Notes
For the ultimate Pumpkin S’mores experience, timing is everything! The key is to achieve the perfect balance between melty chocolate, gooey marshmallow, and warm pumpkin butter.
If you’re making these indoors, try assembling the s’mores on a baking sheet, but only add the top graham cracker after broiling. Place the pumpkin butter and chocolate-topped graham crackers under the broiler for about 30 seconds to warm the pumpkin butter and start melting the chocolate.
Then add the marshmallows and broil for another 30-60 seconds until they’re golden and puffy. This method ensures all components are warm and at the ideal texture when you add the top cracker and take that first heavenly bite!
Variations
- Swap the chocolate for white chocolate or butterscotch chips for a different flavor profile.
- Use gingersnap cookies instead of graham crackers for an extra spicy kick.
- For a healthier version, use dark chocolate and low-sugar marshmallows.
What to Serve With Pumpkin S’mores
- Hot apple cider or pumpkin spice latte for the ultimate fall experience
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for an extra indulgent dessert
- Fresh apple slices for a refreshing contrast to the sweet s’mores
Storage
These Pumpkin S’mores are best enjoyed immediately while they’re warm and gooey. However, if you have any leftovers:
To store: Let them cool completely, then wrap individually in wax paper and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
To reheat: Warm them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a 300°F oven for 2-3 minutes until the chocolate starts to melt.
Enjoy your cozy Pumpkin S’mores! They’re sure to become a new fall favorite!
