Happy National S’mores Day! What better way to celebrate than with these No-Bake Caramel S’mores Cups that don’t require a campfire or an oven.
These No-Bake Caramel S’mores Cups are delicious, decadent, and a perfect treat year round. However, they’re a fun dessert to pull out during the holidays, they’re super easy to make and great for the family! Plus, check out the other amazing S’mores recipes from #foodholidaybloggers.
These are the best little caramel treats. I mean come on, combine caramel with anything and you have divinity. Mixing that with a no-bake s’more cup? Heaven.
I made a batch of these for my family this past weekend and as soon as they were discovered they were quickly gone. Be sure when you serve these that they have had plenty of time to set in the freezer or you will have a gooey caramel mess, which isn’t a bad thing, but you will need a few wet wipes. If these set long enough you have a bite-sized Caramel S’mores treat. YUM!
I love celebrating National Food Holidays, so in light of it being National S’mores Day my friends and I got together to share some of our favorite, easy S’mores recipes that don’t require a camp fire. Which is so nice, right? Right now in Colorado we can’t even have a camp fire because of fire restrictions, so this will be so nice.
I can’t wait for you to whip up these up, you can even make these today and celebrate with your friends and family the tradition of S’mores with out roasting a single thing.
Enjoy friends.

How do you make No-Bake Caramel S’more Cups?
Cut all 8 marshmallows in half using a pair of scissors and set aside.
Break 4 of the graham crackers up, following the dotted lines on the crackers. Break those 4 pieces into the 3 pieces, so you should then have 12 pieces per cracker.
Crush up remaining graham crackers into crumbs and set aside for later.
Grease or line a small cupcake tin and set aside (makes 16 servings).
In a small microwave-safe bowl, add ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 teaspoon of oil.
Place in microwave uncovered and heat for 30-seconds.
Remove and stir to combine, place back in microwave and heat for an additional 30-seconds, stir and heat again for another 15-seconds.
Once fully melted and smooth, place 1 small teaspoon of the melted chocolate in the small cupcake/muffin tin.
Immediately add two pieces of graham cracker and push into the melted chocolate.
Immediately top graham cracker pieces with a scant tablespoon of caramel sauce.
Heat remaining 3/4 cup of chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon oil following the same steps above.
Once chocolate is smooth and completely melted, add a spoon full of chocolate, a little less than a tablespoon, to each chocolate cup.
When chocolate is divided into each cup, immediately place a 1/2 marshmallow right in the center of the chocolate, lightly push down the marshmallow so that the chocolate rises around it and it becomes set in the chocolate.
Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
Place in the refrigerator about 1-2 hours or until chocolate has hardened.
Serve, enjoy and devour!

No-Bake S’more Cups
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 8 marshmallows regular size
- 3 graham crackers
- 1 1/2 teaspoons oil I prefer coconut oil but vegetable will work too.
Instructions
- Cut all 8 marshmallows in half using a pair of scissors and set aside for later.
- Break 2 of the graham crackers up, following the dotted lines on the crackers, into 4 equal pieces. Break those 4 pieces into 3 pieces each, totaling 12 pieces per cracker. Crush up remaining graham cracker into crumbs and set aside for later.
- Grease a small cupcake tin or line with baking cups, it will make 12-16 mini cups. You could also use a regular cupcake tin, which will make 6-8 cups. Set aside.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl add 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 teaspoon of oil. Place in microwave uncovered and heat for 30-seconds. Remove and stir to combine, place back in microwave and heat for an additional 30-seconds, stir and heat again for another 15-seconds, stir.
- Once fully melted and smooth, place a small 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate in cupcake tins. This makes 16 for me but make as many as you can, 12 is okay. I would suggest to stop when you make 16. If you still have some additional chocolate just divide into already measured chocolate.
- Immediately add two pieces of graham crackers and push into the melted chocolate. The chocolate will not cover the graham cracker pieces. If you use a large cupcake tin then add 2 extra pieces of graham crackers.
- Heat remaining 3/4 cup of chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon oil following the same steps above in the same bowl.
- Once chocolate is smooth and completely melted, add a spoon full of chocolate, a little less than a tablespoon, to each chocolate cup over the graham cracker and caramel you have in the cupcake tin. Evenly distribute all of the chocolate between all of the cups. *Note: if you are using a large cupcake tin just eyeball it when evenly distributing the chocolate, I have not made these measurements.
- When chocolate is divided into each cup, immediately place 1/2 marshmallow right in the center of the chocolate, lightly push down the marshmallow so that the chocolate rises around it and it becomes set in the chocolate. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
- Place in the refrigerator about 1-2 hours or until chocolate has hardened.
- Serve, enjoy and devour!
