-
4 squares of milk or dark chocolate (halal-certified chocolate)

Ingredient Highlights
-
Graham Crackers: The crispy, sweet base of the s’more that adds a crunchy texture to the gooey marshmallow and chocolate.
-
Marshmallow Peeps: The star of this recipe, Peeps provide a sweet, marshmallow flavor with the added bonus of vibrant colors and fun shapes.
-
Chocolate: Halal-certified chocolate provides the rich and creamy layer between the graham crackers and marshmallow. You can choose from milk, dark, or even white chocolate, depending on your taste preferences.
-
Peanut Butter: Adding peanut butter between the graham crackers gives the s’mores a nutty, creamy flavor that complements the sweetness of the Peeps and chocolate.
Instructions
Prepare the S’mores Base:
-
Prepare the Graham Crackers: Break the graham crackers into halves or quarters depending on the size of your s’mores. Lay out four halves or pieces of graham crackers as the bottom of your s’mores.
-
Optional Peanut Butter Layer: If you’re adding peanut butter, spread a small amount (about ½ teaspoon) onto each graham cracker half. This adds a creamy, nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the marshmallow and chocolate.
Assemble the Marshmallow Peeps S’mores:
-
Place the Chocolate: Take one square of chocolate and place it on top of the graham cracker. You can use milk, dark, or white chocolate according to your preference.
-
Add the Marshmallow Peeps: Place one Marshmallow Peep on top of the chocolate. If you’re using flavored Peeps (such as chocolate-dipped or berry), it will add an extra burst of flavor.
-
Optional Cinnamon or Sprinkles: For a special touch, you can sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on the chocolate before adding the Peep or sprinkle colorful sugar crystals on top for decoration.
Toast the Peeps:
-
Toast the Marshmallow Peeps: There are a few ways to toast the Peeps:
-
Campfire Method: If you’re outdoors, toast the Peeps over an open flame until the marshmallow is golden and slightly charred. Be careful not to burn the Peeps, as they toast quickly.
-
Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the assembled s’mores on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the marshmallow starts to puff up and turn golden brown.
-
Stovetop Method: Alternatively, you can use a kitchen torch to gently toast the Peeps if you have one on hand.
-
Complete the S’mores:
-
Top with Second Graham Cracker: Once the Peep is toasted, quickly press a second graham cracker half on top, creating a sandwich with the gooey marshmallow, melted chocolate, and graham crackers.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Allow the s’mores to cool for a moment before taking a bite. Enjoy the gooey, sweet, and crunchy treat!
