6 ingredient {low carb – gluten free} dark chocolate peanut butter s’mores!!!!
Because 1, YUM!
And, 2 – Is it even the Fourth of July if we don’t have some festive treats?!
I know American Independence day is not something we celebrate here in Australia but, an excuse to make (& let’s be real, EAT) some fun and festive treats, I am here for it!
You with me?! Of course, you are, you’re cool like that!
Let me tell you, these dark chocolate peanut butter s’mores are 100% worth celebrating anytime you make them! Pleeeeaaaasssssse let it be today!
Subtly sweet, deliciously buttery, crisp and crunchy peanut butter cookies slathered with a layer of espresso-infused dark chocolate then topped with ooey, gooey, roasty, toasty marshmallows!
And yes, if you’re not into espresso you can absolutely leave it out, they will still be all kinds of incredible without that hint of espresso, just not quite as magical in my opinion but, you do you baby xo
Now, a word or warning . . . as simple as they are to make (hello just 6 basic pantry staples!! 4 to make the cookies & 2 more to put your low carb, gluten free s’mores together) they are dangerously addictive! Or is it addicting?! I can never decide?! Either way, they are super yum but the real warning I wanted to give here is that they are also, kind of messy to eat but also, very VERY #worthit
Super simple, seriously delicious they come together in 1 bowl with 1 spoon and can be ready to devour in less than 20 mins!!!
Gluten Free – Dairy free – Grain free – Refined sugar free – Low Carb – Paleo – Keto – Vegan friendly.
1 bowl + 6 ingredients . . . .
The only thing that’s left to decide is 1 marshmallow or 2?!
Make mine a double pls, HBU ?
Enjoy xo
6 ingredient {Low Carb - Gluten Free} Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter S'mores
- Cook Time: 15 mins
- Persons: 6
- Difficulty: Easy
- Ingredients
- For the cookies –
- 3/4 C peanut butter
- 1/2 C monk fruit sweetener (or granulated sweetener of choice)
- 1 egg – or your fave egg replacer
- 1 Tbsp tapioca (arrowroot) starch
- For the filling;
- 1 block dark chocolate
- 1 sachet decaf mocha before you speak coffee – technically opt but makes them 10 x more magical
- 6-12 marshmallows – depending on size and how mallow-y you want your filling
- Instructions
- Mix cookie ingredients
- Shape
- Bake @ 175’C/350’F for 6-8 mins
* note – they will be soft, let them sit, untouched for 2-3 mins and they will firm up & get nice & crunchy as they cool. Trust xo - While your cookies cool and set, melt choc & espresso pwd
- Top the smooth/ underside of each cookie with a dollop of melted choc
- Add a marshmallow (or 2)
- Pop back in the oven / under the grill or just in the air fryer (which is what I did) for 3-5 mins until the marshmallow is puffed & toasted to your liking
- Top with another cookie
- Devour!
* careful, those roasty, toasty marshmallows are hot, hot, HOT!!
*NOTE – if you want to go all in and make your own gluten-free marshmallows here are two amazing looking recipes by two of my all time fave ladies –
Steph Gaudreau has a dreamy-looking recipe for chocolate marshmallows (her recipe is actually choc mint but you could skip the mint) which she adapted from The urban poser – OG recipe here! Double choc peanut butter s’mores sound like a VERY good time to me!
And the amazing Danielle Walker @ against all grain has an incredible classic style {gluten free} marshmallow recipe here if you want to keep things more traditional.

Question of the day –
Would you rather . . . classic- style rustic camping or are you more a glamping (aka nice cozy hotel) person?!
the reason I ask is when I think s’mores I think summertime camping (even though camping is not something I’ve ever really done, its what they do in the movies so . . . that’s where my mind goes . . . you too?
