S’mores Sliders

Are you ready for a sweet adventure in your kitchen? Let me introduce you to my irresistible S’mores Sliders. This delightful treat combines everything we love about classic s’mores, crispy graham crackers, gooey marshmallows, and rich chocolate, into a mini slider form. Perfect for sharing with family or friends, these sliders are sure to be a hit at any gathering.

S’mores are a timeless favorite. Who can resist the aroma of toasted marshmallows, or the nostalgia of campfires and late-night stories? With the S’mores Sliders Recipe, I wanted to give that classic flavor a fun twist. By creating mini sliders, we can enjoy the wonderful crunch and meltiness without the fuss of traditional s’mores. Plus, they make for a beautiful presentation at parties or as a cozy dessert option for a family movie night.

Ingredients

• 1 package of graham crackers – about 14 crackers (you can use any brand you like)
• 1 cup miniature marshmallows (or larger ones, cut in half)
• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate work well)
• 1/4 cup peanut butter (optional, for a nutty twist)
• 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese or marshmallow fluff (for the filling)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (to enhance the flavor)

Instructions

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, making clean up a breeze.

Step 2:

Start by laying out half of your graham crackers on the baking sheet. These will be the bottom layers of your sliders.

Step 3:

Spread a layer of peanut butter on each cracker if you’re using it. Then, place a generous amount of chocolate chips on top of the peanut butter or directly on the graham crackers.

Step 4:

Next, add a handful of miniature marshmallows over the chocolate chips. Feel free to get creative here, add more if you like it extra gooey.

Step 5:

Top with another graham cracker to create the slider. Gently press down to allow the layers to meld together. Then, spread the whipped cream cheese or marshmallow fluff on top of each new layer for extra flavor.

Step 6:

Place the assembled sliders in the oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, just until the marshmallows start to puff up and the chocolate begins to melt.

Step 7:

Once done, let them cool for a couple of minutes before slicing them into individual sliders. Trust me, they’ll be worth the wait.

Nutritional Information

Each slider packs a delightful punch of sweetness, but don’t worry. While they are a treat, they offer moments of happiness and joy. To keep calculations simple, if you make 12 sliders, each slider contains approximately 120 calories. This will vary based on ingredients and portion sizes, so keep that in mind if you’re counting.

Healthier Alternatives

If you’re looking to lighten up these S’mores Sliders, consider substituting the chocolate chips with dark chocolate for a richer flavor and additional antioxidants. You can also swap regular graham crackers for whole grain varieties to boost fiber content. For a fun twist, experiment with almond butter instead of peanut butter.

Serving Suggestions

These S’mores Sliders are best enjoyed warm, right out of the oven. Serve them with a side of fresh fruit, or adorn your dessert table with an array of toppings, think crushed nuts, caramel sauce, or even some crispy bacon bits for those adventurous foodies among us. They are perfect for backyard barbecues, birthday parties, or just a cozy night in.

Common Mistakes

One common mistake is overloading the sliders with too many toppings. While it’s tempting to pile on the chocolate and marshmallows, balance is key. Less is often more, and too much can lead to a melty mess. Remember, a little goes a long way, especially since these sliders are quite rich.

Chef’s Notes

• Feel free to mix and match your chocolate types. I’ve used dark, milk, and even white chocolate for different flavor profiles.
• If you’re preparing these sliders in advance, you can assemble them but bake them right before serving to maintain that fresh, gooey texture.
• For added crunch, consider incorporating crispy rice cereal in the chocolate layer for that authentic s’mores crunch.

FAQs

• Q1: Can I use larger marshmallows instead of mini ones?
  A1: Absolutely; Just remember to cut them in half to fit nicely between the crackers.
• Q2: Do these S’mores Sliders freeze well?
  A2: Yes, but it’s best to freeze them without baking. Reheat in the oven when you’re ready to enjoy.
• Q3: How do I make these vegan?
  A3: Substitute with vegan chocolate chips and use a plant-based cream cheese replacement.
