Ingredient Notes
- White chocolate melts: Ghirardelli melts give the smoothest finish and set up nicely, but any good-quality white melting wafers will work.
- Oil-based food coloring: This is key for coloring chocolate without ruining the texture. Regular food coloring can cause the chocolate to clump.
- Valentine’s sprinkles: Use jimmies or small confetti-style sprinkles so they mix smoothly into the chocolate without sinking or melting.
- Chocolate graham crackers: These add a richer s’mores flavor than regular graham crackers and balance the sweetness of the white chocolate.
- Strawberry preserves: Choose a thicker preserve rather than jelly so it stays in place when layered.
- Marshmallow fluff: Fluff pipes easily and creates that classic s’mores center without needing to toast marshmallows.
- XO and heart molds: Silicone molds make it easier to release the chocolate shapes cleanly.
- S’mores mold: A plastic mold works great for getting neat layers, just be sure to tap it well to remove air bubbles.
Quick Prep Notes
Can I use regular graham crackers instead of chocolate?
You can, but the chocolate graham crackers really help bring out the classic s’mores flavor and make the layers feel richer with the white chocolate.
Do I need oil-based food coloring?
Yes. Oil-based coloring is important for coloring melted chocolate. Water-based coloring can cause the chocolate to seize.
How long do these need to set before serving?
About 30 minutes in the fridge is usually enough, but you can leave them longer if you want them extra firm for transporting or gifting.
Valentine XOXO S’mores
Ingredients
- 1 Valentine’s XO silicone candy mold by Makery
- 1 plastic s’mores mold from Spinning Leaf
- 2 bags white Ghirardelli melting wafers
- Red and pink oil-based food coloring
- Valentine’s Day sprinkles
- Chocolate graham crackers
- Strawberry preserves
- Marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Place the XO mold on a flat surface. Melt about one-third of a bag of white chocolate. Divide it into two bowls and tint one pink and one red. Pour the red chocolate into the heart cavities and the pink chocolate into the X cavities. Place in the fridge until set.
- Melt one full bag of white chocolate and stir in Valentine’s sprinkles. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more until you reach the sprinkle level you like.
- Fill the s’mores mold halfway with the sprinkle chocolate.
- Spread a small amount of strawberry preserves on one chocolate graham cracker. Place it into the mold with the preserves side facing up and gently press it down. Pipe a dollop of marshmallow fluff in the center, then top with a second graham cracker.
- You can also switch the order by placing a plain graham cracker first, followed by the fluff, then the preserves cracker. Both options work great.
- Cover with more chocolate and gently tap the mold to remove any air bubbles. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until fully set.
- Remove the s’mores and the XO candies from their molds. Melt a small amount of white chocolate and use it to “glue” one X and one heart onto the top of each s’more. Arrange them however you like.
- Let them sit at room temperature before serving.
