How to Make Valentine’s Day Smores: Step-by-Step

Melt the chocolate: Heat Ghirardelli milk chocolate melts for about one minute in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
Fill the mold: Pour chocolate into each mold cavity until halfway full. This creates the base layer.
Add the graham cracker: Press a graham cracker square lightly into the melted chocolate.
Spoon in the fluff: Add a generous scoop of strawberry marshmallow fluff onto the center of the graham cracker.
Top with another cracker: Place another graham cracker on top, pressing down gently until it’s submerged in the mold.
Seal with chocolate: Spread more melted chocolate on top, ensuring everything is covered. Tap the mold to eliminate air bubbles. If the cracker floats up, press it back down.
Chill to set: Place the mold in the fridge for at least 30 minutes until fully set.
Decorate: Melt pink chocolate melts according to package instructions. Pipe a thin decorative drizzle on one side. Immediately add sprinkles, edible glitter, or a royal icing strawberry.
Final chill: Refrigerate the finished smores for 5 more minutes to firm up the decorations.
Enjoy: Let your Valentine’s Day Smores come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

Tips to Make Your Smores Even More Magical

Avoid overfilling with fluff: Keeping the marshmallow centered ensures a clean edge and better sealing with chocolate
Use quality chocolate: Ghirardelli melts work beautifully, but you can also temper your own chocolate for a snappier finish
Tap the mold: Removing air bubbles ensures the top layer of chocolate sets smoothly
Decorate while wet: Add sprinkles and glitter before the pink drizzle hardens for best adhesion
Make ahead: These store beautifully in the fridge for 3–4 days, making them great for early prep

Want to elevate your Valentine’s Day Smores even further? Here are some pairing and variation ideas:

Frequently Asked Questions About Valentine’s Day Smores

Can I Make Valentine’s Day Smores Ahead of Time?

Yes! These smores are perfect for preparing in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. When ready to serve, bring them to room temperature for the best texture and flavor.

What If I Don’t Have a S’mores Mold?

No worries! You can use silicone muffin cups, small baking trays, or even shape the smores manually on parchment paper. While the look might vary slightly, the flavor will still be delicious and festive.

Can I Use Regular Marshmallows Instead of Fluff?

Absolutely. While strawberry marshmallow fluff creates a smoother layer and sweeter finish, regular strawberry or even vanilla marshmallows can be used. Just slightly melt them or cut them into thinner pieces to fit the mold better.
