What You’ll Need

Gather your ingredients for this delightful dessert. Most items are likely already in your pantry, making this a spontaneous sweet treat!

1 (13.8-ounce) tube refrigerated pizza dough

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10-12 full sheets)
¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups mini marshmallows
Optional: Drizzle of chocolate syrup or caramel sauce for serving

Preparation Instructions

Crafting your perfect S mores Pizza is a breeze, promising warm, gooey goodness with every bite. Follow these steps to create an unforgettable Dessert Pizza that will have everyone asking for more!

1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs. Mix until well combined and the crumbs are moistened. Press this mixture evenly onto the prepared pizza pan or baking sheet, forming a crust.
3. Bake Crust: Bake the graham cracker crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven.
4. Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips over the warm, pre-baked crust. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, just until the chocolate chips are soft and slightly melted.
5. Add Marshmallows: Carefully remove the pizza from the oven. Evenly distribute the mini marshmallows over the melted chocolate.
6. Broil for Golden Marshmallows: Return the pizza to the oven and set your oven to broil. Broil for 1-3 minutes, watching very closely, until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted to your liking. They can burn quickly!
7. Cool & Serve: Remove the S’mores Pizza from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. A drizzle of extra chocolate or caramel is a delicious optional finish.

 

Fun Twists & Serving Ideas

1. Peanut Butter Dream: Spread a thin layer of peanut butter over the graham cracker crust before adding chocolate chips for a delightful peanut butter cup s’mores flavor.
2. Fruit & Nutty: After the marshmallows are toasted, sprinkle with chopped peanuts or pecans and a few sliced strawberries for a fresh, crunchy contrast.
3. Caramel Drizzle Deluxe: Swirl caramel sauce over the chocolate before adding marshmallows, then finish with an extra drizzle after baking.
4. Dark Chocolate Indulgence: Use dark chocolate chunks or chips instead of semi-sweet for a richer, more sophisticated flavor profile.
5. Loaded Candy Bar: Break up pieces of your favorite chocolate bars (like Hershey’s milk chocolate, Snickers, or Reese’s) and scatter them over the crust with the chocolate chips for an extra decadent twist.

 

FAQ

Q: Can I use store-bought pizza dough?
A: Absolutely! While the recipe uses a graham cracker crust, you can certainly use a pre-made pizza dough for a different texture. Simply bake it according to package directions before adding toppings.

Q: How do I prevent the marshmallows from burning under the broiler?
A: Watch them very closely! Broilers can be intense. Keep the oven door slightly ajar and peek in often. As soon as they reach your desired golden brown, pull them out. It usually takes 1-3 minutes.

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: This pizza is best served warm and fresh. However, you can prepare the graham cracker crust ahead of time and store it covered at room temperature. Add toppings and bake just before serving.

Q: What kind of chocolate works best?
A: Semi-sweet chocolate chips are classic, but milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even a mix of different chocolates would be delicious.

Q: How do I store leftovers?
A: Store any leftover S’mores Pizza in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave or a low oven for a warm, gooey experience.

Recipe Note

For the chewiest, most satisfying S’mores Pizza, allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes after removing it from the oven. This helps the chocolate set just enough so it doesn’t run everywhere when sliced, yet keeps it perfectly gooey.
