Dinner or Dessert? S’mores Pizza with Gooey Marshmallow

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I keep making this recipe because it’s incredibly easy and always feels fun. I like that it uses simple ingredients and comes together fast, yet still feels special enough to share. It’s perfect when I want a quick dessert that everyone instantly recognizes and gets excited about.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 pre-made pizza crust
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 sleeve graham crackers, crushed
1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 400°F and placing the pizza crust on a baking sheet. I brush the melted butter evenly over the crust, making sure to reach the edges.

Next, I sprinkle the crushed graham crackers evenly over the buttered crust to create that classic s’mores base. I scatter the chocolate chips over the top, followed by the mini marshmallows.

I bake the pizza until the marshmallows are golden brown and gooey. Once it’s out of the oven, I let it cool slightly so the chocolate sets just enough for clean slices before serving.

Servings and Timing

I usually slice this pizza into about 6 servings. Prep time takes around 5 minutes, baking takes about 10–12 minutes, and the total time is roughly 15–20 minutes from start to finish.

Variations

I sometimes add chocolate chunks instead of chips for extra melty pockets. When I want more texture, I sprinkle chopped chocolate bars or drizzle melted chocolate on top after baking. I’ve also tried adding a layer of chocolate spread under the toppings for an extra-rich version.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, I warm slices briefly in the oven so the crust stays crisp and the marshmallows soften again.

FAQs

Is this meant to be a dessert or a meal?

I serve it as a dessert or sweet snack, but it’s fun enough that it can pass as either.

Can I use homemade pizza dough?

Yes, I’ve used homemade dough successfully, baking it partially first before adding toppings.

How do I keep the marshmallows from burning?

I keep an eye on the oven and pull the pizza as soon as the marshmallows turn golden.

Can I add other toppings?

I like adding peanut butter drizzle or chopped nuts for extra flavor.

Should this be served warm or cooled?

I prefer serving it warm so the marshmallows stay gooey and the chocolate is melty.

Conclusion

This s’mores pizza with gooey marshmallow is one of my favorite quick desserts when I want something playful and comforting. I love how it captures all the nostalgic s’mores flavors in an easy, shareable format that always disappears fast.
