👩‍🍳 How to Make DIY Tie Dye S’mores

Step 1: Toast the Marshmallows

Toast the marshmallows over a campfire, stovetop, or under the oven broiler until they’re golden brown and soft.

Step 2: Assemble the S’mores

Place one chocolate square on a graham cracker. Add the warm toasted marshmallow and top with another graham cracker. Press gently until the chocolate begins to melt.

Step 3: Melt the Candy

Melt the white candy melts according to the package directions. Divide the melted candy into several small bowls.

Step 4: Create the Tie Dye Colors

Add a different gel food coloring to each bowl and stir until smooth.

Step 5: Decorate

Drizzle the colored candy melts over each s’more in a random pattern. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together for a beautiful tie dye effect.

Step 6: Finish the Treats

Decorate with rainbow sprinkles or edible glitter while the candy coating is still wet. Let the candy harden for about 10–15 minutes before serving.

🔥 Tips for the Best Tie Dye S’mores

• Use gel food coloring for bright, vibrant colors.
• Don’t overmix the colors or they’ll become muddy.
• Toast marshmallows until they’re soft and gooey inside.
• Let the candy coating fully set before stacking.
