Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Graham Crackers – broken into bite-sized pieces (about 2 cups)
  • Butter – 2 tablespoons, melted (optional for slight crispiness)

Chocolate

  • Chocolate Chips or Chunks – 1 to 1½ cups of milk, dark, or semi-sweet chocolate

Topping

  • Mini Marshmallows – 1½ cups

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped Nuts (almonds, pecans, or peanuts) – ¼ cup
  • Dried Fruit (cranberries, raspberries, or banana slices) – ¼ cup
  • Sea Salt – a pinch
  • Caramel Sauce – for drizzling
  • Spices (cayenne or chili powder) – a pinch

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking as your masterpiece bakes.
  2. Layer the Graham Crackers: Break the graham crackers into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly across the baking sheet as the crunchy base of your nachos. Optionally, brush with melted butter for added richness and crispiness.
  3. Add the Chocolate: Scatter your choice of chocolate chips or chunks generously over the graham crackers, aiming for even coverage so every bite gets a chocolate hit.
  4. Top with Marshmallows: Sprinkle a thick layer of mini marshmallows over the chocolate. This layer will melt into fluffy, golden perfection once baked.
  5. Bake Until Gooey: Place the tray in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 to 8 minutes, watching closely until the marshmallows puff up and turn golden brown. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow your Gooey S’mores Nachos to cool slightly so they set just enough to handle; then dig in immediately while everything is still perfectly melty and warm. Optionally, add any desired toppings like nuts, sea salt, or caramel drizzle before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh mini marshmallows for better melting and even toasting.
  • Distribute graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
  • Watch the oven closely as marshmallows can quickly burn after puffing up.
  • Chill the assembled tray in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking for a crunchier base.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for better flavor and meltiness.
  • Regular-sized marshmallows can be chopped and used instead of mini marshmallows.
  • Swap in gluten-free graham crackers to make the recipe gluten-free.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Freeze unbaked assembled nachos separately for up to 1 month, then bake fresh when desired.
  • Reheat gently in microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a warm oven to soften hardened marshmallows without overcooking the chocolate.
