust, press the cracker mixture firmly in place. I used the Pampered Chef gadget (mini-tart shaper) shown in one of the photos.
DeleteThese sound so good. I love s'mores, but am rarely around a camp fore these days. LOL. I am a new follower. you have a great blog. Patsy (Fairview, Texas
ReplyDeleteS'mores are my favorite! Such a clever idea. Thanks for sharing! ^_^
ReplyDeleteReady to make these...should the muffin pan be sprayed first with cooking spray or will they pop out easily without it?! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think there is plenty of butter in the recipe so that the cups pop out easily. If your muffin pan is not nonstick, it won't hurt to give it a light spray though.
DeleteLooks so good!
ReplyDeleteThese are so fantastic! I used a knife to spread melted chocolate on top because I was afraid to mess them up :) My family loved this treat!Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm so glad they were a hit!
DeleteI made these today for a party I am going to tonight. They look and taste awesome! I can't wait to share them with my families and friends. Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Pampered Chef for such a creative recipe. Thanks for leaving such a sweet comment!
DeleteI made these today and they were great! The only thing I would do different is toast the marshmallows with a brulee torch to give it a campfire kick!
ReplyDeleteWow, Amanda, what a great idea! If I only had a brulee torch. I guess putting the cups under the broiler for a few seconds would work also.
Deletehow do you carefully remove the things from the mini muffin pan? Any good techniques?
ReplyDeleteIf you run a knife around the edges, the s'more cups should pop out.
DeleteI made these tonight and shared with neighbors around their patio fire pit. It was perfect and everyone loved them. I lined my mini muffin tin with mini cupcake liners and they were super easy to get out and also not as messy to eat. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I found it on Pinterest. :)
ReplyDeleteWe don't have Graham crackers in Aussie or NZ so was wondering if you had any suggestions for an alternative biscuit. ie are they plain sweet biscuits (sorry cookies) or flavoured?
ReplyDeleteGraham crackers are sweetened with sugar and honey. I think you could substitute a plain cookie such as vanilla wafers, ginger snaps, or shortbread. I'd love to hear how they turn out with a different cookie(uh, biscuit).
DeleteI made a double batch last night (Tuesday) for a party I'm throwing Friday night. They aren't going to last until then. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI had no issue with them crumbling or sticking and I toasted the marshmallow under the broiler and skipped the dipping. Thank you for sharing such a simple and delicious recipe.
Thanks, Jenna! I'm so glad they were a success. I'm making a variation this weekend. I'll post it if it turns out.
DeleteThese sound so yummy. Definitely have to try them
ReplyDeleteMe a gustado mucho tu blog, así que me quedo por aquí.
ReplyDeleteUn saludo
Found you on pinterst. Going to try these for sure! They sound easy and look yummy!
ReplyDeleteThey are super easy! Hope you love them. Thanks for reading Texas Cottage!
DeleteGoing to make these ASAP. They look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! You'll love them. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteLove this recipe! I adapted it a bit, the proportions of ingredients & added toasted coconut! Delicious! I linked the original recipe back to your blog, gotta give credit where credit is due :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Using coconut is a great idea! I bet it's delicious.
DeleteAs I stated in the first paragraph of this post, I found the recipe on the Pampered Chef website. I cannot take credit for this wonderful idea.
I work for Kraft Foods that owns Nabisco and Cadbury and makes marshmallows. I am going to the company store before going home for the weekend. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place to work! Thanks for stopping by Texas Cottage.
DeleteHey Sallie, just saw these one Pinterest and pinned them!!! Great pic, and I am definitely gonna try these!!! Hope you're having a super great weekend!! <3 Janis
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janis! I hope you get a chance to make the s'more cups. The kids will love them!
DeleteFUN and DELICIOUS! A few changes - you don't need the powered sugar ( save the calories) and not quite as much butter - I used just enough for the cups to stay together. Also - I saved the chocolate bars for a second batch and just broiled the marshmallows - DELICIOUS!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you tried the s'more cups. I think I'll take your suggestion, and make them without the powdered sugar. Thanks!
DeleteThese are delicious - make a double batch! You do not need the powered sugar in the crust - so save the calories! A keeper.
ReplyDeleteYou're the second person to suggest leaving out the powdered sugar. I will definitely have to make this new version. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI made these today but when I tried to remove them from the pan the cups just fell apart. I used fine crumbs and tamped them in pretty well. Baked 5 minutes at 350. Any thoughts?
ReplyDeleteEllen, I had a few that crumbled, but most came out with no problems. Find some type of tool to press the crumbs into the muffins cups. Also make sure you use the right amount of butter. I hope this helps. Good luck!
