Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices thick-cut white bread (a sturdy loaf like brioche or Texas toast works beautifully)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 8 large marshmallows (use jumbo marshmallows for that perfect gooey melt)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for a subtle warm spice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, to brush on the bread for extra aroma)
Substitution tips: If you prefer a bit of whole grain, use hearty sandwich bread, but make sure it’s thick enough to hold the fillings. For a dairy-free version, swap butter for coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers on top for that classic campfire crunch.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will catch any drips of melting marshmallow and chocolate — trust me, it saves a good cleanup later.
- Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter (about 3-4 inches wide), press gently into each bread slice to cut out heart shapes. Don’t toss the leftover bread; save it for crumbs or toast it for snacking.
- Spread about 1 teaspoon of softened butter evenly on both sides of each heart-shaped bread slice. If you’re using vanilla extract, brush a little on top of the butter for added flavor.
- Place the bread hearts on the baking sheet. Arrange 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate on each slice, spreading them evenly but leaving a small border around the edges.
- Cut the marshmallows in half if they’re jumbo, then place 2 halves on top of the chocolate on each bread heart. This layering helps the marshmallow melt evenly without burning.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sugar and cinnamon over each slice if you like a bit of extra sparkle and warmth.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and puffy, and the edges of the bread are crisp and toasted.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving — the marshmallow will be hot and molten. I learned this the hard way one chilly evening, eager to taste and burned my tongue! Patience is a virtue even with this treat.
