Nothing brings back camping memories quite like the flavor of s'mores, but these marshmallow truffles make it possible to enjoy that campfire charm any time right at home without the sticky mess or smoky clothes. This recipe puts a familiar favorite into a bite-sized treat you can whip up for parties or a fun family snack

The first time I made these was for a movie night when my niece came to visit It took less than half an hour and it actually became a tradition every time she has a sleepover

Gather Your Ingredients

• Large marshmallows: these create a perfectly soft and gooey center use the freshest you can find for best texture
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips: give a rich chocolatey shell without being overly sweet opt for good-quality chocolate for smoother melting
• Coconut oil: helps get silky melted chocolate and that easy snap if you bite into the shell you can also use vegetable shortening if needed
• Graham cracker sheets: for that signature s'mores crunch use crackers that are fresh and finely crushed for even coating

How to Make It

Prepare Your Surface:

Set up a baking sheet lined with parchment paper This will be the landing place for your dipped and coated marshmallows

Melt the Chocolate:

Combine your chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl Microwave in thirty second bursts stirring well each time This prevents scorching and gives you smooth glossy chocolate

Dip Marshmallows:

Using a fork or skewer gently dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate Make sure each one is completely covered and let the excess drip off back into the bowl

Coat with Graham Crackers:

Immediately transfer the chocolate-covered marshmallow into your bowl of crushed graham crackers Roll it gently so every side is covered in crumbs do not press too hard or the chocolate may slip off

Set on Tray:

Place each marshmallow on the prepared parchment-lined tray Space them apart so the chocolate can set without sticking together

Repeat Until Done:

Continue dipping and rolling all the marshmallows using the same method You might need to stir the chocolate a few times if it starts thickening

Chill to Set:

Put the tray into the refrigerator for fifteen to twenty minutes so the chocolate hardens and forms a snappy shell The coconut oil helps the shell set quickly at a cool temperature

Ready to Serve:

Once the chocolate shell feels hard to the touch enjoy right away or store them in an airtight container at room temperature Chocolate will stay crisp if kept out of direct sunlight and humidity

Honestly the best part for me is rolling the truffles in graham cracker crumbs I always let my daughter do that step Afterward our kitchen smells like toasted s'mores and it sparks so many fun camping stories

Flavor Boosters

For more flavor swap regular marshmallows for strawberry or peppermint Add orange zest to the graham cracker crumbs for a zing Sprinkle colored sugar over the coating for holidays

Serving Suggestions

Serve on a platter at parties or in mini cupcake liners They are great as gifts a topper for ice cream or cocoa or skewered and drizzled in more chocolate for a dessert platter

Creative Twists
