The combination of the rich chocolate filling and the toasted marshmallows will transport you back to childhood memories of roasting marshmallows by the fire. It's a perfect way to bring a nostalgic touch to any gathering.

These treats are not only visually appealing but also incredibly easy to make. With simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you can whip up this dessert in no time. The tart crust, made from graham cracker crumbs, provides a crunchy texture that beautifully contrasts with the creamy chocolate filling. This balance of textures makes every bite a delightful experience.

Tips for Perfecting Your Tart

To achieve the best results with your S'mores Chocolate Tart Treats, be sure to use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate. The flavor of the chocolate will significantly influence the overall taste of the tart. Additionally, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate filling for an enhanced flavor profile. The contrast of sweet and salty is simply divine and elevates the dessert to gourmet status.

When it comes to toasting the mini marshmallows, keep a close eye on them while they're under the broiler. They can go from perfectly golden to burnt in a matter of seconds. If you prefer a more controlled method, you can also use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows, allowing you to achieve a beautiful char without the risk of burning.

Storage and Serving Suggestions

S'mores Chocolate Tart Treats can be prepared in advance, making them an excellent option for busy hosts. Once the tart is fully assembled and set, cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just be sure to add the marshmallow topping shortly before serving to keep them fluffy and fresh.

For an extra special touch, serve your tart with a side of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. The creamy accompaniments will complement the rich chocolate and toasted marshmallows beautifully. You can also sprinkle some crushed graham crackers on top for added crunch, turning an already delicious dessert into an unforgettable one.

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Make sure to gather all your ingredients before starting for a smooth preparation process!

Instructions

Make the Tart Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a tart pan.

Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool.

Prepare the Chocolate Filling

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Assemble the Tart

Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled tart crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Add the Marshmallow Topping

Once the chocolate filling is set, preheat your broiler. Top the tart with mini marshmallows and place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning!

Serve and Enjoy

Once the marshmallows are toasted, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Slice and serve your S'mores Chocolate Tart Treats, garnished with chocolate shavings if desired.

Enjoy these delightful treats with friends and family!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different types of chocolate for the filling? Absolutely! While semi-sweet chocolate is traditional, you can experiment with dark chocolate for a more intense flavor or even milk chocolate for a sweeter tart. Just keep in mind that the texture and taste may vary depending on your choice.

How do I know when the chocolate filling has set? The filling should be firm to the touch but still slightly soft. It will continue to firm up as it cools in the refrigerator. If you press gently on the surface and it springs back, you know it’s ready for the marshmallow topping.
