• Milk Chocolate Chips – Contributes rich chocolate flavor; dark chocolate can be used as a healthier alternative.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for S’mores Bites!

Step 1: Prepare Graham Crackers
Start by taking your graham crackers and breaking each sheet into four equal pieces. Ensure all pieces are uniform for even stacking later on. Arrange these pieces on a clean working surface, so they’re ready for assembly. This crunchy base sets the stage for your delightful S’mores Bites!

Step 2: Assemble Bites
Take one piece of graham cracker and spread a generous layer of marshmallow cream on top. Gently press another graham cracker piece down on the cream to create a sandwich. Repeat this process until you’ve used all the crackers and marshmallow cream, placing the assembled bites on a sheet of parchment paper to keep them from sticking together.

Step 3: Chill
Once your S’mores Bites are assembled, place them in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This chilling time helps firm up the marshmallow cream, ensuring the bites hold their shape when dipped in chocolate. If you’re pressed for time, a short stint in the freezer will work in a pinch while you prepare for the next step!

Step 4: Melt Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and coconut oil, ensuring you have enough oil to help the chocolate set nicely. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely smooth and fully melted. This glossy chocolate coating will provide a rich finish to your S’mores Bites.

Step 5: Dip Bites
Remove the chilled graham cracker sandwiches from the refrigerator. Using a fork, dip each bite halfway into the warm melted chocolate, ensuring that the bottom half is well coated. Lift them out and gently tap the fork against the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off before placing them back onto the parchment. A sprinkle of flaked salt adds a delightful touch!

Step 6: Set and Serve
Allow the dipped S’mores Bites to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate has set. For an even firmer texture, place them back in the refrigerator for another 10 minutes. Once set, they are ready to serve! These easy no-bake S’mores Bites make for a perfect treat for any occasion, so enjoy every delectable bite!

Make Ahead Options

These Easy No-Bake S’mores Bites are perfect for meal prep, allowing you to savor the delightful flavors without the fuss on the day of your gathering! You can assemble the bites up to 24 hours in advance, simply refrigerate them on parchment paper to keep them from sticking. If you prefer a longer prep time, they can also be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days after assembly, ensuring they stay just as delicious and fresh. When you’re ready to indulge, just melt the chocolate, dip the bites, and let them set. This way, you can enjoy a sweet treat anytime without the hassle of last-minute preparation!

What to Serve with Easy No-Bake S’mores Bites

As you indulge in these delightful summer treats, consider adding a few complementary flavors and textures for a well-rounded experience.

Fresh Fruit Salad:
Bright, juicy fruits like strawberries and blueberries provide a refreshing contrast to the rich, sweet bites. The natural sugars in the fruit enhance the dessert without overwhelming it.
Ice Cream:
A scoop of creamy vanilla or chocolate ice cream makes a luscious pairing. The cold creaminess balances the warmth of nostalgia found in the S’mores Bites.
Chilled Lemonade:
The tartness of a glass of homemade lemonade cuts through the sweetness, creating a perfect harmony. It’s an uplifting drink to sip on while enjoying your treats on a warm day.
Chocolate Fondue:
For those who crave more chocolate, set up a small chocolate fondue station. Guests can dip their bites in warm chocolate for an indulgent twist.
Nutty Trail Mix:
A bowl of mixed nuts and dried fruits offers the perfect crunchy complement. This savory element adds a crunchy texture and a hint of saltiness that accentuates the sweetness of the bites.
Mini Cheesecakes:
Add a creamy element with mini cheesecake cups. Their tangy notes beautifully contrast the sweetness of s’mores while maintaining that delightful dessert vibe.
Caramel Sauce:
Drizzle some warm caramel sauce on top of S’mores Bites for an extra layer of richness. The gooey texture pairs perfectly with the bites, making for a truly decadent treat.

S’mores Bites Recipe FAQs

What kind of graham crackers should I use?
I recommend using unsweetened graham crackers for a balanced flavor, but if you have dietary preferences, gluten-free graham crackers work beautifully too! Look for ones that are not overly sweetened to let the marshmallow cream shine through.

How should I store leftover S’mores Bites?
Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their luscious gooeyness. They’ll stay fresh for up to 1 week! If you plan to enjoy them beyond that, it’s best to freeze them in separate layers with parchment paper in between to avoid sticking, and they can last up to 3 months in the freezer.

Can I freeze S’mores Bites?
Absolutely! To freeze, place them in a single layer in an airtight container with parchment paper in between layers. They will hold up well for about 3 months. When you’re ready, just move them to the fridge to thaw overnight or leave at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.

What should I do if my chocolate isn’t melting smoothly?
If you find your chocolate is seizing up or isn’t melting smoothly, try adding a teaspoon of coconut oil to the mixture while melting. Make sure to melt in short 30-second intervals, stirring in between, which helps achieve that dreamy, silky consistency essential for a perfect dip!

Are there any dietary considerations I should know about these S’mores Bites?
Yes! If anyone at your gathering has allergies, be mindful that these bites contain gluten (from graham crackers), dairy (from chocolate and marshmallow cream), and can also be high in sugar. For those with dietary restrictions, consider using gluten-free graham crackers, dairy-free chocolate, and a natural sweetener for the marshmallow cream. Always check ingredient labels!

How long should I chill the assembled S’mores Bites before dipping?
Chilling the assembled bites for at least 15 minutes is essential; this step helps them maintain their structure when you dip them in chocolate, preventing marshmallow oozing. If you’re in a hurry, a quick 10-minute freeze works wonders, too!
