- Chocolate choice: Substitute Hershey bars with dark chocolate or flavored chocolate bars for a different taste.
- Candy bolts: Use mini pretzel sticks or chocolate chips instead of Rolo candies for the neck bolts.
🔪 How To Make Frankenstein Smores
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place graham crackers on a cookie sheet and top each one with a 3-piece Hershey bar.
- Step 2: Place in oven for about 2-3 minutes. This will let the chocolate soften just a little. Take out and place the Frankenstein peep on top of the chocolate.
- Step 3: Place back in the oven for another 2-3 minutes. It doesn’t take to long for the marshmallow to soften so keep an eye on them.
- Step 4: Take out of the oven and place 2 roll candies on each side of the neck. You might have to hold for a few seconds. Enjoy right away for that ooey gooey goodness!
*Optional: You can add a graham cracker topper if you’d like.
Enjoy!
👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Warm the graham crackers with chocolate just until the chocolate softens; this helps the marshmallow adhere better.
- Press the Frankenstein Peeps gently onto the softened chocolate to ensure they stick without losing their shape.
- Hold the Rolo candies in place for a few seconds to let them set as the 'neck bolts' before serving.
💭 FAQs
Keep them in an airtight container at room temp for 2–3 days. If your house is warm, store them in the fridge so the chocolate doesn’t get melty.
Yes! Just slice large marshmallows in half or squish them into shape. Flat sides make decorating Frankenstein’s face way easier.
Let the candy melts cool slightly before dipping, and make sure your marshmallows are at room temp. Store finished s’mores in a cool spot to keep them looking spooky-perfect.
Absolutely! This is a super kid-friendly recipe. Let them dip, decorate, and get creative with faces—it’s messy fun they’ll love.
💖 Serving Suggestions
These are my favorite treats to serve with Frankenstein s’mores:

- Monster punch: Bright green, fizzy, and fun—bonus points for floating gummy eyeballs.
