Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a large bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
3. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed.
5. Pour in the half & half and French vanilla creamer, and stir until the dough begins to come together. You may need to add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
7. Pat the dough into a disc about 1-inch thick. Cut the disc into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra French vanilla creamer.
9. Bake the scones for 18-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
10. While the scones are baking, prepare the marshmallow drizzle by mixing marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and a little French vanilla creamer in a bowl until smooth and drizzle-able.
11. Once the scones are out of the oven and have cooled slightly, drizzle the marshmallow mixture over the top.
12. Serve and enjoy your delicious s’mores scones!

FAQs

1. Can I make the scones ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Simply shape the dough into a disc, cover, and store it in the fridge.

2. Can I use regular cream instead of French vanilla creamer?

Yes, you can use regular heavy cream or half & half instead of French vanilla creamer. The flavor might be less sweet, so you may want to add a little vanilla extract.

3. Can I make these scones without the marshmallow drizzle?

Yes, the scones are delicious on their own without the drizzle. You could also try a simple glaze or just dust them with powdered sugar.

4. Can I substitute marshmallow fluff for something else?

If you can’t find marshmallow fluff, you can make a homemade marshmallow glaze using marshmallow creme and powdered sugar.

5. How do I prevent the scones from becoming too dry?

Make sure not to overwork the dough, as this can lead to dense, dry scones. Gently combine the ingredients, and if the dough feels too dry, add a little more cream.

6. Can I use large marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

Yes, you can cut large marshmallows into smaller pieces if needed. However, mini marshmallows tend to melt better throughout the scone.

7. How do I know when the scones are done?

The scones should be golden brown on the outside, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with just a few crumbs.

8. Can I add more chocolate chips?

Yes, you can add more chocolate chips to the dough for extra chocolaty goodness. Just make sure it doesn’t make the dough too sticky.

9. Can I freeze the marshmallow drizzle?

The marshmallow drizzle can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. If it hardens, just warm it up slightly before using.

10. Can I use a different flavor of creamer?

Absolutely! You can use any flavored creamer you like, such as caramel, hazelnut, or chocolate, for a unique twist on the scones.

These Easy S’mores Scones are a fun and irresistible twist on the classic campfire treat.
