This Indoor Peppermint S’mores combo hits all the classic flavors, like gooey marshmallow, minty chocolate, and crunchy grahams…no campfire needed! Peppermint chocolate and seasonal marshmallows make it festive and fun, while the microwave or quick bake keeps this fast and mess free. It’s easy to make a big batch, and they are perfect to share as a fun snack.
Ingredients Needed
- Chocolate graham crackers
- Peppermint marshmallows – I feel like availability changes year to year. This year I found these cute mid-sized mallows at Target.
- Peppermint-flavored chocolate– I like the Ghirardelli squares of peppermint bark- it’s the perfect size!
How to Make Indoor Peppermint S’Mores
This is a simple overview of the recipe, you’ll find a full printable recipe below!
- Break graham crackers in half and place on a microwave-safe plate or a baking sheet.
- Top half the grahams with marshmallows and the other half with chocolate.
- Warm in the oven or microwave, it only takes a minute or so!
- Press the two halves together to make a sandwich.
- Enjoy right away, while warm and melty, OR let the chocolate re-harden for a cookie-like experience!
Tips
- I’ve found different types of chocolate and marshmallows cook at different rates. I usually just put them all in the oven at the same time because it’s easy, but if you want your chocolate melted to a specific consistency, it’s sometimes easiest to warm the chocolate sides and the marshmallow sides separately so one doesn’t melt faster than the other.
- While you’d assume these are best fresh out of the oven, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the cooled ones were after the melted chocolate had covered the marshmallow and then hardened. Kind of like a cookie!
Frequently Asked Questions
Of course! They just don’t have that extra kick of peppermint.
You totally can. The chocolate will re-harden and they’ll be more like a cookie. Different, but delish!
Yes! The large marshmallows melt more evenly and give that classic gooey center. If you’re using mins, pile several together so they melt into one layer.
Try adding crushed peppermint candy canes on top of the marshmallow or chocolate, or a drizzle of white chocolate peppermint bark on top of the graham cracker.
Indoor Peppermint S’Mores
Ingredients
- 8 chocolate graham cracker sheets
- 8 peppermint marshmallows
- 8 Squares peppermint bark
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉ (OR if you prefer, you can pop these in the microwave)
- Break graham crackers in half and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet
- Tip: Because different brands of marshmallows and peppermint bark melt at different paces, you may consider melting the half your grahams with peppermint bark first, removing them, and then warming the halves with marshmallows by themselves. Then sandwich them together perfectly heated. Place a square of peppermint bark on half the graham crackers and a marshmallow (or multiple marshmallows) on the other halves.
- Place in the preheated oven for 30 seconds- 1 minute, more if needed, for chocolate to melt at least partially and marshmallows to puff up.
- Sandwich the halves together and enjoy!

Questions & Reviews
I wish so badly that I enjoyed peppermint, especially this time of year. My children did just discover that they love it (yes, it took my daughter 7 years to figure this out as I simply don’t have anything peppermint lying around). I did think the brushing teeth thing was funny because I had decided a while back that eating a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream at night meant that I didn’t have to brush my teeth before bed!! Bring on the cavities!
Do chocolate graham crackers have milk in them? My daughter has a milk allergy, and it would be VERY MEAN if we made these and wouldn’t let her eat them! 🙂 Looks delish!
I’m not sure; my one-year old (or my dog, which is pretty much the same thing) destroyed the box. You’d have to check the box, but my inclination is that they don’t. But please don’t take my word for it! 🙂
I think I may be the only person who hates peppermint! So many food blogs are posting recipes involving peppermint right now! I just hope all my neighbors bring peppermint treats and that way I won’t eat them!! : ) Merry Christmas!
I hate to be one of those “so where did you find the…” people because I shop a lot but I have yet to see the big peppermint marshmallows. So…where did you find them? And one of my recent IG hashtags was #chocolatepeppermintismylovelanguage. Yes, you can use it. 😉
Ha! Better to be the “where did you find that?” person than the “I hate you” or “you’re stupid” or “that looks like vomit” or “why aren’t you cool anymore?” person! 🙂 I got them at Walmart (aka Satan’s warehouse…but they sell awesome marshmallows, so what’s a girl to do?)
LOL I would never be any of those people! I’ll have to decide if it’s worth risking my life by going to Satan’s Warehouse this weekend…hmm…it might very well be. Thanks for the reply! 🙂
Yummy! Bring on the Peppermint S’mores!!
I’m with your friend Jeni on this one. You and Sara post the most delicious recipes, and I have been sad lately that I don’t like mint because these recipes have looked so good!
Yeah peppermint reminds me too much of toothpaste, which reminds me of gagging morning and night all in the name of dental hygiene. Should your dreams of a not peppermint/chocolate combo come true I’ll jump on that bandwagon 🙂
I love love love s’mores. So much I had to dedicate a whole pin board to them. I usually don’t like them messed with (reese’s pb cup s’mores, s’mores with coconut, whatever), but Kate, seriously, this is AWESOME!!! I was leery at first, but I scrolled down and saw the peppermint bark and said, I’m going to Walmart right now so I can make these! First you introduce me to Tim Riggins (yeah, didn’t watch the show til the brownies came out then I had to see what it was all about), and now peppermint s’mores. Today is a good day.
Go make some peppermint s’mores and watch FNL. Just sayin’… 🙂
Yum! I actually loaded up on all different marshmallows last week when I was in the USA including some if these! Can’t wait to make these. Now, if only canada had chocolate graham crackers! You guys always get so many choices! Adding chocolate Graham’s to my list for my next USA shopping trip. ( It might be a year or so- I seriously spent $600 on trader joes, Costco and Walmart. Just food!)
This looks so yummy and so easy, perfect to make with the kids tonight.
Thanks for the recipe!
