Variations

Storage/Reheating

Store S’mores Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
To reheat, place a few bites on a microwave-safe plate and warm in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to soften the chocolate and marshmallow. Avoid overheating to prevent the marshmallows from melting completely.

FAQs

How do I keep the crust from crumbling?

Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into each muffin cup to help it hold together after baking.

Can I use regular-sized muffin tins?

Yes, but you’ll get fewer servings and need to increase the baking time slightly to ensure the crust sets properly.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely. Prepare them a day in advance and store in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Do I have to use mini marshmallows?

Mini marshmallows work best, but you can cut regular marshmallows into smaller pieces if needed.

What type of chocolate is best?

Milk chocolate gives that classic s’mores flavor, but you can use dark or semi-sweet chocolate based on your preference.

How do I prevent sticking in the muffin tin?

Lightly grease the tin or use nonstick cooking spray. You can also use mini cupcake liners for easier removal.

Can I freeze S’mores Bites?

Yes, freeze them in a single layer and then transfer to a freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Are these good for kids’ parties?

Definitely! These bite-sized treats are fun, easy to eat, and loved by both kids and adults.

Can I toast the marshmallows more?

If you like a toasted top, use a kitchen torch after baking for a golden-brown finish.

Can I make a gluten-free version?

Yes, just substitute gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free option.
