Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes a cohesive, slightly crumbly dough that holds together when pressed.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands, take small portions of the graham cracker mixture and press them into mini muffin tin cavities, creating a thin base and sides that cover the entire cavity.
- Place the muffin tin with graham cracker shells in the freezer for 10 minutes to help them set and firm up.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted.
- Remove the graham cracker shells from the freezer. Place a small dollop of remaining peanut butter in the center of each shell, about 1/2 teaspoon.
- Top the peanut butter with 2-3 mini marshmallows, pressing them gently into the peanut butter.
- Carefully drizzle or spoon melted chocolate over the marshmallows, ensuring they are completely covered and sealed.
- Refrigerate the bites for 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened completely.
- Gently remove the bites from the muffin tin using a small offset spatula or knife. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Tips
- Chill Out: The freezer is your secret weapon. Chilling the graham cracker shells helps them hold their shape and makes assembly easier.
- Chocolate Melting Magic: Use low heat and stir frequently when melting chocolate to prevent burning. A double boiler works best, but careful microwave melting is fine too.
- Portion Control: Use a small cookie scoop or teaspoon to ensure consistent size and even distribution of ingredients.
- Make Ahead Friendly: These bites can be prepared in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Customize Your Bites: Experiment with different nut butters or add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an extra flavor twist.
- Room Temperature Matters: Let the bites sit for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly for the best texture and flavor.
