It’s Friday treat day!
Growing up, Friday was my brother’s and my favorite day of the week – and not just because we got to have pizza for dinner. No, it topped the charts because it was treat day!
Every Friday night my Dad would come home from work with a special surprise that he’d hand over as soon as he located each of us from the hiding spots we’d race to as soon as we heard the garage door open. Making Dad work to find us was lots of fun (though it wasn’t hard per the giggling!) Treats ranged from Snickers bars and the always-coveted pack of Big League Chew (BLC FTW!) to new puzzles, and just-released Disney movies.
Friday treat day is without a doubt one of my fondest memories from childhood and I will definitely be doing the same for my kids once they’re old enough to appreciate grape Laffy Taffy and a good Puzz 3-D. You know you loved ’em.
At any rate, my Friday treat for all of you is Mini S’more Pies – quite possibly the best thing I’ve eaten all summer!
My Mom made these for Sunday lunch last week and when I asked if you guys wanted the recipe, the response was a resounding – GIMME! I’m so glad. These Mini S’More Pies are too fun and couldn’t be easier to make.
The result is adorable mini pies that are the perfect treat for kids, and kids at heart. The marshmallows are toasty and gooey, the graham cracker crust perfectly crunchy, and two layers of chocolate absolutely melt in your mouth. I had two in 10 minutes. Really.
Start with a pack of mini graham cracker crusts. I found these in the baking aisle – 6 to a package.
Place the crusts on a baking sheet then bake at 375 degrees for exactly 4 minutes.
While the crusts are still hot, place 4 squares Hershey’s chocolate into the bottom. The heat from the crust will cause them to melt into a solid layer.
Next, gently press 3 large marshmallows on top of the chocolate then broil ’til they’re golden brown. Tip: I placed my oven rack just above the middle of the oven so the broiler slowly toasted the marshmallows, giving them time to soften through before getting brown on top. Did that make sense? I hope so.
Finally, melt 2 Hershey bars in a microwave-safe bowl then spoon the melted chocolate on top. Give the mini pies a little jiggle to get the chocolate to smooth out on top.
Let the pies cool for 1 hour, or until the chocolate on top is set, then serve ’em on up. IF you have any leftovers, they’ll keep for up to a week in an air-tight container. How great is that?!

Similar to regular s’mores, these pies are gooey and messy. Just the way they ought to be.
Makes you feel like a kid again. Enjoy these very special treats, and have a wonderful weekend!
These look so yummy! I make the mini s’mores cups from pampered chef and they are amazing!!!
Ahhh! I love these–they are ALMOST too cute to eat. ALMOST. :)
I’ve been waiting all week for this post!! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m already dreaming up endless variations on these babies. Have a great weekend!
I can’t even. I am at a loss of words. Amazing!
Wow, these look so fun and delicious– and much less messy to eat than a regular s’more!
Ok can I just tell you how excited I am for this recipe!? I made s’mores last weekend with these gourmet flavored marshmallows I bought from Plush Puffs. I have a ton left over still and I am totally using this recipe to consume the remainder!
I am SOOOOO glad you posted the recipe for these….it just doesn’t get any better than graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows!!
My mouth is watering!
You mean…I have to wait an HOUR before eating these! Gosh, I am not sure that will be possible they look so yummy!
Let them cool an hour?! Definitely going to eliminate that step.
I am making these for our hawkeye tailgate tomorrow! Go Hawks! Thanks for the prefect treat for tomorrow.
GIMME! I’m totally, 100% making these for tomorrow’s Hawk game. Hopefully they will bring good luck (please, please, please bring good luck!)
Its sounds like you had an awesome childhood! How sweet of your parents to do that for you guys.
These pies are completely adorable and I love how easy they are to make!
These have to happen this weekend! So good!
So much yes!!
I may have drooled a little bit! How yummy and delicious those look!
There is definitely going to be a run on the mini graham cracker crusts in our local grocery stores. I’m off to Hy-Vee now!
Mine are on the counter cooling right now — my son can hardly wait!
These look amazing and amazingly simple.
Friday Treat Day sounds like the best idea ever! And these pies look like perfection: simple but delicious.
Ahh, these look incredible! I have a hankering to go camping this weekend, but it’s just too hot. These may (temporarily) fill the campfire void. Thanks for sharing!
Droooooooool! I’m definitely going to have to try these!
one word comes to mind: delectable. thanks for sharing!
ps. the melted chocolatly goodness in this recipe reminded me of my favorite store-bought treat. Tim Tam slams. Ever heard? You MUST google this–soo good. OBVIOUSLY not going to be as great as those mini s’more pies but good none-the-less.
OMG! This is genius! My mind is racing with other possibilities for these mini crusts…just think! I can’t wait to try these…thanks for the recipe!
P.S. Big league chew was the bomb…but remember candy cigarettes? A delicious stick of pure sugar…mmmm
Love the idea of Friday treat day! We had something similar…”surprise” after dinner or before bed most nights…a small dessert, book, puzzle, get to stay up later, etc. It was always fun to try to guess!
Absolutely brilliant! And so easy.
Friday treat day sounds like such a fun childhood memory!
I want one right now…ok, I really want five right now! :)
those are so freaking adorable. and delicious looking, my goodness!
That’s such a fun Friday tradition! At our house growing up, my dad would let me pick out his tie on Fridays, and I always chose this red ladybug one. No candy or treats involved, but it was still a fun father-daughter thing! And I LOVE your cute mini s’mores pies. You can never have enough chocolate or marshmallows!
Wowww these are such a fun treat! I don’t even like s’mores that much, but these are so cute I really want one now, haha. And I love that you guys hid like that as kids–nothing as fun as a good old hide and seek game! :D
How stinkin’ adorable are these??? LOVE!
Those are so cute! And easy! I see myself making them for an upcoming football party soon!
My goodness these are so adorable! I can’t wait to make some!
Wow they look so cute and so delicious!! :)
Oh my gosh you have the most amazing recipes! I don’t know how you’re not 1000 pounds!
Eeek! Keep the s’mores coming! Summer’s not over yet!
Thank You so very much for posting the recipe

Those little graham shells are adorable!! I seriously love s’mores, and ever since I became vegan I have tried to re-create the perfect s’more.
Yum! Homemade marshmallows would be insane!
Are you bringing back Friday Favorites? I love your recipes…and honestly I actually think “YAY ITS FRIDAY LETS CHECK IGE FOR FAVORITES!”
These sound amazing and I think my son will have fun eating these :) Thanks for sharing!
Yum!
YUM!!!!!!!
Um…YUM!!! I think these have been added to my ‘to bake’ list for next weekend when it’s supposed to be decidedly cooler. Thanks for sharing! :)
Very creative! I love smores!
[…] Mini S’more Pies…graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallows…is there a more perfect combination?? […]
These are so cute! I love them =)
Seriously one of the best things I have seen all week. So simple they are dangerous!
What a great idea.
Those Keebler pie shells are among my “go to” items and they are among the few things I always know I have on hand.
I’m STILL trying to create a “standing” inventory of things I should ALWAYS have on hand in my pantry…thus far it’s soups, rice, Keebler shells and pudding mix, tuna, Kraft macaroni and cheese boxes…how sad is THAT!
My husband saw this and he is no insisting I make these for him to have tomorrow! Hmmmm to make the yummy looking snack or not? I think I will listen to the husband for once! hahha!
I made these babies with weekend and my boys loved them! My 9 yr old added caramel and coconut to his.
Thanks so much for the idea!
