Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 graham crackers (split into 16 squares)
- 8 heart-shaped marshmallows (store-bought or homemade)
Chocolate Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) pink or red candy melts (or white chocolate tinted with food coloring)
- 4 ounces (113 grams) milk or dark chocolate
Decorative Ingredients:
- Valentines-themed sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy chocolate setting and cleanup.
- Carefully melt milk or dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until achieving a smooth, glossy consistency.
- In a separate bowl, gently melt pink or red candy melts using the same microwave technique, ensuring a uniform liquid texture.
- Strategically dip one side of each graham cracker square into the melted chocolates, creating an artistic alternating pattern of milk/dark chocolate and pink/red candy melts.
- While chocolate remains wet, delicately sprinkle Valentines-themed decorative embellishments across the coated graham crackers.
- Allow chocolate-covered crackers to firm at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes, or expedite the process by refrigerating for 5 minutes.
- Carefully toast heart-shaped marshmallows using a kitchen torch, gas stovetop flame, or broiler, monitoring closely to prevent burning and achieve a golden-brown exterior.
- Position a freshly toasted marshmallow on the chocolate-covered side of one graham cracker, ensuring even placement.
- Gently press a second graham cracker on top, creating a delightful marshmallow sandwich.
- Serve immediately to preserve the irresistible gooey, molten texture of the Valentine’s Day s’mores.
Notes
- Customize chocolate types by using quality chocolate chips or baking bars for richer flavor profiles.
- Prevent chocolate from seizing by ensuring absolutely no water touches melting chocolate during preparation.
- Use silicone baking mats instead of parchment paper for easier chocolate release and cleaner presentation.
- Create dairy-free version by substituting dairy chocolate with vegan chocolate alternatives and dairy-free marshmallows for inclusive treat options.
