S'mores Bar Cups

Ingredients:

• Graham cracker crumbs (about 2 cups)

• 1/4 cup butter (melted)

• Mini marshmallows (or large marshmallows cut in half)

• Chocolate bars (such as Hershey’s, cut into small pieces)

• Mini muffin tin (or cupcake tin)

• Whipped cream (for topping)

• Optional toppings: Sprinkles, caramel drizzle, peanut butter chips, or crushed nuts

Instructions:

1. Make the Graham Cracker Crust:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

   • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture is slightly wet and holds together when pressed.

   • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each cup of a mini muffin tin.

   • Press the crumbs into the bottom of each cup to form a crust.

   • Bake the crust for 5-7 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

2. Assemble the S’mores Cups:

   • Once the crust has cooled slightly, break pieces of chocolate bars and place them on top of the graham cracker crust.

   • Top with mini marshmallows (a few per cup).

3. Toast the Marshmallows:

   • Place the muffin tin under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes, keeping an eye on them so the marshmallows lightly brown and toast. You can also use a kitchen torch if you have one!

   • Important: Keep a close watch on the marshmallows to avoid burning.

4. Finishing Touches:

   • Once toasted, remove the tin from the oven.

   • Top each s'mores cup with a dollop of whipped cream and any additional toppings you like, such as caramel drizzle, sprinkles, or crushed peanuts for a fun twist.

5. Serve & Enjoy:

   • Let the s'mores bar cups cool for a couple of minutes, and they’re ready to serve! You can plate them up or let guests grab them as they are.

Bonus Ideas to Elevate Your S’mores Party:

• S’mores Station: Set up a DIY s'mores station where guests can build their own s'mores with different toppings like peanut butter, Nutella, flavored marshmallows, or caramel.

• S’mores Nachos: Layer graham crackers, chocolate chips, marshmallows, and caramel sauce on a baking sheet, then bake until gooey. Serve with a side of whipped cream or chocolate dipping sauce.

• Frozen S’mores Pops: Dip marshmallows in melted chocolate, coat with crushed graham crackers, and freeze for a cool twist on s'mores!
