Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups / 180g Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp / 85g Melted unsalted butter
- ¼ cup / 50g Granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups / 250g Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups / 150g Mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners.
- Make Crust Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until moist crumbs form.
- Press Crust: Press 1 tablespoon of the mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin liner.
- Bake Crusts: Bake crusts for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Add Chocolate: Evenly divide chocolate chips over the warm crusts. Return to oven for 2-3 minutes, just until chocolate is shiny and slightly melted.
- Add Marshmallows: Remove from oven. Top each with 5-6 mini marshmallows, arranging them to cover the chocolate.
- Toast Marshmallows: Return to oven and bake for another 2-4 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden brown and puffed. Watch carefully to avoid burning!
- Cool: Let cool in the muffin tin for 10-15 minutes before carefully removing.
Notes
Optional Add-ins & Smart Swaps:
- Peanut butter: Swirl in a dollop with the chocolate before baking for a delightful nutty twist.
- Different chocolates: Experiment with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips for a unique flavor profile.
- Sprinkles: Add festive color on top of the marshmallows before baking for a fun, celebratory look.
- Gluten-free: Simply use certified gluten-free graham cracker crumbs for a dietary friendly option.
Tips for Quality:
- Real butter makes a noticeable difference in the crust’s flavor and texture.
- Good quality chocolate chips melt smoothly and taste richer.
- Fresh marshmallows toast beautifully and stay soft and gooey.
- A tiny pinch of sea salt in the crust balances sweetness and enhances flavors.
Troubleshooting:
- Crumbly crust? Add a tiny bit more melted butter, a teaspoon at a time, until it’s moist enough to press.
- Marshmallows browning too fast? Reduce heat slightly or move the tin to a lower rack, and watch them closely.

- Reheating: Gently warm in the microwave for 5-10 seconds for a gooey center. Be careful not to overheat!
