Ingredients
Base
- 100 pretzel snaps (square pretzels), divided
Marshmallows
- 25 regular-sized marshmallows, cut in half
Chocolate
- 8 oz. (225 g) semi-sweet melting chocolate (dark chocolate can be used as well)
Topping
- 3 graham cracker sheets, finely crushed or pulverized
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place a rack in the center. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Arrange Pretzels: Spread 50 pretzel snaps in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each for even heating.
- Add Marshmallows: Cut each marshmallow in half and place one half, cut side down, on top of each pretzel snap.
- Bake Marshmallows: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows puff up and just start to turn golden brown. Watch closely as oven times may vary.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently press a second pretzel snap onto each marshmallow to form a sandwich. Let them cool for a few minutes to set.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate according to the package instructions until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Pretzel Sandwiches: Dip each pretzel sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate, ensuring a nice coating on one side.
- Add Graham Cracker Crumbs: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the crushed graham cracker crumbs over the dipped area of each pretzel for added texture and flavor.
- Set the Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. To speed up the process, you can refrigerate the pretzels for about 10 minutes until firm.
Notes
- Use square pretzel snaps for the perfect size and shape to sandwich the marshmallows.
- Keep a close watch on marshmallows while baking to prevent burning.
- Melt chocolate gently to avoid scorching, using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts.
- Store completed s’mores pretzels in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
- For a festive touch, try adding colored sprinkles along with the graham cracker crumbs.
