Based on the old Girl Scout favorite, these are made with graham cracker crumbs, marshmallows, and chocolate. No-bake Smores candy cups are easy to make and great for gifts.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter, not margarine (1 stick)
  • 12 ounces special dark semisweet chocolate (2 giant 6-ounce bars), broken into chunks
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows (about 4 ounces)

Preparation:

Line mini-muffin tins with muffin papers.

In a double boiler, melt butter and chocolate, stirring to avoid scorching, until combined. Remove from heat.

Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each mini-muffin cup. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon graham cracker crumbs while chocolate is still warm and liquid. Place 4 miniature marshmallows on top of graham cracker crumbs. Top marshmallows evenly with remaining chocolate (re-warm chocolate, if necessary).

When trays are full, tap gently on the counter to force chocolate down and around the marshmallows.

Chill at least two hours. Refrigerate leftovers.

These make great gifts for holidays or special occasions.

Yield: 4 dozen Smores cups
