Sunny’s Easy S’mores Truffles Recipe Ingredients
Truffle Base:
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- Pinch of kosher salt
Coating:
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup crushed cinnamon graham crackers
How To Make Sunny’s Easy S’mores Truffles Recipe
- Make the truffle base: Set up a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl. Add the milk chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, bittersweet chocolate, and salt. Cook, stirring, for 8 to 10 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Chill the base: Pour the chocolate mixture onto a tray or into a shallow dish. Refrigerate for about 3 hours, or until completely solid.
- Char the marshmallows: Set your oven to broil. Spread the mini marshmallows in a single layer on a large, parchment-lined baking sheet. Broil until the marshmallows are charred black, rotating the tray if needed for even color.
- Create the coating: Let the charred marshmallows cool completely until they are hard (placing them in the fridge helps). Once hardened, finely chop them. In a large bowl, combine the chopped marshmallows with the graham cracker crumbs.
- Form and roll the truffles: Remove the chilled truffle base from the refrigerator. Use a small scoop or spoon to form balls slightly smaller than a golf ball. Roll each ball in the graham cracker and marshmallow coating until evenly covered.
- Chill and serve: Place the finished truffles on a tray and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
Recipe Tips
- How do I get an authentic s’mores flavor? The secret is to truly char the marshmallows. Don’t just toast them until they are brown; broil them until they are blackened to get that authentic, smoky, campfire flavor.
- What if I don’t have a double boiler? You can melt the chocolate mixture in a microwave. Use a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each one, until the mixture is smooth.
- How do I handle the sticky truffle base? The base will be sticky. Using a small, greased cookie scoop can make portioning much easier. You can also lightly grease your hands to prevent sticking while rolling.
- Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, these are a perfect make-ahead treat. They can be stored in the refrigerator for several days, and the flavor often gets even better.
What To Serve With S’mores Truffles

How To Store S’mores Truffles
- Refrigerate: Store the truffles in a single layer in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to a week. They can be served chilled or allowed to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

FAQs
Do I really have to burn the marshmallows until they are black?
Yes! This is the most important step for the flavor. A light brown toast won’t provide the smoky, campfire taste that makes these s’mores truffles unique. Have the strength to wait for the char!
My truffle base seems too soft, what should I do?
It just needs more time in the refrigerator. The 3-hour chilling time is crucial for the base to become firm enough to scoop and roll.
Can I use different types of chocolate?
You can, but the combination of milk chocolate and bittersweet chocolate provides a nice balance that isn’t overly sweet. Using all milk chocolate will result in a much sweeter truffle.
