Mini S'mores Bites

Someone else has probably made these before, but, the idea occurred to me after seeing a commercial with chocolate fondue. I had also just bought graham crackers for my son, because they're one of the few sweet things that he can eat, due to his egg and dairy allergies. The idea of chocolate fondue and graham crackers logically led me to marshmallows...

Mini S'mores Bites

2 Graham Crackers*
1/2 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips*
approximately 1/2 bag "normal" size marshmallows

Pour chocolate chips into a small metal or glass bowl, and melt over a saucepan of water slowly, in a double boiler. Meanwhile, crush graham crackers in a baggie with a rolling pin, until you get a consistent, fine crumb, then pour into a shallow bowl. Stir the chocolate until very smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat.

Line a sheet pan with waxed paper.

Dip marshmallows in chocolate till the chocolate comes about halfway up the marshmallow. Coat all the chocolate in graham cracker crumbs, and place, crumb side down on waxed paper. Refrigerate to allow chocolate to re-harden.

Yummo. If you have older children, they could easily help with the construction of these tasty treats.

*Always check labels, if you are cooking for someone with allergies, but the Ghiradelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips are dairy-free. Many graham crackers contain dry milk powder, but the Honey Maid and the Kroger brand graham crackers are dairy-free as well.
