I never let a summer pass without experiencing the tradition of making S'mores. Who doesn't love a sweet summer dessert for a party or the 4th of July. But what do you do if you don't have access to a fire pit to make them the old fashion way? Don't sweat it. Use your oven and make indoor s'mores!
They are baked in a mini muffin pan with graham cracker cookie base, a piece of gooey milk chocolate in the middle and a toasted marshmallow on top. Whether you're making them for a summer barbecue, cookout or a picnic, these s'mores cups are the perfect summer treat.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
Do you know what s'mores is short for? "Some More." I never knew that until I made this recipe! The S'mores Cup has the 3 traditional ingredients that everyone loves, in a bite size form.
The bottom layer has a graham cracker crust as the foundation. Next, is the rich chocolate layer and then the gooey marshmallows on top.
Everything in moderation right? That's why the S'mores Dessert is the perfect summer treat because they're already perfectly proportioned for an individual serving size. However, it's safe to say I may have gotten carried away going back for seconds, or fourths… don't say I didn't warn you!

How to Make the Graham Cracker Crust:
You may feel tempted to resort to crushing the graham crackers by putting them in a plastic bag to keep from dirtying extra dishes, but trust me it's worth it to break out the food processor! You want the graham crackers to be finely chopped, crumb like, in order to stick together to form the cup of your S'more.
- Finely crush the graham crackers into crumbs using a food processor.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and melted butter into a small bowl.
- Evenly divide the crumb mixture into each cup of a 24 cup mini muffin pan. Press the crumbs down to form shallow cups.
- Bake for 4 -5 minutes or until the edges are golden.
