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 Sāmores
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.

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

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