Step-by-step
- Cut all 8 marshmallows in half using a pair of scissors and set aside, for later.
- Break 2 of the graham crackers up, following the dotted lines on the crackers. You should have 4 pieces per cracker, then break those 4 pieces into 3 pieces, so you should then have 12 pieces per cracker.
- Crush up remaining graham crackers into crumbs and set aside for later.
- Grease with cooking spray or line with cupcake holders a small cupcake tin or if you use a large one that's okay too it will only make 6-8 large cups and 12-16 small mini-cups, set aside.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl add ½ cup milk chocolate chips with 1/2 teaspoon of oil.
- Place in microwave uncovered and heat for 30-seconds. Remove and stir to combine, place back in microwave and heat for an additional 30-seconds, stir and heat again for another 15-seconds, stir.
- Once fully melted and smooth place a small 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate in the small cupcake/muffin tin, makes 16 for me but make as many as you have chocolate, so if you only get 12 that's fine. I would suggest to stop when you make 16, if you still have some additional chocolate just add to the ones with chocolate already.
- Immediately add one piece of graham cracker and push into the melted chocolate. The chocolate will not cover the graham cracker. If you use a large cupcake tin then add 2 pieces of graham crackers.
- Heat remaining ¾ cup of chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon oil following the same steps above. You can even use the same bowl.
- Once chocolate is smooth and completely melted, add a spoon full of chocolate, a little less than a tablespoon to each chocolate cup and graham cracker you have made in the cupcake tin. Evenly distributing the chocolate between all of the cups. Add leftover chocolate to the chocolate cups you have already made. *Note: if you are using a large cupcake tin just eyeball it when evenly distributing the chocolate, I have not made these measurements.
- When chocolate is divided into each cup, immediately place ½ marshmallow right in the center of the chocolate, lightly push down the marshmallow so that the chocolate rises around it and it becomes set in the chocolate.
- Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
- And repeat the steps until all of the cups are complete.
- Place in the refrigerator about 1-hour or until chocolate has hardened.
- Serve, enjoy and devour! S'mores have never been so fun, easy and less of a sticky marshmallow mess.
- NOTE If you want a toasted S'mores look I just used my creme brulee torch and slight toasted the top of each one, this is completely optional not a must.
