Cooking Time & Prep Time

• Prep Time: 5–10 minutes
• Cooking Time: 3–5 minutes
• Total Time: About 10–15 minutes

These s’mores come together very fast, so they are great when you want a quick sweet treat.

Ingredients

• 8 graham cracker squares (4 whole crackers, broken in half)
• 4 marshmallows
• 4 small pieces of milk chocolate or chocolate squares
• 4 teaspoons peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
• 4 teaspoons jelly or jam (strawberry, grape, or raspberry work well)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the graham crackers
   Place half of the graham cracker squares on a plate or tray. These will be the base of your s’mores.
2. Spread the peanut butter
   Spread about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter on each base cracker. Keep it in the center so it does not spill out later.
3. Add the jelly
   Spoon about 1 teaspoon of jelly on top of the peanut butter. Spread gently. Mixing the two slightly is okay.
4. Add chocolate
   Place one piece of chocolate on top of the peanut butter and jelly layer.
5. Toast the marshmallows
   Toast the marshmallows over a fire, grill, or stovetop flame until golden and soft. If indoors, you can broil them in the oven for 1–2 minutes. Watch closely so they do not burn.
6. Assemble the s’mores
   Place the hot marshmallow on top of the chocolate. Cover with the remaining graham cracker square.
7. Press gently and enjoy
   Press lightly so everything melts together. Let it sit for a few seconds, then enjoy while warm.

Small tip: Warm chocolate melts faster, so work quickly after adding the marshmallow.

Tips & Variations

• Different jelly: Try blueberry, raspberry, or mixed fruit jam.
• Dark chocolate: Use dark chocolate for a richer taste.
• Extra crunch: Add chopped peanuts or crushed cookies inside.
• Gluten-free: Use gluten-free graham crackers.
• Vegan option: Use dairy-free chocolate, vegan marshmallows, and plant-based spreads.
• Less sweet: Use less jelly or switch to natural peanut butter.

Kitchen tip: If peanut butter is too thick, warm it slightly so it spreads easily.
