If I have to choose one local store to buy chocolate World Market would be my choice.
I love that no matter what time of the year I do I find good quality European chocolate. Don’t get me wrong, I love all kinds of chocolate, but I have to say, Belgian chocolate is the way to this girl’s heart.
The local (and by that I mean the closest one) World Market is a little out-of-the-way but we do manage to visit it every other weekend.
Last weekend we got in the area and of course I had to stock up on some chocolate. Browsing through the isles, day dreaming and checking new products I got to the Christmas area.
Candy cane, peppermint bark, mints and all kinds of treats and up above, on the highest shelf, there it was a box with peppermint s’mores.
The temptation was big, i have to admit, but the $2.99 price tag for one tiny bite of peppermint s’more kinda stopped me.
I told myself, i can do that. I don’t have to pay $3 for it. I mean, it’s not big deal to make s’mores.
You toast the marshmallow, pack it between chocolate and graham cracker and you’re done. Right?
With a little bit of practice and after burning one pan I figured out how to make s’mores indoor.
It’s easy, but you have to work fast.
Let me show you how.
Candy Cane S’mores - a fun treat for kids and not only to make while waiting for Santa Clause.
Ingredients
- 16 graham crackers squares (8 crackers halved)
- 16 big marshmallows
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 5 tbsp heavy cream
- crushed candy cane
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 300F.
- In a microwave safe bowl place the chocolate chips and heavy cream and heat until melted and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Line the graham crackers on a cookie sheet, top with a marshmallow and place in the oven for about 2 minutes or until the marshmallows are slightly golden on top and puffed.
- As soon as you get the pan out of the oven, pour the melted chocolate in a pastry bag, cut the tip with the scissors (a small hole) and pipe over the toasted marshmallows.
- Sprinkle candy cane on top and enjoy!

These sound incredible!
Yesssss I CAN NOW EAT FESTIVE S’MORESSS!
I am pretty sure that my husband would not go for this. Not that it matters- I LOVE smore’s!
How pretty are these!! Love love love!
Holy YUM! Pretty sure I could make a billion batches of these in my house and they still wouldn’t make it to Christmas.
I love this idea, Roxana!!
Pinning!
These just made me all warm and happy (and minty!) YUM!
Yum! S’mores should be around for all seasons, great recipe!
I want to dive through the screen and eat one of these right now!
I just stared at the photos for five straight minutes! Yum!
(I Love World Market too!)
Everyday we were in Paris and then London recently on a quick holiday, we bought four of the best chocolates we could find and then savoured them slowly. Unfortunately that has spoilt ordinary chocolate for me – it will never taste good again. So, I agree with you – the choice of the chocolate you use in great recipe like this makes or breaks it.
I love the idea of candy cane s’mores. They look so festive and yummy. I’ll be making these for sure. Pinning!
Smores and mint! What a fantastic combo!!!
Pretty!!!
I bought peppermint bark Ghirardelli Chocolate..now that I’m on this baking with candy kick;-) I’m thinking of what to do with it, maybe make smores??!! Wonderful creative idea for the holidays;-)
Oh boy!!! Those are incredible looking!!! Now I must go back to staring longingly at them…
I love how simple these are yet the result is SO pretty! What a great holiday treat to make with the kids
What a cleaver, cleaver spin on smores! Perfect for the holidays. Cost Plus World Market is a such a fun place to shop.
Love this idea! I am always looking for treats to make for my girls to take to school and these would be perfect.
Oh, the weather outside is frightful…at least here in Canada. Which means, Christmas is fast approaching. At my last count, it’s 7 weeks away! And these candy cane s’mores smell like Christmas…woohoo…
What a genius combination! These absolutely scream Christmas to me.
I love World Market. We don’t have one anywhere near us up here
These smores rock, my friend.
Oh these are just perfect! I love, that you bake it and not do it over a fire. Mint and chocolate just go together. Wish I had a pan of those right in front of me!
So festive and delicious! And I am with you on World Market…love it
Incredible recipe and scrumptious cookie photos Roxana!
Three letters O.M.G. So yum and such great pictures!!! Thanks for Sharing!
Nice way to make s’mores festive. Bet they would be a hit.
S’mores are so much fun to make and I’ve never made them inside-now I want to try this fun holiday version:)
All I can say is WOW!!!
It took me ages (okay it’s just a few days) to read this post after I mean to check it out. I love this!!!! So pretty and so delicious. My kids and I will go crazy without doubt. Thank you for this quick and easy recipe!!!
Oh my gosh, I just love these!! My kids would go nuts if I made these for them
Love this idea – love gingerbread, marshmallows, peppermint, and easy and fun holiday ideas. Perfect for those last minute gatherings! Or just to have regardless
This is gorgeous! Pinned!
These are so fun!
My kids would love to make these!!
How long are these good for after they are made?
Hi Devan,
My advice is to eat them as soon as you make them, after few hours the marshmallows are not as gooey as they are supposed to be.

Love this idea! So fun and festive, not to mention pretty!
I just made these – here are some tips that others might find useful:
- I didn’t have a pastry bag, so I just used a regular ziplock which worked fine
- however, the chocolate was HOT, so make sure you have a towel or something between your hand and the chocolate. I burnt myself!
- these lasted pretty well sitting out overnight. The marshmallow didn’t get stale – I would just say it got chewy (which still tasted delicious!). The chocolate stayed soft (didn’t harden up like I expected)
- make sure that the marshmallow isn’t underdone. It actually took me way more than 2 minutes for them to puff up (maybe my oven rack was too low)…it took mine over 5 minutes, and they weren’t even fully done. If it isn’t puffy and toasted, the marshmallow won’t fall flat properly when you drizzle chocolate and it’ll be hard to take a bite!
They were DELICIOUS and pretty easy!
Beautiful photography Roxana, and great festive recipe! x
These look so delightful and so festive! Perfect for next week!
