Peanut Butter S’mores Pots

Serves: 2-4

Ingredients

• 3 graham crackers 
• 2 Tbsp butter 
• 1 Tbsp sugar 
• 2 Tbsp peanut butter (optional) 
• 3 Tbsp milk chocolate chips 
• 10 large marshmallows 

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place three whole graham crackers (rectangles, not the square half) and place them in a zip top bag. Use a rolling pin to crush the graham crackers into crumbs.
2. Melt the butter in a medium bowl. Once melted, stir in the sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Stir the mixture until it looks like damp, coarse sand. Divide the mixture between two 8oz. ramekins and use the back of a spoon to pack the mixture into a solid layer.
3. Drop about 1 Tbsp of peanut butter onto each graham cracker crust, followed by a sprinkle of chocolate chips (1 to 1.5 Tbsp for each ramekin). Arrange the marshmallows in a single layer in the ramekin. Use enough marshmallows so that they are touching each other, but not packed in tight. They will spread as they melt.
4. Bake the s'mores pots for 15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffy and light golden brown. Serve hot (use a pot holder or wrap the ramekin in a towel because it will be hot!).

Step by Step Photos

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Start the graham cracker crust by crushing three whole graham cracker rectangles. A zip top bag helps make this job a little less messy. Crush them until they are fine crumbs.

In a medium bow, melt 2 Tbsp of butter, then stir in 1 Tbsp sugar and the graham cracker crumbs. Stir until the mixture resembles wet, coarse sand.

Divide the graham cracker crust mixture between two 8oz. ramekins. Use the back of a spoon to press the crust into a solid layer.

Add about 1 Tbsp peanut butter to each ramekin and a sprinkle of milk chocolate chips (1 to 1.5 Tbsp chips). I didn’t think spreading the peanut butter would be very successful, so I just added it in little drops. 

Finally, add a layer of large marshmallows to the top of each ramekin. Use enough marshmallows so they are touching, but not totally packed in there. They will spread as they melt. I used five for each ramekin. Also, I like to put my ramekins on a baking sheet (or pizza pan in this case) to make them easier to move in and out of the oven.

Bake the pots for 15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed up and light golden brown. If you want extra browning, you can pop them under the broiler for a QUICK minute, but watch them carefully.

Serve the pots immediately so everything is still all melty and gooey. The marshmallows will deflate as they cool down. Be careful, though, the ramekins are hot so either use a pot holder or wrap them in a kitchen towel when you handle them.
