I think the reason I will always say yes to a s'mores dessert is because of the rich chocolatey flavor. When combined with buttery graham crackers, like in these campfire s'mores cupcakes, it's truly one of the best flavor combinations!
Ingredients for Easy Mini S'mores Pies
- Graham Crackers: I used honey graham crackers but you could also use the chocolate ones.
- Chocolate: Use high-quality chocolate bars. I used Scharffen Berger (not sponsored). Also, I used semi-sweet, but you could also use milk or dark chocolate.
- Heavy Whipping Cream: Not to be confused with heavy cream. Use heavy whipping cream because it has a higher fat content which helps the ganache to be silky smooth.
- Marshmallows: Each pie is topped with one large toasted marshmallow. You could also top it with mini marshmallows or marshmallow creme.

How to Make Mini S'mores Pies
Follow along below for the step-by-step process.
Step 1: Place graham cracker crumbs into a medium bowl and mix in the salt and melted butter.
Evenly divide up the crumbs into the muffin pan, pressing down firmly with your fingers or using a ¼ measuring cup. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Step 2: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium-high heat until bubbling.
Step 3: Remove from the heat and mix in the chopped chocolate and butter, mixing until fully combined.
Step 4: Evenly disperse the chocolate over the graham cracker crust and place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
Step 5: Place 12 large marshmallows on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil the marshmallows for 1-3 minutes until they are lightly toasted.
Immediately place the marshmallows on top of the chocolate layer of each pie. Serve and enjoy!
Storing & Freezing
Keep any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To freeze, ensure the chocolate pies have completely cooled and place them in a freezer-safe container. Freeze them without the toasted marshmallow on top.
When ready for them, thaw in the refrigerator overnight then add the toasted marshmallow before serving.
Expert Baking Tips
- Muffin Pan: This recipe can easily be made in a 12-count muffin pan. I recommend lining your pan with cupcake liners, but if you don’t have any, use non-stick spray to generously grease each muffin cup.
- Chocolate: Be sure to finely chop the chocolate before adding it to the hot cream. This helps for both of the ingredients to incorporate smoothly.
- Marshmallow Topping: Toast the marshmallow in either the oven under the broiler or by using a kitchen torch.
Recipe FAQs
In order to get a roasted marshmallow without a campfire either broil it in the oven for a few minutes or use a kitchen blow torch.
Because we are making a smooth chocolate ganache, I would recommend a chocolate brand such as Scharffen Berger or Ghirardelli. I'm not sure how well a Hershey's bar would combine with the cream.
A classic s'mores is a campfire favorite that involves 3 ingredients: graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. This pie incorporates all 3 of those ingredients.
