Variations

Use dark chocolate or white chocolate instead of milk chocolate.

Use flavored marshmallows for a fun twist.

Storage/Reheating

S’mores Nachos are best enjoyed immediately while the chocolate is melted and the marshmallows are soft and gooey. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5–7 minutes until warmed through. Microwaving works as well, although the graham crackers may become softer.
