Chocolate. Graham crackers. Marshmallows.
S’mores have long been a summer favorite dessert, there’s nothing like roasting marshmallows over a campfire and sandwiching them between two graham crackers. I really hope we get the chance to go camping this year, but until then, we can make s’mores right at home!
S’mores cups with a graham cracker crust
We decided to try making some s’mores at home, but with a little twist. If you’re having a summer get together, or just lounging by the pool, these individual dark chocolate mini s’mores cups are perfect! I got the idea of oven roasting marshmallows from this peanut butter s’mores pie recipe, I love dark chocolate and I thought it would be great to try out on a s’more.

makes (12) s’mores cups
Ingredients:
- Graham crackers
- Butter
- Brown sugar
- Marshmallows
- Ghirardelli® Sea Salt Soiree squares
Step 1: Make the graham cracker crust
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Make sure your graham crackers are finely crushed, you can use a food processor, or actually buy them pre-ground. In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and brown sugar.
In a 12-cup cupcake pan, firmly press the mixture into each cup, leaving a space in the center. I used the bottom of a shot glass to make sure it was packed tight.
Step 2: Add chocolate and marshmallow to cookie cups
Bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes, remove the pan from the oven, and immediately turn on your broiler. Add first one piece of Ghirardelli® chocolate, then one marshmallow to the center of each cup.
Step 3: Broil the s’mores cookie cups
Place pan on top rack in the oven and broil the marshmallow tops until brown and melted. Be careful, and make sure you WATCH this step as they broil. It tends to happen fast and if you walk away, they will probably burn. Experience, y’all.
Give them a bit of time to cool, but not too long, these are the best while still hot. As soon as you can touch them, gently wiggle each one out of each cup with a butter knife and try it. OH, MAN. This smores cups dessert recipe is easy and oh so GOOD!
