Ingredient Notes
- White chocolate: Ghirardelli melts give the smoothest finish for decorating the tree details.

- Dark chocolate: Creates the rich outer shell and balances the sweetness.
- Graham crackers: Chocolate grahams add extra depth, but regular will also work.
- Marshmallow fluff: The soft center gives you that gooey s’mores moment without a torch.
- Candy canes: Crushed peppermint adds crunch and a bright holiday pop.
Before You Bake
Why does the white chocolate layer need to set first?
It keeps the tree decorations crisp and prevents colors from blending into the dark chocolate layer.

Ingredients
Supplies
- Christmas Tree S’mores mold: From Spinning Leaf

Ingredients
- White Ghirardelli melts
- Red oil-based food coloring or red candy melts
- Green oil-based food coloring or green candy melts
- Dark Ghirardelli melts
- Chocolate graham crackers
- Marshmallow Fluff

Instructions
- Melt half of the white chocolate according to the package directions. Divide it in two portions and tint one red and one green.

- Next, pipe the green garland, then chill again until firm.

- Cover with more melted dark chocolate, tapping the mold on the counter to release air bubbles. If any graham crackers pop up, lightly press them back down.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until completely set.
- Demold the s’mores and let them come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
