Ingredients
Instructions
- Place 4 graham crackers on a cookie sheet.
- Put a milk chocolate candy bar on top of each graham cracker.
- Set the oven to broil and broil until the chocolate bars are slightly melted.
- Remove from the oven and place 3 marshmallows on each graham cracker with chocolate.
- Return to the oven and broil until the marshmallows are slightly brown.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate candy bars instead of milk chocolate. If you can't find graham crackers, vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits work well as substitutes. Keep an eye on the marshmallows while broiling, as they can burn quickly. For a twist, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before serving to enhance the sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
These Angels On Horseback make a delightful dessert or snack, perfect for gatherings or movie nights. Serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast in temperatures. They pair beautifully with a cup of hot cocoa or coffee, enhancing the overall experience and making it a cozy treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you prefer to enjoy them warm again, reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it may make the texture chewy rather than crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate?
Absolutely! You can experiment with different chocolate varieties like dark chocolate or even flavored chocolates for added depth. Just keep in mind that the melting time might vary slightly, so watch them closely while broiling.
What can I use instead of graham crackers?
If graham crackers aren’t available, you can use vanilla wafers, shortbread cookies, or even crushed pretzels mixed with a little sugar for a unique flavor. Each alternative will give a slightly different taste and texture but will still work well.
How do I know when the marshmallows are done?
The marshmallows are done when they are golden brown on top and slightly puffed. This usually takes just a minute or two under the broiler, so keep a close watch to prevent burning.
