Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 graham crackers (split into 16 squares)
- 8 heart-shaped marshmallows (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 oz pink or red candy melts (or white chocolate tinted with food coloring)
- 4 oz milk or dark chocolate
- Valentine’s-themed sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Chocolate Layers:
- Melt the milk or dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, melt the pink or red candy melts the same way.
2. Assemble the S’mores:
- Dip one side of each graham cracker square into the melted chocolate, alternating between milk/dark chocolate and pink/red candy melts.
- Lay the dipped crackers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with Valentine’s-themed sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. Let set until firm (about 10 minutes at room temperature or 5 minutes in the refrigerator).
3. Toast the Marshmallows:
- Toast the heart-shaped marshmallows using a kitchen torch, over a gas stovetop flame, or on a skewer under a broiler (watch closely to avoid burning).
4. Build the S’mores:
- Place a toasted marshmallow on the chocolate-covered side of a graham cracker.
- Top with another graham cracker, pressing gently to sandwich the marshmallow.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately for gooey, melty goodness.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Dip the graham crackers and toast the marshmallows in advance. Assemble just before serving.
- Substitutions: Use strawberry or raspberry marshmallows for a fruity twist.
- Gifting Idea: Wrap individual s’mores in clear cellophane and tie with a ribbon for a thoughtful Valentine’s Day treat.
