Description
These no-bake s’mores parfaits capture the campfire magic of classic s’mores in a portable jar. Layers of graham cracker crust, molten dark chocolate, and soft marshmallows create a delightful texture and sweet-salty contrast, perfect for summer gatherings or backyard picnics.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tbsp unsalted butter
8 oz dark chocolate discs (72% cacao)
12 oz plastic-wrapped marshmallows
Instructions
Process full-sized graham cracker sheets in a food processor until coarsely textured, about 1 ½ cups
Melt unsalted butter in a microwave or double boiler until just warm and emulsified
In a large bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until clumpy
Evenly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of 4 jars or glasses to form the base
Grate dark chocolate discs on the coarse side to create ribbons
Layer the chocolate shards into each jar, spreading gently into a velvety base
Place 3 marshmallows atop the chocolate in each jar, pressing lightly
Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour 30 minutes to allow layers to set
Garnish with a sprinkle of salted cocoa powder before serving
Notes
Use body-temperature butter to avoid sogginess
Choose dark chocolate with a golden sheen for optimal meltability
For a campfire-inspired finish, use a kitchen torch to lightly brown marshmallow tops
Store parfaits in airtight containers until ready to serve
