    How to make bite-sized smores

    This smore bites recipe is so simple to make.

    Pretzels placed onto a parchment paper covered baking sheet.
    Pretzels topped with toasted marshmallows on a baking sheet.

    Put on the Marshmallows

    Place pretzels on parchment paper covered rimmed baking sheet. Top each pretzel with a marshmallow in every hole. Broil in the oven for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the marshmallows are toasted. Keep an eye on them - this happens fast! 

    Chocolate bars placed onto the toasted marshmallows.

    Put on the Chocolate

    Next, place one of the chocolate bars on top of the marshmallows, returning to broil in the oven for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the graham cracker crumbs.

    Add the final pretzel on top, making sure to push the pretzel down gently so it sticks. Serve s'mores bites recipe immediately or allow to cool and store for snacking.

    Hint: Be prepared to place baking sheet in fridge until chocolate is set if it becomes too soft.

    How to Store Pretzel S'mores Bites

    Storing Pretzel S'mores Bites is simple and convenient. To maintain their freshness, always store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 or 4 days.

    They may become less crunchy and stale over time, so it's best to enjoy them within a day or two. Also, be mindful not to place them in direct sunlight or near any sources of heat, as this may cause the chocolate to melt.

    If you find the chocolate is melting, you can always toss them in the fridge to keep from having a chocolatey mess.

    You can prepare Pretzel S'mores Bites ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together, if necessary. I find once they're set you don't need to.

    You can freeze these but the texture of pretzels will be different. You need to wrap them first in plastic wrap and place inside an air tight container or resealable bag if you need to.

    What to Serve With

    When serving these delightful snacks, consider arranging them on a glass platter or ceramic plate. They are the perfect addition to any sweet table.

    A cold glass of milk or a refreshing iced tea can provide the perfect balance to the rich chocolate, salty pretzel, and gooey marshmallow snack.

    Tips for Making S'mores in the Oven

    By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to creating mouthwatering Pretzel S'mores Bites that are sure to impress your friends and family.

    • Keep a very close eye on the S’mores Bites while they are under the broiler. Marshmallows can burn quickly, and your chocolate can turn into liquid.
    • Use fresh marshmallows for best results.
    • Use fitted parchment paper to line your baking sheet making it easier to remove the Pretzel S'mores Bites and preventing them from sticking.
    • Once removed from the oven, give the Pretzel S'mores Bites a few minutes to cool down and allow the chocolate to set slightly and prevent mess.
    • Place baking sheet in fridge until set if chocolate becomes too soft.
    • If you're planning on serving a crowd, don't hesitate to make a large batch, as they tend to disappear quickly.

    FAQ

    Are Pretzel S'mores Bites suitable for parties or gatherings?

    Absolutely! Pretzel S'mores Bites make a fantastic party snack or dessert. They're easy to prepare, making them ideal for last-minute gatherings, and are sure to be a hit with guests of all ages.

    Can I eat these warm or cold?

    Either! We love them fresh out of the oven and they are just as good after they’ve cooled down to room temperature. You can't go wrong with them at either temp!

    Can you make this pretzel s'mores bites recipe in the microwave?

    Technically, you can but trust me when I say that they're delicious in the oven. The microwave may cause the pretzels to lose their crunchiness and the marshmallows to melt unevenly. The way that the broiler melts and toasts that marshmallow will have you feel like you're eating right from the campfire.

    Instructions
     

    • Gather all your ingredients and get ready for an easy dessert.
    • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (the broil setting).
    • Arrange half of the mini pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Top each pretzel with a marshmallow.
    • Broil in the oven for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the marshmallows are toasted.
    • Next, place one of the chocolate bars on top of the marshmallow, returning to broil in the oven for another 1-2 minutes.

    Notes

    • Keep a very close eye on the S’mores Bites while they are under the broiler. Marshmallows can burn quickly, and your chocolate can turn into liquid.
    • Use fresh marshmallows for best results.
    • Use fitted parchment paper to line your baking sheet making it easier to remove the Pretzel S'mores Bites and preventing them from sticking.
    • Once removed from the oven, give the Pretzel S'mores Bites a few minutes to cool down and allow the chocolate to set slightly and prevent mess.
    • Place baking sheet in fridge until set if chocolate becomes too soft.
    • If you're planning on serving a crowd, don't hesitate to make a large batch, as they tend to disappear quickly.
    • I broke the snack size chocolate bars in half to fit better. If you don’t break them in half, you will most likely need an additional bag of chocolate.
    AIR FRYER DIRECTIONS: Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. Use cooking spray. Cooked 4 minutes with only marshmallows in pretzels. Added chocolate and closed lid for 1 more minute with air fryer off or until chocolate softens on top. Remove immediately from air fryer. Add crumbs and last pretzel immediately. I found the chocolate too soft and melted when trying to remove them from air fryer if I built them inside air fryer.  Have everything ready once you remove half built s'mores from air fryer because they cool down quickly.
