🔥 Tips for Getting the Perfect Toast on Your Marshmallows

That signature golden top is what makes s’mores magical. Here’s how to get it just right:

Broiler Method: Place assembled pies under the broiler for 1–2 minutes. Watch constantly! Marshmallows go from perfect to scorched in seconds.
Torch Method: Use a culinary torch for even, controlled browning. Move the flame in circles and avoid direct contact for a golden finish.
Oven Toasting Tip: Place the marshmallows on a parchment-lined sheet pan, toast, then gently transfer to chilled chocolate-filled pies if you want no-melt precision.

Bonus idea: Dip toasted marshmallows in chocolate and press on top for an over-the-top presentation.

❄️ Make-Ahead & Storage Ideas for Events

One of the best parts of this recipe is how well it holds up in advance.

📆 Make-Ahead Instructions

Crust: Make and bake crusts 1–2 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temp.
Chocolate layer: Can be made and chilled 1 day in advance.
Assembly: Add marshmallows right before serving and toast to maintain the texture.

🧊 Freezer Tips

Freeze chocolate-filled pies in a single layer without marshmallows.
Wrap in plastic wrap and foil.
Thaw in fridge overnight, top with fresh marshmallows, and torch.

These hacks make mini s’mores pies a go-to for meal prep, gifting, and party planning.
