  • Parchment-lined baking sheet: Helps crackers set neatly without sticking.
  • Kitchen torch or broiler: Ideal for toasting marshmallows with precision.
  • Skewers (optional): Useful for toasting marshmallows if using broiler method.

  • Baking sheet: Provides a stable surface for assembling and decorating s'mores.

Make Valentine’s Day S’mores with Style

  • Melt the Chocolate

Use a microwave-safe bowl and heat chocolate in short 20-second bursts, stirring between each interval until silky smooth.

  • Create Colorful Coating

Dip graham cracker squares into melted chocolate and candy melts, alternating colors for a festive look.

  • Add Decorative Sprinkles

While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle Valentines-themed decorations across the coated crackers. Let them set at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

  • Toast Marshmallow Hearts

Use a kitchen torch, stovetop flame, or broiler to gently brown heart-shaped marshmallows. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

  • Assemble the Smores

Place a toasted marshmallow on the chocolate-covered side of a graham cracker. Top with another cracker, pressing gently to create a sandwich.

  • Serve and Enjoy

Serve these romantic treats immediately to experience the gooey, melty goodness of Valentine’s Day smores.

S’mores Variations for a Sweet Touch

  • Perfect Melting Technique: Use short 20-second microwave intervals and stir chocolate between each burst to prevent burning and achieve smooth consistency.
  • Make-Ahead Magic: Prepare chocolate-dipped graham crackers up to 2 days in advance and store in an airtight container at room temperature for easy party prep.
  • Dietary Swap Options: Replace graham crackers with gluten-free versions for celiac-friendly treats. Use vegan chocolate and marshmallows for plant-based lovers who want to enjoy this romantic dessert.
  • Decorative Flair: Experiment with different sprinkle colors and sizes to match your Valentine's Day theme. White, pink, red, and metallic sprinkles work beautifully for festive presentation.
  • Kid-Friendly Adaptation: Let children help decorate crackers with sprinkles or choose their favorite chocolate types. Use regular marshmallows if heart-shaped are unavailable, cutting them into fun shapes with kitchen scissors.

How to Present Valentine’s S’mores

  • Love-Struck Plating: Create a romantic dessert board with heart-shaped plates, scattered rose petals, and delicate champagne glasses alongside these Valentine's s'mores for an Instagram-worthy presentation.
  • Date Night Dessert Station: Set up an interactive s'mores bar where couples can torch marshmallows together, adding a playful and interactive element to their sweet moment.
  • Passionate Pairing Suggestions: Complement these s'mores with a rich red wine, dark chocolate truffles, or a smooth strawberry liqueur to enhance the romantic flavor profile and elevate the dessert experience.
  • Surprise Gift Wrapping: Package individual s'mores in clear cellophane bags tied with red ribbons, creating adorable homemade treats perfect for gifting to your valentine or sharing at a galentine's party.

Saving Your Valentine’s S’mores Right

  • Chill and Stack: Refrigerate the completed s'mores in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Stack them with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking and maintain their delicate chocolate coating.
  • Quick Freshness Fix: If marshmallows become slightly stale, warm the s'mores in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore their soft, gooey texture.
  • Smart Make-Ahead Strategy: Prepare chocolate-dipped graham crackers and store them in a sealed container at room temperature for 3-4 days before assembling the final s'mores. This helps split the recipe into manageable steps.
  • Freezer-Friendly Option: Wrap individual s'mores in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer bag. They'll stay delicious for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before enjoying for the best taste and texture.

Description

Chocolate-lovers will adore this Valentine’s Day s’mores recipe that blends classic campfire treats with romantic charm. Graham crackers, melted chocolate, and marshmallows create a sweet dessert perfect for couples sharing intimate moments together.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 graham crackers (split into 16 squares)
  • 8 heart-shaped marshmallows (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 oz (113 g) pink or red candy melts (or white chocolate tinted with food coloring)
  • 4 oz (113 g) milk or dark chocolate
  • Valentines-themed sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to facilitate chocolate setting and simplify cleanup.
  2. Chocolate Coating: Microwave milk or dark chocolate in a bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until achieving a silky, uniform consistency. Simultaneously, liquefy pink or red candy melts using the same technique.
  3. Decorative Dipping: Immerse graham cracker squares into the melted chocolates, creating an alternating pattern of milk/dark chocolate and pink/red candy melts. While the chocolate remains wet, sprinkle Valentines-themed decorative elements across the surface.
  4. Chocolate Setting: Allow the chocolate-covered crackers to solidify at room temperature for 10 minutes, or accelerate the process by refrigerating for 5 minutes.
  5. Marshmallow Toasting: Carefully caramelize heart-shaped marshmallows using a kitchen torch, gas stovetop flame, or broiler. Monitor closely to achieve a golden-brown exterior without charring.
  6. Assembly: Position a freshly toasted marshmallow on the chocolate-covered side of one graham cracker. Gently press a second graham cracker on top, forming a delectable marshmallow sandwich.
  7. Serving: Present the Valentine’s Day s’mores immediately to maintain the irresistible gooey, molten texture and ensure maximum enjoyment.

Notes

  • Control Chocolate Melting: Use low microwave power and stir frequently to prevent chocolate from burning or seizing, ensuring a smooth, glossy texture.
  • Prevent Marshmallow Burning: Keep torch or flame at least 2-3 inches away from marshmallow, rotating constantly for even golden-brown caramelization without charring.
  • Decorate with Precision: Sprinkle decorative embellishments immediately after dipping graham crackers while chocolate remains wet to ensure maximum adhesion.
  • Temperature Matters: Allow chocolate-covered crackers to set at room temperature for optimal texture and shine, using refrigeration only as a quick alternative.
