These S’mores Truffles are everything I love about the classic campfire treat—rich chocolate, sweet marshmallow, and crunchy graham cracker—all wrapped into a no-bake bite. They’re quick to make, fun to eat, and perfect for any time I want that nostalgic flavor without needing a fire.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love how easy these are to throw together—no baking, no mess, just mix, chill, and dip. Each truffle hides a mini marshmallow inside, making every bite a little surprise. They’re perfect for parties, holiday trays, or just snacking straight from the fridge. The mix of creamy, sweet, and crunchy is so satisfying, and I can make them ahead, which saves me time.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
18 whole graham crackers
-
½ cup cream cheese, room temperature
-
½ cup marshmallow fluff
-
½ cup mini marshmallows
-
2 cups milk chocolate chips
-
1 teaspoon shortening (or coconut oil)
-
Extra graham cracker crumbs for sprinkling
Directions
-
I start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
I crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by sealing them in a plastic bag and rolling them with a pin.
-
I add the cream cheese and marshmallow fluff to the crumbs and mix until it forms a dough-like consistency.
-
I scoop out about a tablespoon of the dough, flatten it into a small disc, and place a mini marshmallow in the center. Then I wrap the dough around it and roll into a ball.
-
I place the truffles on the baking sheet and freeze them for about 20 minutes to firm up.
-
While they chill, I melt the chocolate chips with shortening in the microwave or using a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
-
I dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, let the excess drip off, and place them back on the parchment. While the chocolate is still wet, I sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top.
-
I refrigerate the coated truffles until the chocolate is set.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 24 truffles.

Prep time: 10 minutes
-
Chill time: 20 minutes
-
Set time: 10 minutes

Total time: 40 minutes
Variations
-
I sometimes swap milk chocolate for dark or white chocolate to change up the flavor.
-
I like adding a pinch of sea salt on top before the chocolate sets for a salty-sweet combo.
-
For a flavored twist, I’ve used chocolate graham crackers instead of regular.
-
I’ve even stirred in a spoonful of peanut butter into the dough for extra richness.
-
If I want a more toasted marshmallow flavor, I quickly torch the mini marshmallow before sealing it inside.
storage/reheating
I store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge, and they stay good for up to two weeks. If I make them in advance, I can freeze them for a month. I just let them thaw in the fridge overnight before serving. They’re best enjoyed cold or at room temperature—no reheating needed.
FAQs
What do I do if the dough is too dry or crumbly?
I add a bit more cream cheese, about a teaspoon at a time, until the dough sticks together easily.
Can I use butter instead of shortening for the chocolate coating?
I prefer shortening or coconut oil because it helps the chocolate set more firmly. Butter can make the coating too soft.
Will the marshmallow inside melt?
Not really. If the dough is cold and firm when I wrap it around the marshmallow, it stays soft and whole inside.
Can I make these a day or two in advance?
Absolutely. I often make them the night before a party or get-together, and they hold up great in the fridge.
Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes, I just use gluten-free graham crackers and double-check that the marshmallow fluff and chocolate are certified gluten-free.
Conclusion
These S’mores Truffles are one of my favorite quick desserts. They’re simple to make, full of rich flavor, and so fun to eat. Whether I’m bringing them to a party or just keeping a stash in the fridge, they never last long. I hope you enjoy making and sharing them as much as I do.
