Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (1.55-ounce) milk chocolate bars, divided into squares
- 12 large marshmallows, cut in half
Instructions:
- Prepare the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.
- Make the Crust:
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar. Add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into each mini muffin cup. Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides to form a crust.
- Bake the Crusts:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Add the Chocolate and Marshmallows:
- Place a square of milk chocolate on top of each graham cracker crust.
- Top each chocolate square with a marshmallow half, cut side down.
- Bake the S’mores:
- Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the marshmallows are soft and slightly puffed.
- For a toasted marshmallow effect, you can turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the mini s’mores to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing them.
- Serve warm for the best gooey experience, or let them cool completely for easier handling.
Enjoy your Mini S’mores, a perfect blend of crunchy, melty, and gooey goodness that brings the classic campfire treat into your kitchen in an adorable and delicious form!
