Before You Make

Do I need to toast the marshmallows first?
Nope! These Under the Sea S’mores are designed to be no-fire and no-toast. The flat marshmallows work perfectly as-is and soften slightly after chilling.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, they hold up well when made in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge and bring to room temp before serving.

Will the chocolate harden too much in the fridge?
The coating sets firmly but stays easy to bite through. If you prefer a softer texture, chill just until set, then store at room temperature.

FAQ

What kind of marshmallows should I use?
Jet-Puffed S’more Marshmallows or any flat marshmallow works best for clean stacking.

Can I use regular graham crackers instead of chocolate?
Yes, but chocolate grahams add more flavor and contrast beautifully with the blue coating.

How do I color the chocolate without it seizing?
Use gel-based food coloring like Color Mill to avoid seizing. Don’t use water-based dyes.

Can these be frozen?
Freezing is not recommended as the marshmallows may get too chewy and the decorations can lose their detail.

Do I need to temper the white chocolate?
No tempering is needed when using melting wafers like Ghirardelli—they’re made for easy dipping and setting.
