S'mores Bites

This has become a serious family favorite, requested a many family gatherings. The great thing? It's only a handful of ingredients! It also looks a lot more impressive than it actually is which is always a huge plus.

Ingredients
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
12 Marshmallows
4-5 Hershey bars
Mini cupcake pan (24 count total)


1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease pan with non-stick spray
2) In a medium size bowl mix graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter with a spoon
3) Evenly distribute mixture to the 24 mini cupcake cups. You can press along the sides and bottom to make a “cup”.....but the easier thing to do is to take a long thin shot glass if you have one and use that. It does the work for you, amazing little hack I learned to do after making these dozens of times.
4) Pop the graham cracker crust in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Do not over bake, time yourself!
5) While your crusts are baking,  cut 12 large marshmallows in half.
6) Remove the pan from the oven and place two sections of a Hershey bar in the graham cracker cup and cover with 1/2 of marshmallow (cut side facing down)
7) Pop these babies back in the oven for a minute or two, depents on how brown you want the marshmallow. Don't multitask, stay by the oven as you don't want these to burn!
8) Optional: Take any leftover chocolate that you and your kids have not eaten and put in a glass. Pop it in the microwave for a few seconds and then drizzle over your smores bites! Sprinkles are a fun touch too if you have them on hand. Everything tastes better with sprinkles for kids doesn't it?
9) Let cool for one hour and then use a toothpick to pop these beauties right out!
