It’s like a party on a plate! I always pile on the toppings because who can resist extra chocolate? Perfect for movie nights or just when you’re craving something sweet and crunchy! 🍫
Ingredients & Substitutions
Graham Cracker Pieces: These are the base of your nachos. If you’re out of graham crackers, you can use digestive biscuits or even homemade cookie pieces for a unique twist!
Mini Marshmallows: They melt perfectly in this dish. If you can’t find mini ones, regular sized marshmallows can work—just cut them in half for even melting.
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: These add rich chocolate flavor. You can swap them for milk chocolate for a sweeter taste or dark chocolate for a bolder flavor if you’re a chocolate lover.
Chocolate Syrup: This creates a lovely drizzle. If you prefer, you can use caramel sauce or even peanut butter for a different but delicious topping!
Whipped Cream: This is optional but adds a lovely creaminess. For lighter options, consider whipped coconut cream or Greek yogurt.
How Do I Get the Marshmallows Perfectly Puff and Brown?
The baking part is crucial for getting those marshmallows just right. You want them puffed and lightly browned for that perfect gooey texture. Here’s how:
- Preheat the oven thoroughly before baking.
- Keep an eye on them while they bake; they can go from perfectly browned to burnt quickly. 5-7 minutes should do it!
- If you want more browning, you can pop them under the broiler for a minute or two at the end, but watch closely!
Letting them cool slightly before drizzling the chocolate syrup will keep it from sliding off too quickly. Enjoy your sweet creation!

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your S’mores Nachos bake evenly and come out just right!
2. Layer the Graham Crackers:
Take a large baking tray or a disposable aluminum tray and arrange an even layer of graham cracker pieces at the bottom. Spread them out so they cover the tray nicely.
3. Add the Chocolate Chips:
Now, sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the graham crackers. Make sure every part of the graham crackers has some chocolate goodness on it!
4. Top with Mini Marshmallows:
Next, add the mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate chips. Distribute them evenly across the tray, creating a delightful mix of flavors.
5. Optional Larger Marshmallows:
If you’re feeling a bit extra, place some larger marshmallows on top of everything for an added treat. They’ll look great and taste delicious when melted!

Pop the tray into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on them until the marshmallows are puffed and just starting to brown. Your kitchen will fill with a delightful aroma!
7. Drizzle with Chocolate Syrup:
Once they’re done, take your nachos out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, drizzle chocolate syrup generously over the baked nachos for a sweet finish.

Can I Use Different Types of Chocolate Chips?
Absolutely! You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that the sweetness and richness may vary slightly.
What If I Don’t Have Mini Marshmallows?
No problem! You can use regular-sized marshmallows instead. Just cut them in half or quarters to ensure even melting, and spread them out across the nachos for a more gourmet look!
Can I Make These S’mores Nachos Ahead of Time?
You can prep the graham cracker layer and chocolate chips in advance, but bake them just before serving for the best texture. If you want to prep fully, bake and then store in the fridge, reheat in the oven to crisp them up before serving.
How to Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat in the oven for a few minutes at 350°F (175°C) to revive that melty goodness!
