How to Make Halloween S’mores

Or, pop it in the air fryer for a quick and easy option—just assemble the s’more and heat until the chocolate melts and the marshmallow gets gooey!

Why Is It Called S’mores
S’more is a contraction of the phrase “some more”. The actual origination is not really known but it first appeared in a cookbook in the early 1920s and it was actually called a “graham cracker sandwich” that was popular with both boy scouts and girl scouts.
Tips & Tricks for the Perfect Halloween S’mores:
-
Choose the Right Peeps: There are so many fun Halloween-themed Peeps like ghosts, pumpkins, and monsters. Mix and match different shapes to make your s’mores even more festive!
-
Pre-Size Your Ingredients: Before assembling, break your graham crackers and Hershey’s chocolate into s’more-sized pieces. This makes the process smoother and ensures a perfect balance of gooey marshmallow, crispy graham cracker, and melted chocolate.
-
Air Fryer Magic: If you’re not near a campfire, you can easily make these in the air fryer! Just assemble your s’more with the marshmallow and chocolate between graham crackers, pop it in at 350°F for 3-4 minutes, and enjoy the same melty deliciousness without the hassle of building a fire.
-
Use Cute Packaging: Clear plastic bags tied with a fun Halloween ribbon add an extra special touch, making these s’mores perfect for gifting or party favors.
-
Add a Personal Touch: Include a little note or custom label with instructions on how to enjoy the s’mores, or a fun Halloween message. This makes them extra personal and festive for any spooky gathering!