DeleteLove these! Today will be my fourth time making them! They are always a hit! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteWow, four times! The kids must love them! Thanks for your comment. Since you are a s'more cup expert, do you ever have any of the problems (crumbly or greasy cups) that other readers have? Mine always turn out great, so I wonder why some of these problems arise.
DeleteSalted butter or unsalted butter?
ReplyDeleteTania, I used salted butter, but it probably wouldn't matter which you used.
DeleteI love S'mores, but these are so cute and somehow look like they'd taste even better. Graham crackers are sized differently than they used to be. The ones I get are much smaller, so I think Sallie is right to encourage us to measure our crumbs. I measured the crumbs in a Jello No Bake cheesecake box once. It was 1 cup of crumbs which called for 2 T sugar and 5 T melted margarine or butter. I wonder what difference it makes using powdered sugar in this recipe. Thank you for your great pictures.
ReplyDeleteDiane, thanks for the awesome comment! I only buy the graham cracker crumbs, since there are no kids at home to eat the graham crackers. The crumbs also last for months if kept in a ziplock bag.
DeleteCool! I'll have to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteHere's the direct link to the recipe on Pampered Chef site: http://www.pamperedchef.com/recipe_search/recipe.jsp?id=91599
Thanks, Melissa. I never realized that my link was to the Pampered Chef website and not to the recipe. After all this time, too. Thanks for the link.
DeleteOMG! I just made these using Godiva chocolate bar instead and let's just say they are almost gone. These are definitely party appetizer APPROVED! I love toasted marshmallows, so I stuck them under the oven broiler for a few, and then topped with chocolate. Thanks so much for the recipe. P.S. The marshmallows have this rice crispy treats flavor that makes them so delicious!
ReplyDeleteYum! I love Godiva! Using a good chocolate takes s'mores up a notch. I still need to try them with a dark chocolate, my fave! Glad you love them! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThank you so much! I just made a batch and they came out perfectly and were delicious! I throw a big holiday party every year and these are soooo making the list! Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteDavid
Thanks, David! I think s'more cups are perfect any time of the year. They will be perfect for a holiday party. Bite-size desserts are so fun!
DeleteThis is a just so you know post! I went to my recipe box to find this and it said it links to spam and do not proceed. Because I have made these so many times I knew it linked to your site and I proceeded through anyway and it brought me right to you! I just didnt want you to loose readers somehow if it says its spam.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know. I have no idea why this happened.
DeleteI got the same spam warning.... so glad I ignored it. I got that warning on a couple other sites last week (not spam either).
ReplyDeletethese look great! I can't wait to make them. I see dove bars or nutella for the chocolate. Maybe I'll take these for thanksgiving dinner.
Hi Susan! No spam here. I have no idea why this is happening or what to do about it. I'm not that computer savvy.
DeleteI think using dove bars or nutella would both be delicious! If you have kids (or grown-ups) coming for Thanksgiving dinner, these will be a hit. Thanks for stopping by!
How large are your large marshmallows? Are they the standard marshmallow size? Right now all I've got in my cupboard is mini-marshmallows and giant campfire ones!
ReplyDeleteSara, I used the standard marshmallows. You could just as easily used 3 minis on top. Then, you won't need to cut them in half. Use what you have available and make your own variety of s'more cups. Thanks!
DeleteI was going to make smores on a stick form my daughter's camping party but that idea just got replaced. Looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susannah! S'more cups are perfect for a camping party. You don't have to worry about the kids roasting marshmallows over a fire or poking each other with the sticks. You can tell I raised boys, not girls.
DeleteLook's so good, and seem's so easy to make... Gonna make these for my kids!! Thanks for sharing :) Stephanie
ReplyDeleteStephanie,I know the kids will love them! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI just made these for a BBQ, yes it's December and we are having a BBQ! These are delicious! I wasn't expecting them to tast so great. I'll be making them again for sure. For the chocolate topping I just put melted chocolate in a sandwich bag, cut the end a small amount, and piped it on top. They turned out perfect. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked them! I like the idea of piping on the chocolate. Thanks for the tip. Nothing wrong with having a BBQ in December. We grill year round in Texas.
DeleteLove these gonna do them for a Christmas function
ReplyDelete.
They should be a big hit!
DeleteThese are really great. But I only got 11 little s'mores out of the recipe.
ReplyDeleteDarlene, I'm so glad you liked the s'more cups! I think the number varies because of the thickness of the graham cracker crust. I just made mine a little thinner. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThese are delicious! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Elizabeth. Thank you for reading Texas Cottage!
DeleteWoahhhh, these cups look amazing and they seem to be very easy to make? Love the look!
ReplyDeleteThey are easy to make and so good! I hope you give them a try!Thanks for stopping by.
