Ingredients Needed For S mores Tartlets

How To Make S’mores Tartlets
Here are the step-by-step directions:
Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: Using a food processor or place the crackers in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they’re fine crumbs. Combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and a bit of sugar if desired. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Form The Base: Spoon the mixture into tartlet pans or muffin tins. Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to ensure they’re well-packed.
Bake the Crusts: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the tartlet pans in the oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown. Allow them to cool completely before adding the filling.
Make the Chocolate Filling: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil. Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 1-2 minutes. Stir until smooth and fully combined, creating a rich chocolate ganache.
Fill the Tartlets: Spoon the chocolate ganache into the cooled tartlet crusts, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Top with Marshmallows: Arrange mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate filling. You can pack them closely or spread them out for a more even toasting.
Toast the Marshmallows: Place the tartlets under the broiler on a top rack, keeping a close eye on them. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and slightly toasted. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Cool and Serve: Allow the tartlets to cool slightly before serving. This lets the chocolate filling set a bit more and makes them easier to handle.
S’mores Tartlets Recipe Tips
- Crust Consistency: Make sure the graham cracker crumbs are finely crushed for a smooth, even crust.
- Butter Amount: Use enough melted butter to bind the graham cracker crumbs together.
- Pressing the Crust: Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the tartlet pans.
- Cooling the Crust: Let the crusts cool completely before adding the chocolate ganache.
- Chocolate Ganache: Make sure the cream is hot but not boiling when combined with the chocolate chips.
- Marshmallow Topping: For an even layer of marshmallows, use mini marshmallows as they toast more uniformly than larger ones.
- Toasting Marshmallows: Watch the marshmallows closely under the broiler, as they can burn quickly.
- Serving Tips: Let the tartlets cool slightly before serving to allow the chocolate to set.
- Storage: If making ahead, store the tartlets in an airtight container.
