Valentine s’mores brownie bites mash up gooey marshmallow, chocolate and graham crunch in a bite-size package. You bake brownies, scoop the soft middle, tuck in a little fluff, then dip each ball in melted chips before rolling in crumbs. They’re like indoor s’mores which is a great treat if it’s too chilly to make s’mores outdoors! No candy thermometer or special pans needed for these s’mores brownie bites, just simple steps to turn a boxed mix into pretty, glossy truffles.
These Valentine s’mores brownie bites wrap gooey marshmallow inside soft brownie, then dip in chocolate for a tempting treat that’s easy, fun and wildly tasty.

For more detailed instructions with weights and measurements, jump to the printable recipe card.
Bake brownies: Prepare and cool until the interior is soft enough to scoop.
Scoop centers: Avoid the crusty edges and gather the fudgy middle.
Soften by hand: Press and fold the scoops until cohesive.
Form bowls: Flatten a portion in your palm to make a shallow cup.
Add marshmallow: Place a little fluff or one mini marshmallow in the center.
Seal and roll: Wrap dough around the filling and roll into a smooth ball.
Chill until firm: Set on a lined plate and refrigerate or freeze until set.
Melt chocolate: Warm chips in short bursts, stirring until glossy.
Thin if needed: Stir in a tiny splash of oil for a fluid dip.
Dip and drain: Use a fork or pick to coat, then let excess drip off.
Coat in crumbs: Roll in graham crumbs and sprinkles for coverage.
Set: Rest on parchment and chill until the shell hardens.
Substitutions and Variations
Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free brownie mix and certified gluten free graham crumbs. Keep tools separate to avoid cross-contact.
Dairy-free option: Choose dairy-free chocolate chips and verify the brownie mix is dairy-free.
Flavor twist: Add a drop of peppermint or orange oil to the melted chocolate.
Double dip: Let the first shell set, then drizzle or re-dip for contrast.
Homemade brownie batter: If you want to make your own, choose a fudgy style so the interior stays soft enough to roll.
Marshmallow fluff: Prefer not to use this? Individual marshmallows work too and they’re less messy.
Serving Suggestions
With a Valentine’s Day drink: Enjoy a strawberry sour candy cocktail or a Hawaiian lava flow cocktail with your cookies.
With other cookies: Try heart-shaped donut holes or strawberry kiss cookies.
With ice cream: Save the crusty outside of the brownies (not so good for rolling into brownie bites) to sprinkle over homemade no-churn ice cream!
How to Store Brownie Balls
Store: Refrigerate the s’more truffles in a sealed airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Freeze: You can freeze them for up to 4 weeks.
Thaw: Thaw on the counter. They don’t take long to defrost.
Top Tips
Use the soft middle: The fudgy brownie interior rolls cleanly and seals better.
Keep hands slightly damp: Prevents sticking and helps create smooth spheres.
Work in batches: Dip a few at a time so coatings stay neat.
Mind the crumb size: Fine crumbs coat evenly and won’t shed as much.
Test one first: Dip a single ball to check chocolate thickness and crumb coverage.
Valentine Brownie Bite FAQs
It likely overheated or got moisture in it. Warm gently and stir until smooth.
Dip, let excess chocolate drip, then roll in fine crumbs so they adhere to the still-wet shell.
Valentine S’mores Brownie Bite Truffles Recipe
Valentine S’mores Brownie Bites
Equipment
- Baking Dish 8-Inch Square
- Scoop
- Whisk or Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 Box brownie mix, plus the ingredients it calls for
- 1 Cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 ¼ Cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini
- ½ Cup marshmallow fluff, or 20 mini marshmallows
- 1 Teaspoon oil, optional
- sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Make the brownies as directed on the back of the box mix, using an 8-inch square pan. You could use a larger pan but I recommend using an 8-inch pan as you will get more of the soft interior that you need.
- When the brownies have baked and cooled, take a scoop from the inside of the brownies, avoiding the crunchy outer edges. Place the scoop of brownie and the palm of your hand and squish it several times just like Play-Doh to get it nice and soft and combined.
- While the brownie Is still in the palm of your hand, use your thumb to flatten it out into a shallow little bowl. Take a very small scoop of the marshmallow fluff or one mini marshmallow and place it into the centre of the brownie bowl. Wrap the edges of the brownie up over the marshmallow fluff and very gently roll the ball between your palms to ensure it's all closed together.
- Continue this process with the rest of the brownies then place all of the balls onto a plate and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Place the graham cracker crumbs and as many sprinkles as you like into a shallow dish, set aside.
- After about 30 minutes, place the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave safe dish and microwave in 20 second intervals until melted. If the chocolate feels a little thick you could add about a teaspoon of oil to the chocolate to help with the dipping process.
- Take the brownie balls out of the freezer using a fork or a toothpick, dip each ball into the chocolate, let it drip any excess chocolate off for just a moment then roll in the graham cracker mixture. Set the finished truffle onto a plate lined with parchment and paper.
- Once all the truffles are completed place the truffles in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate shell has hardened.
