1-Gathering and Preparing Ingredients: First, get your workspace ready by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps with the freezing step later. Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature, like the cream cheese, to mix everything smoothly.

2-Mixing and Forming the Truffles: Next, crush the 18 whole graham crackers into fine crumbs using a sealed bag and a spoon if you don’t have a food processor. Combine the crumbs with ½ cup cream cheese and ½ cup marshmallow fluff until you get a moist dough if it’s crumbly, add a bit more cream cheese. Scoop the dough, flatten it into 2.5-inch discs, place a mini marshmallow in the center, fold the dough over, and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

3-Freezing and Dipping: Freeze the truffles for 20 minutes to set them firmly. While they chill, melt the 2 cups milk chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon shortening until smooth, stirring frequently at 50% power in the microwave. Dip each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate, tapping off the excess, and immediately sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs.

4-Final Steps and Storing: Return the dipped truffles to the baking sheet and refrigerate for about 10 minutes until the chocolate sets. For the best results, use toothpicks or forks for dipping and tap gently to remove excess chocolate. Prep time is just 10 minutes, chilling time is 30 minutes, and total time is 40 minutes, so you can enjoy these smores truffles with gooey chocolate in no time!
