How to Make Simple Five Minute Mini S'mores Pies
- Preheat your oven's broiler on low or set a kitchen torch for toasting marshmallows.
- In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt until combined and crumbly.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into 6 mini silicone or metal muffin cups, forming a firm base for each mini pie.
- Sprinkle half an ounce of chocolate chips into each crust, then place a marshmallow or several mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate.
- Place the pies on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully until marshmallows are golden and toasted and chocolate begins to melt. Alternatively, use a kitchen torch to toast marshmallows evenly.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes before carefully removing from the muffin cups.
- Serve warm for gooey, melty mini s'mores pies that everyone will love.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use a silicone muffin tray for easy removal of the mini pies without sticking.
- Keep a close eye while broiling marshmallows—they can brown quickly and burn.
- If you prefer extra gooey chocolate, add a little more chocolate chips before toasting.
- For a fun twist, sprinkle crushed nuts or a pinch of sea salt on top after toasting.
- Let pies cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth on hot marshmallows.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover mini s'mores pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day, as the marshmallows may harden over time. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.
You can reheat the pies briefly in a microwave for about 10 seconds to soften the marshmallow and chocolate again. Avoid overheating, as marshmallows can become tough or chewy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these mini s'mores pies without an oven broiler?
Yes! You can use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows instead of broiling. This gives you precise control and prevents overcooking.
Can I use different types of chocolate?
Absolutely. Milk, dark, or even white chocolate chips work well. Choose your favorite for a personalized twist on the classic s'mores flavor.
How do I make the graham cracker crust gluten-free?
Simply substitute gluten-free graham cracker crumbs or use crushed gluten-free cookies. The rest of the recipe remains the same.
Can I prepare these mini pies ahead of time?
It's best to prepare and toast the marshmallows shortly before serving to maintain their gooey texture. You can make the crusts and keep them stored, then add chocolate and marshmallows just before toasting.
