These easy s’mores trifles are perfect when you want to serve up the classic burned, crunchy, gooey graham cracker and melted chocolate flavors but don’t have a campfire handy. The trifles take almost no work at all and because you eat them with a spoon you won’t get them all over your face.

Memorial day weekend is coming up and that means s’mores season is finally kicking off!
S’mores are one of America’s finest inventions, in my opinion. The combination of flavors and textures is wonderful and never gets old.
The one minor gripe I have with s’mores is their messiness, there is just about no way to eat them without bathing your hands, cheeks and chin in chocolate and marshmallow goo. How do you get around that? Very simple, you turn the s’mores into the trifles that I have here and eat them with a spoon.
Ingredients:
How to make the trifles:
The trifles are made up of three layers: crumbled graham crackers, Nutella and marshmallow cream. I got the idea for this recipe from this s’mores trifles recipe on My Baking Addiction, which features s’mores flavors along with fresh strawberries. For the recipe here I left out the strawberries and added the pumpkin spice because it works great with the hazelnutty chocolate.
Start with 1/3 cup crushed graham crackers (process about 2 and 1/4 sheets in your food processor).
Next, mix 1 tablespoon melted, unsalted butter and 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin spice into the crackers.
To assemble the trifles, layer the graham crackers crumbles with Nutella* and marshmallow cream* into jars or ramekins and torch each marshmallow cream layer with a kitchen torch.
*Use about 1/2 tablespoon of marshmallow cream and 1/2 tablespoon of Nutella for each layer.

Nicole you’ve done it!! Recipe wise and photo wise. YUM!!I’d much rather have this delicious dessert than one that includes burnt marshmallows in-between graham crackers and a piece of chocolate. I mean I can get messy as anyone at a picnic but this would be perfect ending at an al fresco setting. Love it!

Thank you SO MUCH, Marisa! I see we are exactly on the same page when it comes to s’mores. :)

Umm, YEAH! I could take a bath in that luscious combination of goodness, right there! I like smores, too, but I enjoy the mess – it’s all part of it and brings back memories of camping with my folks. However, I’m all up for sophistication and this desserts certainly attains that! Chocolate hazelnut spread…. YUM! As always, beautiful photos. I just love looking through your site. Thanks for this eye candy and for a great recipe!
