S’mores No Bake Bites bring campfire magic into your kitchen without needing a flame. After testing variations from top-rated recipes, I found the perfect balance of chewy oats, nutty peanut butter, and gooey marshmallow bits that set in minutes. The result? A high-energy snack that kids and adults love.
Perfect S’mores No Bake Bites Recipe
This recipe works because it uses oats and crushed graham crackers as the sturdy base, while peanut butter and honey act as natural binders. Chia seeds add a nutritious crunch, and mini marshmallows with chocolate chips deliver the nostalgic s’mores flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free oats work well)
- 1/3 cup finely crushed graham crackers (gluten-free optional)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (almond or cashew butter can be substituted)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallow bits (Mallow Bits or similar)
Ingredient Tips:
- Natural nut butters may be too runny—use creamy for best binding.
- Quick oats can be used for softer bites, while old-fashioned oats give more chew.
- Mini chocolate chunks work if you can’t find small chips.
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together oats, crushed graham crackers, chia seeds, and salt.
- Add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined and moist.
- Gently fold in mini chocolate chips and marshmallow bits.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion 1–2 tablespoons of mixture and roll into balls.
- Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.

No Bake Cookie Techniques & Tips for S’mores Bites
Texture & Setting Guide
The mixture should feel slightly sticky but firm enough to roll. If it crumbles, add a touch more peanut butter or honey. If it’s too sticky, chill the bowl for 5–10 minutes before rolling. In humid climates, setting may take longer—store bites chilled to maintain shape.
Pro Tips for Best Results
- Lightly wet your hands before rolling to prevent sticking.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform bites.
- Always store in the fridge to keep chocolate firm and marshmallows chewy.
- Work quickly—chocolate may start melting if left too long at room temperature.
