Ingredient Notes
- S’mores mold – My favorite is from Spinning Leaf Molds.
- Black candy melts – Perfect for making the chocolate numbers. Wilton or Sweet Tooth Fairy brands work well.
- Silver glitter dust spray – Adds sparkle to your number toppers. Look for edible options found in craft stores.
- Numbers chocolate mold – A silicone mold with digits works great. Check Amazon or craft stores.
- Ghirardelli white melts or purple candy melts – Ghirardelli melts smooth beautifully; use purple candy melts if you want to skip coloring.
- Purple oil-based candy coloring – Needed only if you’re tinting white melts. Avoid water-based food coloring to prevent seizing.
- Chocolate graham crackers – Usually found at Walmart; they add a fun twist to the classic s’mores flavor.
- Marshmallow fluff – The gooey center that holds everything together.
- Bat sprinkles – Fun, themed sprinkles you can find around Halloween or online year-round.
- Piping bottle – Makes decorating with the drizzle easy and mess-free. A squeeze bottle or fine-tip bag both work.
Before You Make
Do I need to use a s’mores mold for this recipe?
Yes, a s’mores mold helps keep the layers neat and even, especially with gooey marshmallow fluff in the center.
Can I use regular graham crackers instead of chocolate?
You can, but chocolate graham crackers match the flavor and look best with the purple chocolate. If needed, classic graham crackers still work—just expect a lighter color contrast.
Do I have to use purple coloring?
No, but the purple adds a fun, Count von Count-inspired vibe. You can skip it or swap in any color your kids love.
Count von Count Inspired S’mores
Ingredients
- S’mores mold – fits standard graham cracker halves. Found on Amazon or Spinning Leaf
- Black candy melts
- Silver glitter dust spray
- Numbers chocolate mold
- Ghirardelli white melts (or purple candy melts) – available at Target, Publix
- Purple oil-based candy coloring (like Chefmaster) – only needed if using white melts
- Graham crackers – chocolate, found at walmart
- Marshmallow fluff
- Purple gel food coloring
- Bat sprinkles
- Light purple candy melts or white chocolate with purple food coloring
- Piping bottle (like this one)
Instructions
- Melt the black candy melts according to the package directions. Carefully fill the number mold (1 through 4) and place it in the fridge to chill until fully set. Once hardened, gently pop out the numbers and give them a light mist of silver glitter spray for a sparkly finish.
- Add Ghirardelli white melts (or purple candy melts) to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth (about 1½ minutes total). If using white melts, stir in a few drops of oil-based purple candy coloring (like Chefmaster). Avoid water-based food coloring—it will cause the chocolate to seize.
- Spoon a layer of melted purple chocolate into each cavity of your s’mores mold, filling about ⅓ of the way. Tap the mold gently on the counter to even out the layer and remove air bubbles.
- Place one square of chocolate graham cracker into each cavity, pressing lightly so the melted chocolate rises slightly around the edges.
- Use a piping bag small spoon to add a dollop of marshmallow fluff to the center of each cracker. Don’t overfill—just enough to give a gooey middle.
- Place a second chocolate graham cracker on top of each s’more and press gently to secure, leaving room for the final chocolate layer.
- Spoon more melted purple chocolate over the top of each mold cavity, covering the top cracker completely. Tap again to smooth and eliminate any bubbles. If crackers float, press them down gently.
- Use an offset spatula to scrape across the back of the mold and remove any excess chocolate for a clean finish.
- Place the mold in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until fully hardened.
- Once set, flip the mold onto a parchment-lined tray and gently press the backs to release each s’more.
- Melt light purple candy melts or white chocolate tinted with purple gel food coloring. Transfer to a piping bottle or fine-tip bag. Drizzle over one s’more at a time and immediately top with bat sprinkles.
- Using the extra melted purple chocolate, pipe a small amount onto the back of each number. Press the numbers onto the bottom right corner of each s’more to secure.
- Let your decorated s’mores rest at room temperature for 5–10 minutes so the centers soften slightly. These are best enjoyed at room temp when the marshmallow fluff is soft and gooey.
FAQ
How far in advance can I make these Count s’mores?
You can make them up to 2–3 days ahead. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
Can I use marshmallows instead of fluff?
You can, but fluff spreads more evenly and keeps the s’mores mold filled neatly. If using marshmallows, slightly flatten them for best results.
What brand of candy melts works best?
Ghirardelli melting wafers give the smoothest finish and best flavor, but Wilton and Sweet Tooth Fairy also work well for color variety.
How do I prevent my chocolate from seizing when coloring?
Use oil-based or candy-specific food coloring. Water-based colorings will ruin the texture of melted chocolate.
Can kids help with this recipe?
Yes! Kids can help drizzle, decorate with bat sprinkles, and count out the chocolate numbers for a fun hands-on treat.
Sprinkle of Fun
These are the perfect project for a long weekend or random school day off—easy enough to tackle with kids, but fun and fancy enough to feel like a treat. Let them help count out the chocolate numbers, drizzle on the purple, and sprinkle those bats. It’s part snack, part activity, and 100% fun.
