S’mores hold a special place in our hearts—gooey marshmallows, melted chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers instantly brings cozy vibes. But leave it to TikTok to take this nostalgic dessert and transform it into something that’s both grown-up and wildly creative: the S’mores Shot. Equal parts snack and cocktail, this trendy treat is blowing up feeds and proving there’s no limit to what you can do with a little marshmallow and a lot of imagination.
A Sweet Twist on Tradition
TikTok’s S’mores Shots put an adults-only spin on the tradition, turning the campfire dessert into an edible, boozy shooter. It’s everything you love about s’mores—plus a splash of your favorite liquor. What’s not to love?
Here’s how it works: Instead of sandwiching a marshmallow between chocolate and a graham cracker, you hollow it out to create a tiny shot glass. Fill it with classic Baileys Irish Cream or the S’mores-flavored version for an extra punch of flavor. The result? A rich, creamy shot that doubles as a melt-in-your-mouth dessert. Prefer a little variety? Chocolate or vanilla-flavored vodka also makes a great addition to your marshmallow masterpiece.
How to Make S’mores Shots Like a Pro
Making S’mores Shots is surprisingly simple, though the marshmallow “shot glass” does require a bit of finesse. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you nail the trend:
Pick Your Marshmallow: Bigger is better! Giant marshmallows are essential for creating a sturdy vessel for your boozy filling.
Hollow It Out: You’ve got two options here. For the DIY torch method, carve out the center of the marshmallow, place it on a graham cracker with a slab of chocolate, and toast the outside with a kitchen torch. No torch? Pierce an untoasted marshmallow with a fork and hold it over a gas flame to melt the center, then transfer it to your graham cracker base and carefully remove the fork.
Patch Any Holes: Use melted chocolate to seal any gaps, ensuring your marshmallow can hold liquid. Bonus: The chocolate adds even more flavor.
Pour and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is set, fill your marshmallow with Baileys or your liquor of choice. Take the shot, savor the flavor, and then eat the s’mores base as a sweet, toasty chaser.
With so many ways to customize the recipe—think caramel drizzle, sprinkles, or a shot of espresso martini—there’s endless potential for personalization. Whether you’re hosting a party or just looking for a fun kitchen experiment, S’mores Shots are a deliciously boozy treat that’s guaranteed to wow your guests (and your followers). So grab your marshmallows, fire up the torch, and let the s’mores evolution continue!
