Grilled Snacks
Sweet and crunchy grilled snacks featuring peanut butter and marshmallows on graham crackers, perfect for a quick treat or party appetizer with a warm, gooey center.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread peanut butter on each graham cracker square and scatter miniature marshmallows on top.
- Place the prepared crackers under a broiler to heat and brown lightly.
- Serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor twist, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey on top of the peanut butter before adding the marshmallows. If you prefer a nut-free option, you can use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter. Keep an eye on the crackers under the broiler to prevent burning, as they can brown quickly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these warm and gooey snacks as a delightful dessert or a fun treat for parties. They pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence. For a complete spread, consider offering them alongside some fresh fruit or a light salad like Teresa'S Dressing for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
These grilled snacks are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them under the broiler for a few seconds until warmed through, being careful not to burn them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of nut butter?
Absolutely! You can substitute almond butter, cashew butter, or even soy nut butter for a nut-free alternative. Each will bring its unique flavor to the snacks while maintaining the delicious gooey texture when broiled.
How can I make these snacks more filling?
To make these snacks more substantial, consider adding sliced bananas or strawberries on top of the marshmallows before broiling. This adds fruitiness and pairs well with the peanut butter, turning them into a satisfying treat that could even serve as a light meal.
Is there a way to make these ahead of time?
While these snacks are best served fresh, you can prepare the graham crackers with peanut butter and marshmallows in advance. Store them in the refrigerator and broil them just before serving to enjoy that warm, gooey texture.
