How to Make Healthy S’mores
Making these Healthy S’moes are a lot of fun and super easy! The graham crackers are super simple, and while it does take some time (and planning ahead) for the marshmallows to set, they’re SO worth it. These delicious Vegan Marshmallows (opens in a new tab) are a great option if you want to skip making your own!
Here’s how to make Healthy S’mores:
1. Make the graham crackers.
Mix the ingredients together, then roll the dough out into a baking pan with two sheets of parchment paper. Cut into rectangles or squares and bake!
2. Whip up the marshmallows.
Combine gelatin and water, then create a syrup made with honey and water. Pour into the gelatin, then whip on high speed with a mixer and slowly add in the vanilla and salt. Spread into a pan and let set for 4 hours (or more), then cut into squares.
3. Assemble the s’mores.
Roast the marshmallows (optional, but so good!), then sandwich between graham crackers and chocolate. Enjoy!
Tips
- Another option is to lay all of the graham crackers out on a baking sheet with the chocolate, then warm just until the chocolate melts. Add the marshmallows to each s’more and top with another graham cracker!
- Place the chocolate square on a graham cracker and heat it up for about 10 seconds in the microwave. Then put the roasted marshmallow on it, and the chocolate melts to perfection!
