This easy slow cooker dessert is the kind of fun, low-effort treat that makes a regular day feel a little special. With just four ingredients, it turns classic s'mores flavors into a warm, scoopable dessert with a cool minty twist from the chocolate and mint candies. It is especially handy for parties, movie nights, sleepovers, or anytime you want something sweet without turning on the oven.
Serve this warm right out of the slow cooker with graham crackers for dipping, or spoon it into small bowls and top with extra crushed graham crackers. It also pairs nicely with vanilla ice cream, a mug of coffee, or cold milk for the kids. If you are setting it out for guests, keep a tray of strawberries, pretzel sticks, and shortbread cookies nearby for easy dipping options.
4-Ingredient Slow Cooker S'mores Day Dessert
Servings: 8
Ingredients
24 unwrapped square chocolate and mint candies
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup crushed graham crackers
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Directions
1. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker, then spread the unwrapped square chocolate and mint candies evenly across the bottom.
2. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the candies, then sprinkle the crushed graham crackers across the top.
3. Top with the mini marshmallows, cover, and cook on low for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the candies are melted and the marshmallows are soft and puffed.
4. Turn off the heat and let the dessert sit uncovered for 5 minutes. Scoop into bowls or serve straight from the slow cooker with extra graham crackers for dipping.
Variations & Tips
Less Minty Version: If you want the dessert to taste more like classic s'mores, replace part of the chocolate and mint candies with plain milk chocolate squares. This softens the mint flavor and makes it more appealing for picky eaters.
Crunchy Topping: For a little extra texture, sprinkle additional crushed graham crackers over each serving right before serving. That simple touch gives each bite more crunch and helps balance the gooey center.
Easy Party Serving: Keep the slow cooker on the warm setting for short stretches during a gathering so guests can scoop their own. Set out graham crackers, vanilla wafers, and sliced fruit to make a simple dessert board around it.
Watch the Heat: Slow cookers can run differently, so start checking early. You want everything melted and soft, not overheated, since chocolate can scorch around the edges if left too long.
Kid-Friendly Fun: Let children help by sprinkling on the graham cracker crumbs and marshmallows before cooking. It is a nice little kitchen job that makes dessert feel extra special.
