Ingredients

• 8 sheets graham crackers

• ½ cup marshmallow cream (or more, or less!)

• ½ cup milk chocolate chips

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

• Flaked salt

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Prepare the graham cracker sandwiches: Break each sheet of graham crackers into 4 pieces along the perforated lines. Spread a layer of marshmallow cream on one piece and top it with another piece of graham cracker, forming a sandwich. Repeat until all the graham crackers are used up. Place the sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

2. Chill the sandwiches: Place the baking sheet with the graham cracker sandwiches in the fridge or freezer for about 15 minutes. This helps the marshmallow cream firm up slightly, making them easier to dip in chocolate.

3. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips and coconut oil together. Stir until smooth. The coconut oil helps the chocolate firm up at room temperature, but if you’re avoiding it, feel free to skip it.

4. Dip in chocolate: Remove the graham cracker sandwiches from the fridge and dip half of each sandwich into the melted chocolate. Sprinkle with a small amount of flaked salt for an added crunch and flavor boost.

5. Set and serve: Allow the chocolate to firm up at room temperature, or chill the bites in the fridge or freezer to speed up the process. Once set, the S’mores Bites are ready to enjoy!
