Ingredients You’ll Need

As a Certified Nutrition Coach, I love that you don't need any melted butter or powdered sugar for this no-bake dessert! But they'll come out just an indulgent.

Gluten-free Graham cracker crumbs: the kind you use may change the texture a bit. I’ve used both Kinnikinnick and Schar If you’re dairy-free also make sure to double-check there’s no butter!

Dark chocolate: grab large chocolate chips or even big thick squares. The choice is yours as you will be melting it down. I find that the smores cups taste best with %85 but some people don’t like theirs as tart.

Coconut oil: this is what replaces melted butter from a classic recipe. Know that cold-pressed, extra virgin coconut oil has the best health perks but it also has a slight coconut taste. So, use what you’re comfortable with.

Honey: you only need a hint in the graham cracker crust as this is what helps hold them together and replaces any need for powdered sugar. Make sure to use real honey and not pasteurized and processed honey.

Marshmallows: you want the mini marshmallows for these bite-sized cups! Though you can find healthier, vegan marshmallows, any of them will work as they don’t need to be melted.

Step By Step Photos

How To Make S'mores Cups

1. Crush graham crackers (to make graham cracker crumbs) and melt coconut oil.
2. Pour oil and honey into graham crackers and stir.
3. Portion the graham cracker crusts into a silicone mini muffin pan ¾ full and press down. Make sure there is a small divot in the middle of each cup.
4. Add a dollop of melted chocolate chips over the top of the graham crackers cups.
5. Scoop out the peanut butter into the middle.
6. Add mini marshmallows on top
7. Pop in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Important Teaching Tips

The graham cracker cups won’t look wet enough after mixing, but that’s okay! The harder you press them into the silicone mini muffin pan the better they’ll hold together.

Make sure not to fill the muffin pan to the top with crust, otherwise the chocolate will spill over. Fill ¾ of the way and make sure to leave a tiny divot in the middle to hold a pudding of chocolate and peanut butter.

Use fresh, real peanut butter to ensure the s'mores cups are extra creamy.

How To Serve Them

The s'mores cups only need to be in the freezer long enough to set. After that, they can be stored in the fridge or freezer.

If stored in the freezer, let them sit at room temperature for 10-30 minutes. If in the fridge, you can eat them right away.

They also taste great ever slightly warmed up then they taste just like you're beside a campfire and rocking toasted marshmallow!

Important Products

You will want a silicone mold for the s'mores cups. Ideally, one that results in a bite-size treat! Regular, paper muffin cups won’t allow you to press the graham cracker crusts into them as well. Likewise, they peel a bit coming off.

A silicone mold just lets you pop them right now.
