Ingredients
  

The main stuff:
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • or crushed digestive biscuits — totally fine
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • milk chocolate feels classic, dark chocolate feels grown-up
  • ¾ cup mini marshmallows
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • almond butter also works… sunflower butter too
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter optional but makes it richer
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt don’t skip, it balances sweetness
Optional extras (if you like experimenting):
  • a spoon of cocoa powder
  • crushed pretzels salty-sweet… so good
  • chopped nuts
  • coconut flakes
  • mini M&Ms kids go crazy

Equipment

  • 1 big mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups/spoons
  • Plate or tray
  • Parchment paper
  • microwave-safe bowl if you melt chocolate

Method
 

Step 1: Crush the graham crackers
  1. If you already have crumbs, cool. If not, toss crackers/biscuits into a zip bag and crush them.
  2. Rolling pin works. A heavy bottle works. Your fist works (careful though).
  3. It’s honestly kind of satisfying.
  4. You want a crumb texture like sand. But if you’ve got a few chunky bits? Keep them. Adds crunch. Life isn’t perfect.
Step 2: Mix the sticky base first
  1. In your bowl, add:
  2. peanut butter
  3. honey or maple syrup
  4. melted butter (if using)
  5. vanilla
  6. pinch of salt
  7. Mix it until it looks smooth and glossy.
  8. At this stage it smells like “dessert promise.”
  9. Also… you’re allowed to taste. I always taste.
Step 3: Add crumbs and mix
  1. Add graham crumbs slowly and stir. It’ll start turning into this thick, dough-like mixture.
  2. This is the moment where you’ll think:
  3. “Is this too dry?”
  4. Then you’ll mix again and go:
  5. “Oh wait… no. It’s fine.”
  6. If it’s actually dry though, add a tiny splash of honey/maple. Like 1 teaspoon at a time. Don’t dump it all at once.
Step 4: Chocolate + marshmallows go in
  1. Now throw in:
  2. chocolate chips
  3. half the mini marshmallows
  4. Mix gently. Don’t smash the marshmallows too much. They’ll survive, but still… be kind.
  5. You’ll notice the dough becomes more “bite-friendly.” Like snackable cookie dough.
Step 5: Roll into balls
  1. Grab small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls. Around 1 to 1.5 inches.
  2. If it sticks to your hands (it probably will), do one of these:
  3. chill the dough 10 minutes first
  4. rub a tiny bit of butter on your palms
  5. wet hands slightly (just a little)
  6. This part is messy. But it's messy. Like “I’m actually cooking” messy.
Step 6: Make them look extra s’mores-y
  1. This is optional but fun:
  2. Press extra marshmallows on the outside.
  3. Roll some bites in graham crumbs.
  4. Or drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
  5. Now they don’t look like random snack balls… They look like planned desserts. And people are impressed. Love that.
Step 7: Chill
  1. Put them in the fridge for 30–45 minutes.
  2. They firm up, flavors settle, texture becomes perfect.
  3. And yeah… you’ll probably eat one before they chill fully. It’s basically impossible not to.
