S’mores Sliders bring all the nostalgic joy of campfire treats into a delightful handheld dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. These mini sandwich-style treats capture the essence of traditional s’mores—graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallow—but in a fun, slider format that’s less messy and even more irresistible.
What makes these sliders special is how they transform a seasonal campfire favorite into a year-round treat you can enjoy in the comfort of your kitchen. The contrast between the warm, gooey chocolate-marshmallow filling and the crisp graham cracker “buns” creates a texture and flavor experience that will have everyone reaching for seconds.

Ingredients
- 12 slider buns or dinner rolls
- 3 bars chocolate (100 gram bars or 1.5 cups chocolate chips)
- 20 large marshmallows or 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 graham crackers
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 graham crackers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
- Place the slider buns on the sheet pan and slice in half. Set the tops aside. Evenly distribute the chocolate on the bottoms of the buns.
- Crush 6 graham crackers into small bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly over the chocolate. Add an even layer of marshmallows on top.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven for 5-6 minutes, or until the marshmallows are lightly toasted. Remove from the oven.
- Position the slider bun tops over the toasted marshmallows, gently pressing them to secure in place.
- Use a silicone brush to apply melted butter over the slider tops. Crush 2 graham crackers and mix with the remaining melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the slider tops.
- Return the sliders to the oven. Bake for 4-5 minutes or until the slider tops are lightly toasted.
- Let the sliders cool for 2-3 minutes. Pull apart or slice to serve and enjoy.
Tips & Variations
- Try different chocolate varieties: dark chocolate, white chocolate, or peanut butter cups
- Add a thin layer of peanut butter or Nutella to the bottom graham cracker for extra flavor
- Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries between layers for a fruity twist
- For extra-golden marshmallows, broil for the final 30 seconds (but watch carefully!)
- Make them mini by using quarter pieces of graham crackers instead of halves
- For a quicker version, use large marshmallows cut in half rather than toasting mini marshmallows
Serving Suggestions
Serve these S’mores Sliders while they’re still warm for the perfect gooey center. They pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, creating a hot-and-cold dessert experience that’s absolutely divine. For a special touch, arrange them on a platter with fresh berries scattered around.
These sliders also make a fun addition to a dessert charcuterie board alongside cookies, fruit, and other sweet treats. If serving at a party, consider setting up a “slider bar” with different toppings so guests can customize their own.
Notes
- Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- To refresh leftovers, warm them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
- For best results, assemble just before serving—the longer they sit, the softer the graham crackers become.
- Look for the marshmallows to be lightly golden and puffy, not completely melted, for the perfect texture.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can prepare the components ahead of time, but it’s best to assemble and bake them just before serving for the ideal texture.
Can I make these on a grill or campfire?
Absolutely! Place the bottom layer on foil, add chocolate and marshmallow, and heat until melted. Then top with the second graham cracker.
Are there gluten-free options?
Yes, simply substitute regular graham crackers with gluten-free graham crackers, which are available at most specialty grocery stores.
How do I prevent the marshmallows from overflowing?
Use marshmallow halves rather than whole ones, and watch them closely in the oven—they puff up quickly!
