Viral S’mores Smashed Dates

I’m not going to lie, I fully understand why these smashed s’mores dates went viral.

They’re basically a s’more and a chocolate-covered date had a baby — and the result is ridiculously good.

You get the chewy, caramel-y Medjool date, crunchy graham crackers, fluffy marshmallow, and melted chocolate all in one bite. Then you freeze them, which makes the chocolate set and gives the whole thing the BEST texture.

And yes, I’ve already made them more than once.

What You’ll Need

Organic Medjool dates
Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins, or your favorite graham crackers
Dandies Organic Marshmallow Fluff
Hu melted chocolate

You can absolutely swap in whatever graham crackers or chocolate you have on hand. The combination is what makes these so good.

How to Make Smashed S’mores Dates

Smash the dates.
Make a slit down the center of each Medjool date and remove the pit. Place the date on parchment paper and use a small jar or glass to smash it flat.

Add the graham crackers.
Place two graham crackers on top of the smashed date and press them down slightly so they stick to the date.

Add the marshmallow.
Spread a little marshmallow fluff over the top.

Add the chocolate.
Drizzle or spread melted chocolate over the marshmallow, then sprinkle with a little extra crushed graham cracker.

Freeze.
Pop them into the freezer until the chocolate is completely set.

Eat!
I like storing mine in an airtight container in the freezer. When I want one, I let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating.

Tips

Use soft Medjool dates: They’ll smash much more easily and give you that chewy caramel-like texture.
Don’t skip the freeze: This is what gives the chocolate that perfect little snap.
Make a batch: Since they store so well in the freezer, I’d make more than you think you need.
Let them sit: A few minutes at room temperature makes them easier to bite into without losing that cold, chewy texture.

Basically, if you love s’mores, dates, chocolate, or freezer desserts, you’re going to want to make these.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll probably make them once and immediately understand why they went viral. Tag me on Instagram @whatrobineats when you do!!
